Anyone else heading up to this race in Londonderry, NH on the 27th?

 

Fil, Titus, and I will be going up together.

I'm pretty tempted, I've never done a formal timed mile.  On the downside, my legs are feeling pretty beat so I doubt it would be a very good run.

 

It's a definite maybe for now.   Smile

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Ed.

 

No wonder it's sinking

Jess and I are gonna give it a shot.  I have no idea what pace I'm gonna shoot for, but it should be interesting.  What's your target pace?

I did 5:17 at High St and that's a flat, winding course with a slight uphill. I would love to break 5 mins in Londonderry, but I've been out of commision since Mill Cities with only 1 training run in that time. I would be happy with a PR, and even happier with a sub 5. I would be very disappointed if Fil kicks my ass, which is a very good possibility since he's still going strong.

 

See you on the 27th!

Holy crap. I was just hoping to get somewhere around my best 5K pace, I haven't really done any all-out anaerobic running. I was hoping for 5:45 but maybe that's too conservative. I really have no fricking idea, maybe I'll just try to hang with you and Fil for a while.

Sure doesn't hurt.  They had me listed as 37 years old with an AG placement of 14/48.  I feel a bit better knowing I should have been listed 12th out of 78 in the 40-49AG.  I wish I could have found Jason at the start, woulda done better with my speedy pace bunny buddy.

 

Fil ran a nice 5:15, he'll probably be kicking my ass at Good Times in the Spring.  For those who know Frankie Georges, he placed 5th in the 30-39 with a very impressive 4:44.

 

It's nice to come to a course distance marker a little over 60 seconds after the gun, I like timed miles.  This will definitely be on my calendar for next year, it was a blast.
