Race Week!

I managed my long run last week - a really nice 11 miler.  Felt pretty beat at the end - but it was good to get some distance in training.  Unfortunately, I had to spend some time gardening (yes) at our rental house.  Needed to be done - but no time for a single run over last weekend.  Last run was more intervals last Tuesday: 2x400; 4x200 at mile pace.

The race rolled around on a great night last Thursday.  I felt pretty good heading in.  Race started real well - I hit the 800 at 2:52 - but didn't keep the pace - i think i was over 1:30 the next lap, and didn't close fast enough to make up the lost time: 5:50.  One second off of last year's pace.  Not bad, but was really hoping for better than that.
