14.61 1:46:55 159/176 LH Track. I wondered last night if I would be able to do this 3x3mile @ MP, after bashing my bad (worse) knee into the corner of a bench. It felt as bad as it's ever been, but usually it is from over use (too much basketball or running) or maybe poor form, but this time from coming to a sudden stop against a piece of wood. I decided that maybe today was the day to do an all out 5k (which I can't really do, because subconsciously, I am a wimp). After the first one (with an utterly un-amazing time) I thought I would do another, then after that, I just kept going. All my track miles are run in the second lane. To keep it simple, I say 4 laps is a mile, but really 3.957 laps are a mile, so technically 12.267 laps are 3.1 miles. Today, each 5k consists of 2x4 laps + 4.25 laps + 5 steps (the 5 steps should be enough to take care of the .017 since I take approximately 300 steps around the 400+ meter track => 5/300 = .0166 - so close to .017). The first 2 miles are a little more than 1 each and the last 1.1 really are less than 1.1 but the total really is 3.1 miles Distance Time HR 1.875 15:39.2 135 wu 0.25 2:16.1 139 wu 1.0 6:45.9 166 1.0 6:49.1 170 1.1 7:08.6 172 - 1st 5k 20:43.6 0.50 4:38.1 150 Recovery 1.0 6:52.8 164 1.0 6:49.6 169 1.1 7:03.1 172 - 2nd 5k 20:45.5 0.5 4:19.5 152 Recovery 1.0 6:39.8 167 1.0 6:38.9 171 1.1 6:56.5 173 - 3rd 5k 20:15.2 0.31 2:46.6 159 cd 1.875 15:31.5 149 Not an amazing 5k time, but faster than my best 5k race!!!
