18 felt relaxed and legs were not beat up at the end. New compression shorts felt good, maybe the reason my legs felt good through out the run and afterwards. Had planned on running at the beach but the the wind was to strong. Hopefully running on the create will not effect me later, my goal is to try and not run as much on the pavement during this training cycle.

57.5 last 7 days

Houston 1/2

Well it was a great 12.1 mile race. Note to self get to starting line earlier. First mile 7:25 got caught up in the crowd and had to weave in and out the first mile. Played catch up the rest of the race. Didn't want to try and make it up too fast so gradually started working the pace down. Knew i had to hit some low 6:30's at around mile 8 and 9 and try to hold it till the finish.
Mile 8 split 6:34
Mile 9 split 6:45 could not get going after the turn around, wind was stronger than i thought.
Mile 10 Split 6:35
Last 3.1 Avg 6:36
Ended up at 1:28:59 Officially.
6th AG 45-49
40 sec off PR was a positive race, my main goal was to finish feeling strong. Looking forward to spring races and Boston Training.

Next race Buffalo Wollow 6k Feb 6th.
