Daffodil Run

Penn Valley, CA

So long 25.

Hit 24:48 for 5k.  25 was a big barrier for me because in a 5k, breaking 25 means your runnin' 8 minute miles.  Anything under 10 means your runnin' and 8 minute miles means your gettining sorta fast.  Slowrunner77 broke the course recourd for the 5k today, so he now owns the 5K & 10K course records.  We celebrated with a Speedway Stout.

Bike Training

5:45 am Spinning Class @ St. Mary's.

Run Training

Yasso 800's

3:38/3:57/3:56/3:57

Best workout in five years!

I really dig this workout and though it's a tad early, I wanted to start throwing it in.  I plan on using it all summer for RnR Savannah.

Run Training

Regular Tuesday Lunchbreak run in Verdi.  I still feel sluggish -- I think from switching to NikeFree and Merrell True Gloves and the gale force wind in my grill didn't help.

Run Rocklin 5k

After a week of subpar training, Slowrunner77 and I cruised over to Rocklin to race.  I could tell from my warmup I was off but went at the gun.  I got it done but it was a race I'd like back.

Run Training

Tough day at the office.  I'm all jacked up from treadmill to the road for a hard race and struggled today.  Hard days make hard champions.

Nutrition Fuels Fitness 5k

After finding out Nevada City's Batwa Challenge got canceled, Slowrunner77 & I went over to Elk Grove for the Nutrition Fuels Fitness Race.  Slowrunner77 took 2nd in the 10k by a slight 3 seconds in 34:22 and I finished the 5k in 25:33.  I ended up running my fastest 5k since the comeback but walked at Mile 2 because I hadn't run 2 back-to-back sub-8:00 miles and got a little cautious.
