| PM - 18 miles on the treadmill today - I had recorded the Olympic marathon during church - and then avoided any newfeeds until I could watch it and get my long run in.

| AM - 3.25 miles early in the dark on the golf course with Finn before work.
PM - lunchtime workout - outside 7 x 400 at 5k pace with a 400 rest. Used the Garmin workout feature - only had planned to run 6 x 400 but I lost count. Warm outside, but a solid effort. First couple of reps were slow and awkward-feeling, but the middle few were better.
Looking on the Garmin Connect site for the data - it give you options to identify the type of activity, e.g. running, cycling etc. but one of the categories is "Wingsuit Flying". Interesting. Wonder how often that comes up.

| PM - 5 miles very easy on the treadmill at lunchtime due to an unpredicted thunderstorm. Listened to part of a podcast with Scott Douglas - editor at Runner's World.

| Nice after-work race in downtown Alpharetta - with a food truck event as well. Had a decent race tonight. Not that the time sounds fast, but going into this 5k I looked at my time at the Des News half a few weeks ago and plugged that time into Daniel's tables and also McMillan's predictor - and they showed a predicted 7:02 pace and 6:58 pace respectively - and as it turns out - I ran just a little bit better than that 6:54 per mile on a fairly hilly course. Also, Daniels said I should avg 170 HR - which is exactly what my Garmin recorded. So I was pleased with that.
I am having a somewhat difficult time re-calibrating my expectations of times/pace (not sure if over age 50 this is where I am - or post-lengthy injury battles over the last 1.5 years, it will just be a slow progression to faster times).
Splits were 6:32, 7:09 and 6:58. Middle mile was mostly uphill.
Good competitve feeling in the race too. I was never passed by anyone I did not eventually overtake - and I finished strong.
Riley was working at South Main Kitchen - and Tracy and Bradlea met me there after the race for a food truck dinner (Philly cheesesteak...mmm).
Great evening overall.
