Last night I did my second Wednesday night 5K race. This is a mid week race sponsored by my running club and as the weather was very nice we had a bigger turnout. Roughly 250 people showed up and it was a nice night for the run. I approach these Midweek races more as speedwork out rather than a true race for myself.
I did a 1.75 mile warm up (ran late and didn't have time to do a full warm up run) and then we started the race.My time was 20:30 or a 6:34 pace. I finished 12th overall and 4th in the age group.
I am not holding onto a decent pace still for my 5K times and just have to remain patient with attempting to go faster at this point. It will take time to get back to 5K shape.
Enjoy the day everyone.

Running a fast 5K is like cutting that perfect slice of cheesecake. Very fine lines.
Any mental exercises to help achieve that?

Hi!!! Sorry I was away for ages. wow...250 people is a lot for a weekday race. What IS your 5k shape anyways...you're so darn speedy.
So many races. I get confused. Every time I stop by there's some new race you ran "slow" at 20:xx. :)
A weekday race...fun...I might have to do the one coming up...hmm...you're getting slow, I might be able to catch you pretty soon if you keep those paces going! :)
