Notes
Toluca Double Diamond Dash 5k at 8:00 AM. Ran well. My first mile was 7:14. The second mile mark was 15:14. I even outkicked two runners at the finish.
The slower training seems to be working. I was pleased with this run.
I still had some sciatica pain, but pushed through it. I slowed in the second and third mile, but picked up the tempo toward the end to run a 7:50 pace over the last 1.1 miles.
Still out of the top three of my age group.
