020809 - 5K Time Trial

I had marching orders to deviate from my plan and do a 5K run on Sunday morning.  I was told to run as hard as I could, so I went down to Haynes Point for a 3.2 mile run.  I warmed up and realized the bike workout from the day before was still lingering in the legs.  I stretched out well, started the HR monitor and kicked it into high gear.  I was very psyched to see that I was able to finish the 5K in 22:12.  My HR average was 172 and I hate to say this, but I know I could have kept running after I finished.  This was my personal best and I have to say I am shocked that I can run that fast on tired legs.  I have had total confidence in Max from the start, but after this run and speaking to him Sunday evening, I am really excited about my progress and confident that I am well on my way to Ironman CDA!
