Goal today was 16:24 which was arbitrary but also a good goal for where I am. The process of getting faster is the process of being disappointed with increasingly faster times. The 5:22 I did on Wednesday proved prophetic as that was my pace here. Drove up with Collin to save one car with the bad air. Warmed up 2 and saw a bunch of guys. I thought top 20 was optimistic. My watch went off right before each mile marker. Splits were 5:14, 5:21, 5:26 and :39 for the last .13 on my watch. Sprinted at the end thanks to Andrea and Jake cheering me on. Much appreciated. Tells me I need to go faster a bit sooner. Still a good time and I am glad we had nice weather but I want to do better. Cooled down 2.
Afterward, I ran to the capitol to do some Boston video with Walter and crew. That ended up being another 5.75 miles for me total. The rally was kind of funny. There was one crazy chick singing this air is your air and trying in vain to get the crowd into it.
Weighed in at 165 today which is a pound lower than St George. Been taking care of myself in 2014.
