AM- Mile warmup, followed by dynamics and stretches. Mile time trial today. I haven't done a lot of speed lately, so I didn't really know how it would go. Got out slow and I knew it too. Felt fine the entire time. Got 5:12, which isn't too bad for no speed work and not doing much track work. Had alot more left in the tank for sure. Afterward did a 3 mile cooldown with Clayton and Talon. Average pace 6:58. Gonna do the Daniel Gurr 5k tonight. Not really gonna try and race it just see how I feel. Should be a good night.
PM- Got to the 5k and got signed up. There were not as many people there as I thought but it was still a fun race. Got out and everyone was basically jogging like a 9:00 pace so I just decided to start out really easy with a 7:40 pace the first couple minutes, but then there was this one marine who started to basically go ham!!! Dropped the pace down to 5:30 after that haha. Got about 2 miles in and he died, so I was basically alone and took it at a tempo pace for the rest of the run. Cause I really didn't feel like going race pace for this run. Came in at 19:11. I believe it was a little longer than a 5k because there are lots of 5ks at the college and they all start at the college but this one started at the high school. Oh well good run for a great cause!!! Thanks for your service Daniel Gurr!!! Also S/O to Rylie for walking with her mom!!!
