| What to say about this one...been watching the weather all week and it appeared like it would be 38 at the start and 90% rain chance, 38 is tough cuz it is the cutoff for shorts/tights for me. just before race time i looked and it was 42, it felt decent as well so the wind chill was minimal, maybe only 40, rain was light too. just about perfect for this time of year. (I love running in the rain..even cold rain). so i went with shorts, racing top, arm warmers, gloves and hat. Got started pretty good out the gate, about five of us guys got out together. answered several surges from the other guys in the early miles as they were keeping me honest...first mile, i was kinda shocked, 5:05, a little faster than i anticipated but i think the mile marker was off a little bit. 2nd mile was 5:39.6, which the marker was accurate for 2 miles but long compared to the first mile, so the 2 mile accurate split was 10:45, a very decent split. at this point there were 2 leaders out front and a chase pack of me and 2 other guys, i made my decisive move from the chase pack at this point and tried to pick off at least the 2nd place guy, plus i knew a pr was close so i wanted to finish strong. last 1.1 was 5:38.9, finished 3rd place and was pleasantly surprised to see 16:23 flash on the clock.definitely gave it all i had and poured my guts into that last mile.
I was ecstatic, still am. I never thought id PR in december, but it was ok weather and i love the rain. still got some bounce in my old shoes. The course may have been a little short, i heard several guys complain about this, and in measuring it quick, it indeed probably was a touch short, either way, i ran way too good to complain about a short course and to not count this as a PR. like ive said several times, im a runner, i show up and run, its the race directors job to worry about distance. i do this for fun, so if its billed as a 5k race, i will count it as such. plus, this course was so hilly that im even more impressed with my time. even if it was short, id of still been well under 16:45, possibly even PR territory. I plan to smoke all my pr's next year anyways, so this one wont stand for long, in the meantime im just gonna enjoy a great effort and a solid race! Very stoked right now!

| ill probably start counting 6:50+ as easy mileage cuz i got out today and managed another easy paced run in that vicinity. pretty chilly, 28 degrees, wc of 20, felt good though given i had just Pr-ed yesterday at the 5k. splits: 1- 6:46.7 2- 6:46.6 (pace lock) 3- 6:48.2 4- 6:59.0 5- 6:52.5 6- 6:51.4 7- 6:48.4 8- 7:07.9 hill total 55:00, 6:52.5 avg pace, kind of cool to hit an flat number like 55:00, ive done that a few times this fall. maybe got one more decent 5k in me, may be an indoor time trial to let it all out in a controlled accurate environment to see what i can run. strides and ice bath after

| decided today that while i may have another fast 5k in me yet this season, there are no more opportune race options. everything this weekend looks fine distance and course wise, but the weather is horrible, 15 degrees with wc around 0...hard to PR in those conditions, so instead I have offcially ended my fall season. stinks cuz i was on such a hot streak, but my legs have been sore lately and i dont wanna risk injury with a big spring marathon in Prague coming up in may. thus, i will take 7-10 days and then begin marathon training. next summer after the mary, i will break 16 in the 5k. peace easy and happy holidays! |

| 6 tonight to bring 2011 to a close..and what a year it was for running! I set PR's in distance run in a week, day, month, and year. I also accomplished some amazing (for me) races, especially during my fall training cycle. I ran my first marathon, i closed the year with 3 fast 5ks, the last being a PR 16:23! Overall, I was very happy with 2011 and i hope/know that 2012 will be even better. I have 3 goals: run over 2000 miles, break 16:00 in the 5k, and run 2 more marathons (hoping for sub 3:00). my first big race back will be in freiburg, germany in a half-marathon in april, i also plan on running the prague marathon in may. tonights run was a good one, 50 degrees, i sweated in a light hat, gloves, sleeves and shorts, never had such nice weather on dec. 31st before. splits: 1- 7:02.6 2- 7:06.8 3- 7:24.0 4- 7:07.8 5- 6:57.9 6- 7:00.4 TOTAL-- 42:39, 7:06.5 avg pace
