It's funny because my fastest 5K race is 22 seconds slower than this 5K training run (I was supposed to run 3 but I ran an extra .1 to make it a full 5K). This run was also mainly uphill. I'm curious to see what I can run in a real 5K race...but I guess it will have to wait until this summer when the 2 marathons are over.

Just for the heck of it I ran an extra .1 to make it a full 5K. It's funny because this is faster than my fastest 5K race and I could have gone much faster :-) Also, after mile 1, this run is all uphill about 100 elevation rise.

D.L. Moody once said that “If you partner with God, Make your plans big!” I encourage you today to make God your partner. Whatever your burden is that caused you to search for strength, give it up to him now. Do not let another minute go by without completely surrendering your burdens to Him. God wants to be your strength. Surrender to Him in your weakness and let Him show Himself strong.

How are you feeling with a little over a week to go? You sound like things are great:)

From I Just Run on Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 15:17:41 from 67.79.11.242

Physically I feel great...Mentally I'm a little scared. I've been training to run a 3:15, the race calculators say I should be able to do that or better but mentally I'm worried because I don't want to bomb. I'm thinking about pacing myself for a 3:25. If I can hit that time I will easily qualify for Boston and then when I run OKC 8 weeks later, I can go all out without any concerns. That's my game stratagy so far.

An uphill, 5k PR in a training run. You are killing it lately!

From flatlander on Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 15:03:14 from 76.31.26.153

The uphill part is huge, congratulations. Just don't get side-tracked by those siren 5Ks. Only the college guys get credit for running them! (Take it from a guy who runs a lot of them.)

Ha ha...good advice, thanks Flat!
