Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and break.
Over the break I ran the Turkey Day 5k with teammate Zach “Mad at Brandon for not giving him a shout-out in the last post” Edinburgh. Despite starting the race a few minutes late and weaving through the mass of runners, we still managed to run a solid time of 26:00.
On Sunday I had my last “hard” workout before the race (the first few 400s at race pace and then dropping the pace a 1-2 seconds for each set). I ran the workout with Kieran Kelly who was fresh off of his week off and still survived running most of the nine 400s. Unfortunately we do not have a picture of Kieran doing his best Sonic the Hedgehog impersonation.
Today I ran 7 easy miles with the Chanhassen guys. As for workouts for the rest of the week, I get to run a few faster than race pace 200s on Wednesday and just keep the miles up until the race. I look forward to running with Josh at the Nike campus on Thursday as well as running the race course on Friday.
Special thanks to Run N Fun and Nike for hosting the get together for all the NXN Qualifiers!
