Tested my 5k pace on Friday night with a paces in the low 9s, low 8s, and low 7s. I would like to think I am fit enough to hold those low 7s for 3.1 miles but I am not there yet. My 5k PR is 25:04 and I know I am fully capable of going 7:30s all the way, which would be about a 23:43 but for now I am looking to go sub 25.
Put in another long run on Saturday - over 10 miles. Probably just taper down now leading into the weekend before Shamrock. I struggled a bit at the end but I hadn't fueled up right at all last week. I did get out to a big bonfire with friends Saturday night and grubbed good after my 10 miler.
My two boys did a local mile run and both PR'd so it was a great overall running weekend.
It took me 25 years to decide to run again after being a high school track sprinter. My wife was doubtful and asked that question. She had already experienced 25 years living with a marathon running father and now her husband was going to start running. I have done it. I have become a runner.I will attempt to document my experiences and share interesting tidbits along the way
