Ran a flat 5k in swampscott today. Managed 4th place at 6:14 pace. Got "chicked" in the last 100 yds for 3rd place with the family watching. Just nothing in my legs today. I think I am going to start taking the 5k more seriously- I have been getting consistent mileage but have lacked any speed work or other specific workouts that would get me in the low18 min range, which I think I am capable of running. I was pleased to see consistency in these splits and to see that I didn't fade like I had felt I was doing in the last 1/2 mile. Results
