ReCreation 5K
Exercise: Did the HTC ReCreation 5K in South Huntsville today. Did a 0.8 mile warmup, then the 5K for 3.9 miles total. Finished 9th out of 271 overall and 1st in my age group out of 24 (because overall master winner was thrown out of the age group awards). Time was a little off from last year, but not too disappointed as I've been having my back trouble and not training as I should.
Ran 19:28. Tried to make sure I didn't go out too fast in the first mile as I've been fading late in the race. Seemed to work better, as my mile splits were pretty consistent:
1: 6:10
2: 6:17
3: 6:15
0.1 : 0:43 (5:37 pace)
Total mileage for week: 3.9

A little speedwork & then some
Exercise: Since my back was still a little too stiff to run the River City 10K this AM, I decided to go to UAH and do a couple of fast(?) miles just to see where I stand after having not been able to do much speedwork since the McKay Hollow 1/2 marathon three weeks ago. After a very short warmup, I did 2x1 mile with a 5:30 jog in between. Mile 1 was 6:07, mile 2 was 6:05. Not blistering fast, but my back was still a little stiff, preventing me from achieving full stride length. I'm going to use this as a baseline and hopefully progress to two or three sub 5:50 intervals before Cotton Row 10K in 6.5 weeks.
Afternoon: did 3.75 on the treadmill (41 minutes, 510 calories)
Mileage for week : 6.75

No race for me :(
Exercise: Went to run the HTC Scholarship Fund Run 8K this AM, but my back was so stiff that I couldn't run with a normal stride. Packed it in and went to UAH and did 40 minutes on the Precor (4.04 miles, 475 calories) and 20 minutes on the stationary bike.

Thursday/Friday prep for 8K Fund Run
Exercise: (Th) Not a good day - on the way to basketball a stoned driver with no license and no insurance ran into the side of my Mustang. Car is still drivable but has a creased fender, and two bent wheels where he forced me up on the curb. Then, I retweaked my back at basketball going after a loose ball. Only played 1 game full court. Hopefully it will be healed enough to run in the HTC Scholarship Fun 8K run on Saturday.
