part of me is grateful I didn't implode. Even though I know my indoor UAA 15:51 5k wasn't my capability, in this race I noticed my 15:50 5k split, thought "fuck indoor" and ran the 4th mile as my fastest mile split. I couldn't hold it, though, but still got under 32:00.

Running in 4th place behind 3 Lock Haven guys pulling me along for the first 4 miles, but they dropped me when they started descending sub-74 second laps, and I got passed by 3 other guys who were running 75-76s as I was running 77-78s, and I ended up 7th. I owe my race to Lock Haven.

my cardio/breathing was never a limiting factor, and I barely noticed my left hamstring or right hip during the race (courtesy of 800mg ibuprofen? maybe). surprisingly, the part of my body that was slowing me down was my lower back, probably from wearing my spikes for a 10k. I wanted to try them for the 10k distance before conference, and I guess I found out I need to wear my T6s for slightly more support for 10k's. we'll see though.

everyone ran fantastic today. Yavitt's 10:07 steeple debut, CK's 14:53 5k debut, all of the 1500/5k ladies running awesome. today was a blessing.
