That is a fantastic time Aussie !
Well done.... or is the term Brilliant ?
Happy Camper
5k road race this morning. Better run for me this weekend. Think it might be the tightest splits I've ever pulled off in a 5k.
Self-timed results. Race was chip timed and course is certified. PR is 22:07. 2nd fastest 5k I've raced and the best time on a certified course. It really has me happier about the training this Winter and how the 1/2 could go next weekend.
Determination: The feeling you get right before you try something incredibly stupid.
hold on a second now, are you teasing my Australian-ness? I've been in the States for about 7 years now, so my accent is more broken-Australian than anything else, just enough slang left in me to entertain my peers when a word they've never heard of accidentally slips out. Grr, IE9 doesn't let you press Enter, so one thought will roll into the next. I did an interesting 10 miles yesterday with varying but planned times and speeds, and I'm not even sure what the pace was I just have my treadmill speed recorded. It starts out with 7 minute intervals and gets down to 3-something but with a faster time, and I've never actually made it through all 8 sets, so there's a first. I went out with 7 others this morning that run a slower pace, but left them after I did 12, they were doing 18 and 22 today and my legs were really dead today. I think it's good to run on dead legs although these chubby things I'm sitting on right now are disagreeing. Have a great day all.

wow look at you, well done! Good luck next weekend, keep us updated.
Nice race, P2R!
I also raced this morning, a 5 miler on a slightly hilly and windy course.
This data is straight out of the garmin. Assuming the course was actually 5 miles, my overall pace was really 7:13

oops, accidentally double posted
A couple of nice races in here! Nice job on the fast 5k, P2R, that's a great time.
And Lou! I didn't realize you were racing this weekend. Is National next weekend? Nice 5 mile time for you.
5.1 miles for me today, plan was easy... end result was a mixed bag. Started out in the 8:40's and ended up in the 8:teens and low 20's. Oh well. Felt good, and we're starting to get some melting action so maybe the damn ice will be on it's way out!
Got 2-seconds back with the chip timing. Posted result is 22:28.

And super moon tonight, or so some site says. Off to take a look at it. Was tired from running this morning -- did the runs legs of a duathlon we put on (but took them easy), then in the middle, whilst competitors out cycling, ran fast w DW.
PS: Amazingly even splits -- esp 7:16.32 & 7:16.82
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Tired legs from yesterday, but was able to hold a decent pace on this, my last 20 miler for the cycle.

IE9?
when my paragraphs don't show up (this happens sometimes in chrome, too), I put an empty space between them. Meaning I hit carriage return, space, carriage return, to get the vertical spacing I want.
Kim - national is a tune-up race for boston
3 recovery miles for me this morning. I was thinking as I came in to work that it's ok for my legs to be tired, since I've run 38 miles since Friday, including a 5 mile race.
Of course, I think I knew that.
