6:52 pace around Liberty Park.  My groin is very sore.  I must have used some new muscles in the 5k.

I finally was able to do 500 floors in an hour on the stair master.  The machine says that is 10.5 miles but that seems crazy because that is faster than a 6 min/mile pace.  The effort however, is more than a 6 min pace so I am giving myself the credit. :)  5 miles easy after the stair master.  I probably lost 5 - 10 lbs in sweat.

This race wasn't as interesting or close as the last but I didn't mind because the result was the same. There was a big tail wind going out which explains the fast 5k but as the 4-6 splits show, I was SLOW coming back.  Another factor for the slow return was that I probably went out a little too fast.  The strategy must have worked however, because I dropped my closest competitor (same young guy from 2 weeks ago) at mile 1, and didn't see him for the rest of the race.  I think I finished a couple of minutes ahead.

5:06, 5:11, 5:11 (16:04 5k), 5:39, 5:38, 5:39

Ran around Liberty Park on the cinder track for the first time in probably 10 years.  I think I will do it more often because it's a nice break from the asphalt.

6:35 pace

2 miles on eliptical, 2 miles @ 6:45, 2.25 @ 5:55, 1.25 & 4:56.  After .25 at 12.1 mph the treadmill started squeaking and smelling funny.  It's probably broken.

After my warm up I wasn't sure how I would feel.  I think the pre race coffee was a bad idea.  I wanted to run 17, 17 and then possibly negative split the last 5k.  I was on target after the first 5k but I started fading a bit at the half way point.  At that point I was caught by Jamal (17 year old runner from Cyprus High) but I was only able to stick with him for a half mile.  I think the middle 5k was more like 18 and then I might have finished in 17.  Ok race given that I didn't feel great.  

Last year I felt amazing and I was only 20 seconds faster.  This tells me that I am improving.  I will check my splits later.
