Shoreline 5K Recap

I ran inaugural Shoreline 5K part of the Shoreline MultiSport Festival.

The Sprint Tri is one of the oldest in the nation. (Looking forward to competing in the tri one day)

Another 5K! Before this summer I've run 2 races in 10 years! This summer alone I've run 4 and 5th will be in Sept!!!

It was a warm one! 80 degrees at 8am! Breeze off the Lake was great, but it was a lot of sun. It was also different because it was small only 111 runners. Nice change of pace from the crowded races.

Official time: 35:46 11:32 pace

67 place, 6 in my sex/age group out of seven :(

From my Nike+ Watch

MILE	TIME	AVG.PACE
1	9:16	9'16"/mi
2	21:08	11'52"/mi
3	34:23	13'15"/mi

Of course I went out to fast and heat slowed me down in miles 2-3. I did have fun doing it and PR'ed mile 1!

1st 5miler

This morning I ran my new longest run a 5 mile run. Did it in 1:01 avg pace 12:20.

Ran with nobo 10k group 11min pace group. Started out really strong keeping a constant 11/min pace. Until I hit the back to back hills mile 3 in Highland Park. So I dropped back a bit. Then right foot fell asleep(need new shoes) so I stopped took off my shoe at traffic light then walked a bit. Felt fine after that. It helped that the last mile plus was all downhill so felt like I could have kept going..

I know the peak of program is a 7miler so looking forward to that in the future!
