Turn It Up!

If I want to improve my 5k speed, I need to turn it up!  I increased my mileage this week and ran all progression runs.  I was going to run Yasso 800's on June 1st, but John A. Phillips Park was closed because they sprayed pesticides!  Ugh!  I didn't feel comfortable running intervals through the busier streets of Old Bridge!

5/30 - Community Park, North Brunswick, Memorial Day 5k. Time - 19:17, place 7th overall and won my division (Masters 40 - 49).  Warm up included a 1.25 miles and a few strides.  Cool down was 0.65 mile.  Total Mileage = 5.0

5/31 - John A. Phillips Park (JAPP) - Easy 7-mile run in 51:57 (7:25 pace).  It was ward and humid, but I gotta get used to it if I"m want to run sub-19 5K's for the RVRR Summer Series!
