I decided to get some mild speed work in last night in finall prep for my 5k Sat.  I headed to the track warmed up a little more than a mile and then did 8 x 400 with 1:30 min walk breaks.  I averaged 1:21 per 400m with my fastest repeat being 1:19 and my slowest 1:23 so I stayed pretty consistant.  I cooled down for a bit more than a mile and headed home feeling good and thinking maybe I might be able to salvage my 5K Sat. even though my training has been weak ever since SGM.

Total run 5miles.  Avg pace 8:07

Sorry I haven't been able to get to anyone's blog since retruning home.  I've been slammed at work and that is when I usually catch up on all the blogs.  I'm anxious to get back to reading all your reports though.

Great run Rhett!!! What race are you running on Saturday? I'm thinking about doing a turkey trot, but not sure which one to run.

Rhett....NICE speed work. I did speed work yesterday. I wish I was able to run them as fast as you. SWEET Workout and good luck on Saturday.

Yeah sounds like you will have a sweet 5k. What is your PR at 5k???

It's good to hear from you guys. Dale, I'm just doing a local Turkey Trot here in Havasu. Kemmy, Thanks, wish I were faster. Marc, My 5K PR is only 19:07. the only 5 K I ever do is this local one and the coarse is brutal. You drop like 700 feet on the way out and then turn around and run back up. I would like to go under 19 this time, but I really have not done any significant training since SGM. I would say 85% of my miles have been easy miles. I will be well rested though.
