 (2 wu)

Total miles: 8.00
Total time: 55:08

Mid morning race, 53F, sunny and calm. 1.5M uphill section. 

Splits: 
 1)  8:37
 2)  9:30 
 3) 10:58 
 4)  8:09 
 5)  7:57 
 6)  8:15  

This was a very challenging course with a 1.5M uphill section starting at the 1.5M point.

I think that the 2M warm-up was excessive, and on top of the 7 mile slow run yesterday,
I was not fresh for the effort required for this course (600 feet of climbing).

Overall, pleased with the effort and kept a smart pace.

Long slow run, recovery from 10K last Saturday.

First real warm day of the season.

Legs felt a bit heavy at the start, but I kept a steady pace
and took a short water break at the turn around (3M point).

Picked up the pace a bit on the return leg, ~8:58 pace.

Long slow run, even though I am running a 5K tomorrow.
I decided that it was more important to get some miles in
than to have a fast race time.  Need to build endurance at
this point.

CT Race In The Park 5K New Britain

Total miles: 9.00

Race time: 23:58

Mid morning race, overcast and cool 52F. 

Slow warm-up, 30:00, ~3M, and warm-down, ~3M.

Splits: 

 1) 7:37 
 2) 7:48 
 3: 7:59 
 F) 23:58

Mostly flat course, started off at a good pace but slowed down as the race went on,
indicating that I need some endurance work.

However, did 3 miles for warm-up, and a fairly long run yesterday, so I was not
running on fresh legs.  Under the circumstances, I would say the time was good.
