Less than a week to go before the Urbanathlon. Still feeling Michael in my hamstrings and doing a lot of stretching to relieve that. As a pacing run, I did a 5K on Friday at the McCarren track. First time running a 5K on a track, especially one filled with the children of intermural soccer players. Good pacing for the upcoming race, as I got a feel for a 6:15 mile, 7 min mile and 8 min mile. Did a warm up mile, run to track (.75 mile), 5K in 21:02, run back to Box, run home (2.5 mi.). Felt good to go middle distance, even if it was broken up.
Saturday was spent studying for my PADI Open water diving cert (SCUBA) with some other BS. Also bought new training shoes, which pissed me off to spend $60, but I will use them a lot. Sunday was a 15 mile bike ride and hanging out with friends. Good stuff and I am ready to begin the taper this week to the race. Crossing fingers for good weather.
