Notes

5k at Millikin invite. After getting here at 10:30 and the meet getting behind by over an hour, by the time we started warming up, I was so ready to just do something. It was around 45, sunny, and a 10 mph on the homestretch. They held us on the line for awhile because the starters were so slow. Got out well and came through the mile in 4:59 with Jamo, Matt, and a kid from Aurora. I led the first 6-7 laps into the wind just trying to keep the pace somewhat honest. Jamo took over and the Aurora kid went with him. They put a little gap on me while I put a little bit of a gap on Matt. I heard 9:56 at 2 miles, but I don't know how accurate that was. From 1600-1200 I started loosing it a bit, but Matt caught up to me and took a lap. That helped me stay focused and with 800 to go I knew I could stick. Matt and I caught Jamo with 300 to go and we both looked up at the clock with 200 go and we both saw 14:52 and we booked the last 200. We later realized that clock was wrong. We were probably closer to 15:05 at 3 miles. It was nice to PR and run a solid race under not the greatest circumstances, but I know there is more in the tank. I was looking for 15:20s today and I know I'm in shape to do that. 10k next week at Siena Heights. Matt and I plan to take a shot at sub-32:00 and the stud list. I believe I'm ready!
