Notes
Was not even going to run today as my left IT band and hip had been twinging still. Kev called me and BRandon was racing, so I had to go give it a try. I went down and just decided to give it a go right off the bat. Kev was out hard as always and so was Plouffe. I caught back up to Steve by the first half mile, and just stayed with him. 5:30 with lots of hills through mile one. Then we went back and forth the rest of the race. There was one kid ahead of Kev and there was no catching either of them. I felt pretty good actually, like I was rested as I should have been. 5:20 through mile two right with Steve, then at 2.25 he made a big move right off of a turn and I could not go with him. I knew what he was doing too, oldest trick in the book, but I had no speed. Still figured I was running a decent time and I pushed home. The finish line snuck up on me, but I finished the last .96 in 5:13. Good solid race and according to the pace calculator it would have been a 16:55 5k so I am very happy with that. I made it through with out the hip being a big problem either. Sore after. Hope I can get the training in here as I am still in shape.
