This morning I ran intervals, 12 x 400 meters (jogging 300 meters between each to recover). I averaged just over 86 seconds per 400 meters. That's approximately a 5:45/mile pace. And I did that in rainy, humid, 69-degree weather.
This begs an obvious question. Somehow I am able to run fast during my speed workouts, and I am able to run consistently on my distance runs, but I can never put it all together on race day. Frustrating.
I plan to take another crack at 18:59 on Saturday in the Wetumpka 12 k's of Christmas (and 5k too). Needless to say, I will run the 5k race. I'll report back.
