Thanks everyone. For those creeping on my log (lol I'm not weirded out by it....it is public afterall), I will make a disclaimer that I just started logging my runs on here. Previous to what you see on my log (and prior to the ITBS crap) I completed the Hal Higdon Novice 10K plan, and before that the Hal Higdon Novice 5K plan. I switched a few running days around, but never missed a run during the 16 weeks of those 2 plans (actually I'm lying I missed a few during the Half Higdon 5K plan, because I was a baby about running in the rain back then and missed a run or 2 because of it lol, but that was it).

Thanks scotty! You sprang right to mind actually when I first considered this, lol since I've read many of your 2 race weekend RRs.

 I think you have enough time to try a few more back-to-back training runs to see how quickly you recover from the first and how tired you are on the second. That will give you an idea of whether you want to try the weekend double or just run your best in CP and skip Brooklyn.

I registered for the Brooklyn race. Decided if I spent any more time thinking about it I was going to miss out, because it is capped at 300 registrants. Now.... what to do about it... Tempted to race the 5K in Brooklyn. Why? Because I did PR yesterday, on a hilly course, with over 5000 racers that I had to dodge and weave around. I got a 32:30 on the money, if I can take off 40 seconds per mile and really push my finish line kick, not lose 30 seconds at a water stop, I have my sub 30. This course is flat, the field is small.... hmmmmm. I thought maybe PRing yesterday would make me more ok with running the 5K easy butttttt it may have done the opposite haha. Still need to decide though...gonna do some more back-to-back training runs and see how it goes.
