Heights 5K

Not alot to blog about on this one. I showed up loaded for bear, ready to put down a good number but faded in the 2nd half of the race for a disappointing 18:31. I went with the stopwatch instead of the Garmin by choice, because I didn't want to be too obsessed with the data and figured I'd adjust at mile one and at mile two, if necessary. Only problem was, there were no mile markers. And 5Ks are just too short to run by feel.

Anyway, gonna hit the training hard over the next few weeks and try to do something better at the Deer Park Independence 5K at the end of June.

More 400 Repeats Today

I met Steve and Brian at the track again this evening at 6 PM for another session of 12x400s. I felt great early on and we were smokin' 'em but the heat and too-fast pace began to take it's toll toward the end though I did soldier through and get all 12 done. It was a very tough workout. Here are the splits:

1:16, 1:14, 1:15, 1:14, 1:16, 1:14, 1:15, 1:16, 1:19, 1:18, 1:19, 1:15
