Notes
18:02 Naperville Turkey Trot tempo. Lined up decently far back so I jogged the first 200-300 meters before picking up the pace. Kept it easy the first mile and was pleasantly surprised when I hit the mile in 6:09. Sped up the second mile and enjoyed passing all the hobby joggers and kids who started way too fast. Had some banter with Nick and Tyler. Split: 5:49 for mile 2. Went hardish on mile 3, but only a hard tempo type effort not race. Hit the third mile in 5:27, but that marker was probably short, because it would make my last 172m really slow. Solid effort today, only 3 seconds slower than last year, and that was my 14th day back and a raceish effort and this was only my second day back and a tempo. If I kicked at the end I could have ran as fast as last year, but I didn't want to. 45th overall out of 7105 as well . Very pleasantly surprised I pulled this off without dying on my second day back running.
