What a difference 2 hours make
Exercise: At 8:30AM (instead of my usual 6-6:30 AM start), I met Rob and Kathy Y., Blake T., and Eric Charette up on Monte Sano for a long run (for me anyways). Wound up doing 10.54 miles (with some walking included). Lost 6 pounds - very dehydrated to the point of cramps. I didn't bring enough liquids with me (my little 20 ounce bottle didn't last long). Plus the fact that these four have all run ultra marathons (Rob has run over 100 of them including some 100 mile races!).
First time in a while that I was the weak link in the chain. Makes me realize I need to be putting in more miles.
Total mileage for the week: 16.24
Total mileage for the month : 116.61

If you really want to hit some fast 5k times, I would suggest some longer tempo runs (maybe 5-6 miles), about 35-40 miles a week total (or more) and a long run of 10-12 miles a week. All of this together will lead to better fitness and better ability to hold the pace for your sub 19 5k.
Don't worry about today, I have bad days too; they are always followed by better days.
Thanks, Eric. Do they run from Rob's house every Sunday at 8:30?
