Unless anyone is racing New Year's eve or day....then I should extend it.
I'm thinking about racing new years. Maybe.
I'll bet others are too.
MTA:
12/29, BU mini meet, 3000m, 9:50.
I might also race on New Year's Day, not sure yet.

I'll race the 5K that I'm working on New Year's Day if we have enough volunteers for me to race. I am told it is hilly. I'll say 18:20.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Fast is better than long

Predicting 9:40 (5:10) vs. your 5:15 pace.
2013 Goals: 2500 miles / 2:45 marathon? / sub 2 800m / 4:30 mile / sub 16 5K / sub hour 10 miles

What in the Jehu?
I sure hope you're right and to be honest that sounds a hell of a lot more doable than 4:58.94 did before I actually did it. But there are a few things to consider:
1. I feel like I've gained 10 lbs since the mile (too much holiday cheer.)
2. My lungs have still not recovered from the mile. I am hacking and wheezing on every easy jog.
3. I expect this to get much more spread out and require much more of a solo effort, unlike the mile where it was shoulder-to-shoulder racing from start to finish.
4. The math required for 9:50 is really simple: just run 40 second laps. I can generally run that pace on command. Unlike the mile that's a pace I do workouts at with some regularity and it makes all the splits really easy to target: 40, 1:20, 2:00, 2:40. Granted I'd need to be a fraction of a second under 40 seconds per lap to actually run 9:50 but I can easily base everything off of how many seconds under those targets I am: i.e.: how many seconds under 2:00 (at 600) or 3:20 (at 1000) or 5:20 (at 1600) am I? etc.
So that's basically my game plan: run 39/40 second laps until 3 or 4 laps to go, then, assuming I have anything left, bury the needle. If I can breathe of course.

I'm pacing a half marathon on New Year's Day.

Sounds like a case of good ol' "track hack". Inflammation from the exertion.
The process is the goal.

I was much closer to my prediction than yours--around 9:50, results aren't posted yet and I had to take off right after my race. Alas.
Part of it is that I wasn't willing to suffer as much as I was when I was digging for sub 5. It was a crazy heat with like 23 people and I was on the upper barrel for the start, ran in lane 2 or 3 for the first 800 before I could find a spot on the rail, but all in all I ran I pretty good race. I was definitely working on the last 3 laps but not as balls out crazy as the last 600 of that mile last weekend. I could stand up and communicate a couple minutes after the race and even went and talked to EJ (who's running the mile along with Bucci btw!!) for minute before having to scoot out of there. Wish I could have stayed to see the mile heats.
Allergies and asthma are going a bit shithouse again but not as bad as last Saturday.
mta: Results are posted: 9:50.92. Meh.

More worried about getting down to the run than the run itself, even though it's longer than my weekly mileage has been in 6 of the last 8 weeks (and none of those weeks has been over 30 miles). Don't really want to head down the night before since my wife is looking forward to having champaign now that she isn't pregnant anymore, and not sure if I have anybody to carpool down to Boston or Hopkinton with given the whole leave at 3 a.m. thing...

What does your coach say? You did trick some one into becoming your coach, right?

There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.
Back beat, the word was on the street That the fire in your heart is out I'm sure you've heard it all before But you never really had a doubt

5k Resolution Run, Dover, DE
Don't have a guage on time goal, but considering current fitness level, thinking 27:30 would be a solid run. It's at the Buffalo Wild Wings. So, we'll have wings and nachos for post race breakfast.
MTA: Ilene, although we are on totally seperate continental coasts, I have no doubt that if we were to race a 5k race together, you would thouroughly kick our collective asses. I have no room to talk trash.
Current Goals: Run
I tricked a bunch of people so now I have a lot of coaches. Too many cooks in the kitchen, maybe? Doesn't really matter because as I said in my post looking for a coach, I'm basically uncoachable and unlikely to listen to them anyway.
One of my coaches was okay with the 9:50 so I went with his opinion this time.

good job on another track race.
Interval Junkie --Nobby
Been feeling a bit crappy the last two days: ankle feels like it's recovering from a sprain so I took a week off. Ankle isn't any better, but now I have 2lbs of xmas weight to lug around. And I feel worse than before my rest. Anyway, pretty soft-goal. My friend John is running. A sub-20 should beat him. That's all I want to do.
2013 Goals: 18:49 5K • 1:25 HM • sub-3 Marathon • run lots of races
