4 miles this beautiful morning. Had a decent pace. Thinking about a 5K on 10/4 and I'm not well trained for it so halfway through mile 3 I decided to pick it up for a while. My watch is only pace per mile, not current pace, so not sure what I was hitting but I brought it from 7:45 to 7:05 so I was moving. After hitting mile 3 the pace reset and at one point was at 6:05 so I guess I was moving quicker than I thought, but a slight downhill so not that impressive. Not long after I hit the brakes and coasted in for my last mile. Overall, my fitness is nowhere near PR for a 5K but I think I can be just slightly over 20 minutes. I hope.

AP: 8:04

Noon: Boot Camp. I need to step it up in all aspects of my fitness so I hit BC for the 2nd time this week. The soreness should last me a while as my quads are still very sore from Monday.

Cascadia 9 Miles: 4.00

Hopefully the 5k course will be a little short...that's always a good boost in PR efforts.

Totally kidding, but I bet you'll break it. Just don't tear off a super fast 1st mile. You definitely want to have progressive splits.
