I ran this 5k in 19:45. I feel pretty good about this run. I went out a little slow, about 6:25 for the first mile, but I was able to keep a really consistent pace. I was actually able to pick up my pace a little bit. 19:45 is about a 6:21 pace. I printed out a pace chart. It helps a lot. I feel good about this race, though. I went strong through out, I pushed with my caves more. My caves actually felt soreish afterwards. Unusual. Definitely a move in the right direction. I got sixth, also for our team. That makes me feel quite good, although not complacent. I'll keep working hard, improving. I'm still improving, still getting back to were I was and to where I never was. This was just one step. I need to keep pushing the intensity up a little bit each time I run. I get what I put in. Let's bring it on. This was definitely a move in the right direction. I think I can shoot for 6:05's at Molalla. I picked up my pace quite a bit at the mile when you were talking to me, Mr. Johnson. It was good. I tried to run smart at the beginning, but it was a little too slow. It felt conversational. This was a good run.
The funny thing is, the only difference between this exact same meet between this year and last year was my first mile. Last year, I ran my first mile in 5:45 and got 19:02. This year, I ran my first mile in 6:25 and got 19:45. That was about all it was.
