Notes
Well, I hit my goal of running a sub 24 5k, so I'm happy! I wasn't sure how today was going to go. My legs didn't feel fresh, I hadn't worked on any speed since...January?, and I just kept going back and forth in my head about how it might go. I'm happy with my negative splits. Of course, I would have been happier if the first mile had been a tad faster, but it took a little while for my legs to get used to the speed. By the time the last mile to 1/2 mile came I started to struggle with my breathing and gasping for air.The rest of the time I was able to get it under control pretty easily. I finished stronger than last year, but not like I did at my last two 1/2's. Knee and hip didn't give me any problems until afterwards. Then they started to ache.
