X-train day, then steady run up Cadillac mnt.

41 minutes on bike trainer on Sunday. 

Monday I said screw it, rest wasn't helping leg.

Decided to at least get a good steady effort in.  Best way to do that is run up Cadillac mnt. From Ledgelawn.  Starts pretty gradual, then gets steeper.

Goal was to run sub 50 to store on top.  49 low, so pretty surprised.  Ran back to blue hill overlook where my dad was waiting to pick me up.  7.7 miles total, 6:50 avg. Pace

Day off, failed run, race

Took another day off.

Tried to run on Friday, made it about 5 steps, too much pain, stopped.

Saturday I got out of work at 7am, had some food, headed over to Sea of Blue 5-k.

Warmed up 5-k.  Leg was hurting pretty good.  As long as I kept moving it was manageable.

Goal for 5-k was to run 5:30 pace.  First mile was downhill so I ran 5:15.  Second mile rolled and I hit 5:29.

Last mile starts uphill for first 3/4 of it.  All I needed to do was be at 5:45, ran 5:42.

Last .10 was closer to .16 and took me 48 seconds, so a sub 17:00 effort turned into 17:15.

Didn't cooldown, just walked around a bit. 

Plan is to try and get leg better this week, race another 5-k next week and another one week after that.
