Training Log Archive: Mr Wonderful

Misread in the clock in the gym and accidentally went for an early jog. Kimberly's knee twinged, so I escorted her back and saw the correct time.

I should search if there's a way to display actual time on a 305.

My official warmup. Again, actual time would be nice, as standing around in short shorts and a t shirt at 35°F in drizzle for 10-15 minutes was not ideal.

Run Like the Dickens 5k in Holly, Michigan

I had aspirations of an age group third. The past three years all had a soft 22 ish for third in Men 35-39.

My goal was to open at 6:50 and adjust, hoping that aiming for about 21 even would give a little margin in case the competition was up a little.

I went out in 6:4x. It felt good, but I started fading a bit after 1.5 miles. I constantly checked my watch to keep under 7:00.

I finished in 21:21, or 6:53 pace, 50 seconds off my soft pr, but fine given my training. Unfortunately the competition was unpredictably much faster, with third around 6:30 pace, good for just over 20 minutes. Ouch. At least it was not close enough to think I could have squeezed it out.

So I am satisfied and look forward to building miles this winter and blowing out a pr in the spring.

Cool down.
