March 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

Thursday  through Monday

Pre-race; Thursday I walked for 40 minutes.   Friday I did not run

RACE; Saturday I ran 5K in 26:50 All systems felt good. The time was faster than I anticipated.  I was very happy with my performance.

Post- race; Sunday I rested and enjoyed my performance.  Also drove to Strawberry Festival.

Monday I ran 4 miles in 50+ minutes, still recovering.  Left foot a little tender in same spot that hurt after race in Freehold last spring.  Not as bad, but present nonetheless on today’ s run.  Icing a few times a day.

Note to self; on the run up to the Nationals two years ago I ran 33 minutes at the Lighthouse 5K coming off an injury. I believe that means I am in better condition approaching the Nationals this time than I was in 2015.  The goal was to get home in April prepared to do some serious training. I think I will accomplish that goal.

Stats – Stable
