This wasn't the goal race, which is next weekend....but ended up being a goal-race!  With my targeting a faster 5K and throwing in some Lydiard training techniques I knew there was a chance for me to break 18:30 for the first time since 5-years ago.  I managed that and also almost broke my PR from 7-years ago when I ran 18:08 at age 42.  Can't complain being 2-weeks from 50 and running within my PR time by 2-seconds!  

Race weather was ideal for me at around 45 degrees with S wind 5-8 mph.  Got in a good warmup and lined up with literally 1000s in attendance (counting fun runners).  I had all these plans to stay regimented on a specific pace, but ended up never looking at my watch until finished.  This race is very competitive and I ended up racing & in the last 2 kilometers decided the young kids I was running with had to be on sub 18 pace.  That is where I left a PR on the course by not pushing harder until too late.  

Typical of me is finishing hard and grabbing knees because can't breathe.  That didn't happen today.  So I am complaining to myself that I could have ran yesterday faster.  Hopefully I will get another chance in the ever changing Oklahoma weather & week-to-week nature of getting older.

Fun day with Court being out on the course jogging & taking pics as she continues her comeback from PF.  JB made it epic wearing his coonskin cap & breaking 17 off his State record marathon.  Having a ton of fast team OK Runners in this race made it known we are still the team to beat around this town.

8 am NHP: Lydiard 10 mile out-and-back; lower 30's; legs felt flat so did progression out; on way back tried to stay Steady State until last mile.  This solo run helped me realize me distance fitness is coming back around also!

10:15 am: Court hadn't got out for her LR yet, so met up with her for a double.  Glad she is coming back from her latest battle with PF.
