Hefner Solo Steady State; cold; started w/minimal wu...just .4 run and drills; headed into wind for first 3 miles as it was NNW 11-16; WC 23.  Felt the grind early on and finishing up into some wind.  Didn't want to push harder to stay on pace for another 1.5 miles into wind so did jog/striders back to truck.  Frozen.  Also now have this cough....

- Raced in older pair of Adios 3; Lake Hefner, OKC, 9am

A week ago I had planned on this being a sub-18 race in my first 5K at age 50.  But I started developing a cold (coughing/drainage) on Monday which is still affecting my breathing; also I have never breathed that well in frigid weather w/asthma.  Then the weather was brutal with 29 degrees at gun and N 20-30 mph wind.  We took off and I tried to be strong and hang with our group of 4 (JB, IC, and BL) but at the 1/2 mile mark felt like my breathing was red-lining.  I backed off a little, which caused me to be gapped right when we had the mile straight into the wind.  I felt like it was an up-a-mountain mile and my pace slowed to match.  

When we finally hit the turning point I was way back from JB-pacer and even fairly distant from IC.  I knew my goals were shot and tried to run hard, but probably didn't get the best out of myself knowing this (but also I was trying to recover from the wind-mile).  I hit the back-into-the-wind .3 mile finish and gave it my all, but couldn't manage to break 19.  I didn't really know what time I was at, never looking at my watch the entire run.  I know I have had a good fall for my 5K efforts and today wasn't really a show-up of my training.  But it was still fun to be out with friends and also hit up Pop's for breakfast afterward!  On to Houston....
