Sunday PM: No rest for the wicked

Had to double up this afternoon for my sins. The joys of shoe-horning a 5k series into the last weeks of a marathon program.

I was originally scheduled a 2 1/2 hour run today, but after discussion with SW this got busted up into the 5k race this morning (plus the 'warm' up and cool down), and two hours this afternoon.

I didn't want anything imaginative, just put the iPod and plod around. Schedule said 27k, so three laps of the Dog Run (Bay Run + Hawthorne Canal) it was, and I got down there at about 2:20pm. Far too fast through the first lap and managed to hold it together through the second, managing two laps in around 1:17:30 or so for around 4:18 or so. Last lap was a shocker in around 41, still 27k in 1:58:33 was fine at around 4:23 pace.

Pretty stuffed now, though. Legs are not too bad - Skins again.
