This time last year, I couldn't walk. I broke both knees within 5 months of each other and my ortho surgeon wanted me to focus on being able to walk properly. One year later, I am not only walking, but "running" !
My friend introduced me to trail running. It took about 3 months of poking and prodding to get me to agree. This was my first week and I'm addicted. Ran 25 miles this week!
My first 5K is middle of August. My goal is to finish it :-)

If you did 25 miles this week, then the 5k should be no problem for you--best of luck and have a great time!

Dayum! 25 mi is some kind of proper mileage! Your next goal race is going to go well, unless something really bizarre happens (like food poisoning the night before - don't ask me how I know)
And dare I ask...what's next?

Consistently Slow
25 miles a week.Good job. Why are you doing intervals back to back to back with no rest day? To prevent injury your training probale needs to be more of a wavey line rather than parallel or diagonal. Take a look at zoom- zoom's log .

Run until the trail runs out.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff
