Those are my splits for the 5-K today. Not too shabby if I do say so myself! Definitely a breath of fresh air after the stinky performance at the marathon.. sheesh! This lady started talking to me after mile 1 and in the midst of our conversation our pace slowed a little bit. After the 2nd mile marker we vowed to pick up the pace and 4 min. into it she was suckin wind hardcore as I was about to take it up another notch! She motioned me ahead and I hammered it home. My very first official 5-K.

Pretty good run today! My left arch muscles were hurting early on, then it changed to my right achilles tendon. Guess that's what happens when you run 8 miles in 3 weeks! I wish these arches would quit hurting... Anyway, we ran on Mopac East which- *gasp* has mile markers! They kinda sneak up on you; they're just railroad ties about 2ft high stuck into the ground with a little placard on them. But they had 'em! So we ran a mile, I split it, then we went 4:59 [was supposed to be 4:50 based on our first lap time, but I missed it] and turned around. Not sure on how far we went so I just assumed it was a half-mile. Shortly after turning around Brynn was having a gut-check so we stopped and walked a little bit before HAMMERING it home in 9:06! Felt purty good, especially with the extremely low volume as of late.

Slept on my right shoulder last night and woke up with some serious pain-age. Didn't feel good at all. Did my best to stretch it out REALLY well during my warm-up. Stretched, did a lap, stretched, did a lap... 4 laps total stretching/swimming. Then went into my set. I wanted to do 3x500 but my left big toe cramped up big time during my last lap-and-a-half so I had to quit it 3 laps early. Didn't do much for my arch either, all things considered. Okay one of the cats just pooped and it STINKS, and I'm probably 20-feet and two rooms away from it! Blech.

Felt okay during the first set. Was going to do a second set of hopefully another 1,000 yards but it just wasn't going to happen today. Back at it tomorrow I guess.

Distance is an estimate. Nobody thinks we should know how far we've gone on the trails in Lincoln, apparently. We can pour thousands of dollars into media to announce the new athletic director for the University, but to mark even every mile along the trail is simply too much to ask.

Workout felt really good. Probably helped that I could draft a little bit during because there were 3 of us in a lane! Got pretty hectic but thankfully the other guys kept stopping at the ends and that allowed me to push on ahead of them. They were doing drill type stuff with kickboards so I kept passing them.
