So ran the 5000 at Mcdaniel today. Wamrup etc adequate my side heel was a little sore but not bad. I didnt feel it at all in the race. Got out in 2nd and ran pretty even through the first mile(took lead after 2 laps) 82/2:44/4:06/5:30. Got tired fairly rapidly of course i cant remember each lap after the mile heh. the second mile was 552 ugh. I was running 88-89 per lap not great obv. Managed to pick it up a little in last lap(3rd mile 552) and the last 200 was an acceptable 39. 1754 overall at least its a starting point. My heel after the race felt almost completely fine which is good! Jogged 600m and then went to Baughers for breakfast. Hard to decide whether to get the whipped cream. Also 3rd place kid from pikesville and another guy beat me. Ugh.
Ealry goal for Goucher in 2 weeks is 1730. The good thing about running 552 pace for the last 2 miles is that its easy to speed up. Just go two weeks at a time. Then the Oregon Ridge 5k on April 9th and then hopefully I can get fast enough to have a chance to go to Widener on April 22nd. I wouldhave to be close to 17 at that point to let myslef go up there. But just keep making progress. Depending on how my heel is doing i might do some minutes on Monday but be careful. Still by then the grass should be good. Then tempo on Wednesday- the minor issue as always is that the tempo pace is 556 which was almost the last two mile race pace. But that was in the am and i was prob tireder anyway well see. Then hopefully? something faster on Friday like 80 pace ill look on my paper but maybe some 600s in 2:00 something like that.
Jamie did 1830 and Sarah did 2640 the winner was 1729 btw. Sucky to lose a race like this but not much to do right now jut good to practice racing again.
