Captains log 05272013

It has been 8 days since I have posted, and 8 days since I have run.  I felt terrible about it.  I knew I should with my first 10k coming up but just could not find the motivation after running the Colfax leg.  I have also started a large back yard project and have spent the better part of the past week working on it during my time off in the mornings before work.

Today was THE Bolder Boulder 10k.  It is a well known race and I was bib MG579.  I went into the race with a goal of a sub 70 minute result, and ended up with this:

mile 1:

11:19.32 

mile 2:

11:09.30 

mile 3:

12:03.69 

mile 4:

11:51.53 

mile 5:

11:10.19 

mile 6:

11:17.44 

net time:

1:11:15.80 

pace:

11:29  

I feel really good about it even though I missed my mark by a stinking 1:16!!!  I really wanted to qualify for a 60-70 wave for next year, but I will have to find a qualifier for later this year to attain that goal I guess.

We will see!!
