Newest cadets were doing a 5k today so I decided to run a couple miles and warm-up and then join them. The Sgt. in charge decided to start them a couple minutes early and I saw them in the distance (.5 mile) ahead of me. Lit a fire and I passed the 3 girls way early on and the next male soon after. I had 2 more within 50 yards the last mile, and narrowed down to probably 25 feet, but didn't quite catch them. My Garmin battery was dead so I have no clue what my time was since I didn't start with them. I'm guessing around 24ish. I do like to go by feel and today during the 5k I felt like my effort was around 65-70%...I don't want to push too hard having to pace on Saturday. Afterwards, I ran the 1/2 mile out and back 4 times with another class.
I really like working out with the cadets. It brings out my competitive side and I definitely push harder.
Did some pull-ups when I got back to the gym and stretched really good. |
