Great job Ducks Fan. 
Sounds like the pacing strategy you used in your workout would be a good one for your next race. It is always tough when you go out too fast.

I always say I'm going to go out slow, but it's really hard not to get caught up in the excitement. Also, it hurts my ego when 8 year olds are ahead of me for even a few seconds.
My next race might be a three miler in about four weeks. If not that, I may do the Shamrock run in Portland in March. It would be pretty cool to run with over a thousand people. That would sure get the juices flowing. |

Some people were started early and the times got screwed up as a result. I think they have them sorted out now.

I was unable to run the three days prior to the race because of a sore IT band that I didn't want to destroy. It felt good on race day, but those three days off hurt me. I went out in 6:10, which was about 30 seconds faster than I wanted to go out in. I know I am in about 39:30 shape based on a workout I had a few weeks ago. The first mile was in 6:45 and each successive mile was about ten seconds faster than the previous one, with the final mile in 5:50. I ended up covering the 8.1k course in 31:40.
So it's been a pretty good start to the new year for me. I still want to break the elusive 5:00 barrier and would like to go sub 10 and sub 18 as well. All I have to do is stay healthy... |
___I wish that I would be able to run 10 K without getting mental fatigue and, most of all, at this pace. Congratulations.

Thanks. If it makes you feel better, I wasn't able to jog my time; the race was utter hell. I got a massive side ache with about a mile to go and it stayed with me for a good minute. That was the most pain I've ever felt in a race.

Great effort!! Your 5K could very well be sub 19 now.
Shamrock is quite the race. I ran 2 years ago, missed last year because of my foot injury. I plan on it this year. After a steady climb and rolling hills for the 1st two-thirds of the race, it ends with a mild downhill finish for the final 3 miles. You can really gather up some steam.

Are you talking one mile races on the road or on the track? There are a few out there - I think Shore Ac Sposors a whole series in the summer

Good to see you're still around here! A few weeks ago I did a 4k around Willamette's track in 14:23, which I think is worth around 18:20. As I said, I knew I was stronger than 40:48.
How are the 5k and 8k courses? Are they hilly too? I'll either do the 5 or 8. My last 15 caused me to miss about five months, so I'll stick to the shorter ones. Which one do you plan on doing?

| Wow, it sounds like your fitness is really improving Will. And judging by your 4k time trial it looks like you have the ability to go well under 40 for 10k. |

I'd like to join ya but it looks like I have two months of no running. Same problem as last year, only this time it's the left knee.
