I finally got a day off from work and went for a afternoon run. It was cool/cold and windy.

The run started with a head wind and my shoes felt like they weighed 10lbs.each. I was having a hard time getting into the run and mentally I was just not into it.

At 2.5 miles I made a turn and finally got a tail wind and started to increase my pace. I started feeling good and wanted to finish strong.The run ended well and I'm really starting to feel like I am getting faster.(its about time!!) Here are the splits.

8:56 , 8:49 , 8:13 , 7:31 , and the last .33 was 6:32

Tomorrow I will do at least 7 miles.

Today I went for a long afternoon  run. The weather was clear with a light wind. My legs felt pretty good. I think that I am ready for my next 5k race Saturday.

Today I ran the All Saints Day 5k in Hartselle Al. The morning started off cool and calm. I ran a mile for a warm up and probably should have run more.This was the first time for this race and it was very well organized. Lots of friendly people and bunches of door prizes.

The race started and as usual I started a little to fast. It seems that I always have a good game plan but it falls apart when everyone takes off. I made it to the first mile marker but my garmin only showed .83?? Turns out that the first mile marker was marked wrong. The course is certified 3.1miles , just got their marks off. My first mile was 7:34.

The course had a lot of turns but mainly flat accept for a nice down hill in the second mile.I was a little gased in mile 2 and it only came in at 7:51 even with the hill. :(

The third mile made a loop back through the football stadium parking lot and then came back up the road where we started from. I was feeling a little better but was still trying to conserve energy for kick at the end. The third mile was 7:47.

The last .1 I sprinted with 2 other guys that I had passed at least three times during the race. I would pass them but could never pull away.The last .1 was at a 6:55/pace. I crossed the finish line at 23:52. Thats a new pr for me but I was not really satisfied with my time.Oh well, I'll train harder and maybe next time I will reach my goal.

Weight for this race was 192lbs.
