Run fast

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
