Notes
Way too warm for late Dec...not sure if that hurt or helped. Super windy, which I can say was certainly a hindrance. BUT, I somehow managed my best mile time ever and according to Mikey's watch I broke 5. I'll go with his time since he gave the "Go" command and stopped right as I crossed.
My watch read 5:00.09...so really just the smallest fraction, but the difference between beating my goal. Sadly Mikey didn't give it a try today due to some nagging pain around the heal bone / achilles tendon that really flared up today. I think he would have been at least a few seconds quicker than me.
The 20-25mph wind with some gusting made the backstretch very tough...I tried to use the front stretch to my advantage but felt rundown every lap after getting out of the wind. I've got my eye on 4:45 by the end of 2009.
HR peaked at 176 again like at last week's 5k.
