22:35 for my 5k. First mile was alright and then I crashed. Second half was into the wind and pretty rough. My legs felt decent but I was just gasping for air. Ugh. The splits tell the story.

I think I over-estimated my fitness a little because I was secretly hoping to run 7's. Oh well. I did get 2nd in my AG though.
Roll: I wasn't being disapproving of snapping photos whilst driving 60+mph, just commenting.
i know bud. Just having fun with it. dugout original comment had my laughing pretty hard.
MDawg - I didnt see any of it but I am sure my cousins and Aunts and Uncles were there. I heard reports of 2 million people. Seems a bit high.

Congrats on the placement!! I pretty much seem to crash on all my 5ks! I think racing a 5K is an art form that we haven't quite mastered!

You snuck in while I was typing. Congrats in the the 2nd in AG. Smokin'!!!

Ami: That's fantastic!
onemile: Congrats!! I also haven't gotten 5K pacing down, but then again I only actually race one or two per year. I usually run them like you did: go out hard and try to hold on. And congrats on the AG place!
MA: Hi! Nice week!
Cbus: My sample size with Hansons LRs is exactly one, the one I ran this morning. I did think it was tough. My legs were basically fine until the last mile or so (when I had to climb my hill), but I was feeling a bit winded at about mile 6. But some of it probably can be chalked up to suffocating humidity, which meant that my effort level was probably 10-20 seconds per mile faster than I actually was running. Right now, I feel like I do after a 16+ LR.
Roll: I was feeling a bit punchy last week.
M: 3:31:56
HM: 1:37:33
Thanks guys. I am usually ok at pacing so this was a new experience haha.
Oh and Cbus, I thought the Hansons LR pace felt like MP when I started the plan. I always worried about how I was going to hit the pace and sometimes it was a little bit of an effort. But I found about half way through the plan, suddenly it started feeling like easy pace. So, hang in there. And yes, it sometimes will feel hard.

Great news, Ami!
Hi Donuts!! I am so happy right now I could cry....just ran 3.01 miles with no pain and it felt fantastic!! Average 8:47/mile which is probably a bit fast but it just felt easy! I know I have to ease back into it, but at least it's a start!! I'm sorry I don't have time for personals but the kiddos are calling! Sprinkles: I easily eat between 1800-2000 callmaintains and I agree, you need at least 1800! Onemile: Kick ass! Everyone else: Great running...will catch up later.

Still, a strong effort. Congrats on the AG!
Smashy!!!
Onemile, like DR said: still a great race. Where does this race stand in terms of 5ks? PR? Because, I think, even if it goes kablooey, it can still give you a read on your fitness. As far as, LR pace, you hit it on the head: it feels like MP! Today was much better than last week. But I still think its the toughest workout--so far, at least.

Amik - Great News!! Ease into it and Happy Running! Go ahead and cry if your happy!
Onemile - Congrats on the time and the AG! Was that a PR? I am so envious that you got to run a good 5K. I will miss my race next week.
Nice running all of you.
Went ahead and did a 70 mile bike ride today and had a good time. Tackling the hills on the 10 mile home stretch was a bit of a bear, but all in all it was a nice ride. I will have to evaluate whether or not I will be able to wake up and try a few miles on the dreadmill in the morning. My legs are feeling pretty hammered at the moment. But, I would really like to see if I can do a few miles without the injury flaring up.
PRs...5K - 20:36, 4mile - 26:15, 13.1 - 1:32, 26.2 - 3:42
Just Run!!!
According to her log, it was a PR!
It was an 11 second PR Not exactly what I was hoping for but... what can you do. I'm sorta looking forward to starting my Hansons speedwork in a week. My indoor track just got a remodel and I'm anxious to check it out. Oh and I'm thinking I better stick to the 3:35 paces. For a second I thought maybe I could pull off the 3:30 but I don't think I'm there yet.
Cbus, Hopefully you'll find, as I did, that magically your legs get stronger somewhere about half way through and suddenly the LR pace is easy.
Indi - 70 miles on the bike? Damn. Good luck on the test run. I'm crossing my fingers for ya.
I got week 1 of my training and I'm happy! Looking forward to receiving the rest tomorrow!
Docket - Is your coach teasing you!?
One mile - you're a speed demon !!!!! nice race - that is fast !
Ami - glad you are feeling better during your run !
Sprinkles - wow - you are fast too !! nice LR
Indy - 70 miles on a bike ! If I rode that far, it wouldn't be my legs that hurt - lol ! i'm assuming you have special riding pants?
