got a little work in without doing too much before a race on Wednesday. man it's getting hot. I felt much better today after two nights of 8 hr sleep and a 3 hr nap yesterday. I think my body just needed to catch up on recovery.

AM: 1.8 WU 5K race 2.1 CD

Official race time: 15:45. Well what can I say? My PR in the 5K is 15:24 and I ran that pace today but for a tougher course added to the fact that it was a long course and there you go. I ran exceptionally well and stayed strong when it got tough. Did I mention the fact that it was 80 degrees with a 75 dew point at start time? I can't wait for a flat, accurate course on a 55 degree day. I feel like I could break 15:20.

Started by feel, ran with Stein, Whitlow, and Greg for the first two miles. Stein took off as expected at the 2 mile mark. Greg did a short burst to gap me a bit. I fought quite hard and Greg was not able to open a larger gap but I was also not able to catch him.

Considering the conditions today I did really well and won 100 bucks too. I wonder what I would have run on the flatter, cooler Lima 5K course. I'm guessing 15:20s for sure. Strava auto splits from my GPS: 4:58,4:54,4:58, (4:57 pace last .2)

Wonderful weather with low humidity and in the low 60s. Getting that final mile workout in before the mile race next Friday evening. It's amazing how little volume makes you so tired when done at mile pace. 200m recovery after the 400 and 300 then 400m recovery after the 200 to separate sets. I wanted to do 4x200 after but my legs were done and I had enough. 
Lets see if I can remember all of my splits: (65,49,31)(64,48,32)(65,49,32)31
