Spinoff: What’s your 3 or 5 mile time right now?

Do you mean best or average?

Best: 21:30 and 40

Average: 26-27 and 43-4

My current goals are sub 22 5k, sub 50 10k.

24:57 is the last time I clocked a 3 mile run (been sub 24, in the past, but dont have any specific timed events). 5 mile is at 42:30 right now.

Did PR for a half marathon today at 1:58 . Not exactly blazing, but its pretty funny how my 5k pace isnt super far off of my half marathon (within 40 or so seconds and I could probably knock a minute or two off that half as I played the beginning very conservatively)

I did 2:09 my first half and it pissed me off. After 3 attempts (2 not races) I finally beat 2 hours and it’s one of my favorite accomplishments.

I run one a month for the Strava challenge and I find that the monkey gets on my back a little later every month.

I’d like to eventually work my way to a full marathon but it’s gonna take some time.

I'm planning on doing the Missoula, MT full in July. I've done that half 3 times. I've never done a full of any sort.

My closest was something really (really) dumb: last Missoula half (July 9), I had just started running (in June) for the first time in two years and had just finished 6 months of chemo (on Juneteenth). This is totally idiotic thinking, but the day before the race, I "wanted to make sure I could do it," so I ran 14 miles and it got very hot the last 5 (like 98 degrees).

Took a nap afterward and woke up vomiting clear...something. Probably the last pint of water + bile.

Then I ran the half the next day in just under 2. Felt fine somehow, but that was very dangerous and I'm lucky I didn't f myself up.

Moral of the story (besides I'm not too wise): I think I can do a full with proper training including PTing my a-hole knee. I might do something like the Galloway method.

CSB:I actually met him in Missoula--crashed his 70th bday party at the hotel bar where we always do happy hour. He gave me a shout out for my ancient Peachtree Road Race shirt. Cool dude.

Damn, that’s harsh luck.

Be careful this next skiing trip

3 mile around 25 min. 5 mile probably 45 ish don't know have only really ran 6 miles twice.

Just did 5 miles - 47:50. I had to stop and walk about 1/8 mile due to pain in my achilles. I think I could have cranked out 45 minutes.

I hate being slow.

My 5k PR from last year was 21:36 so probably 21 flat or so on 3 miles even

Ran the Rock n Roll half yesterday and my first 5 miles were right at 38:45. So if just doing 5 probably be around 38 or little faster probably

If I were to go full out for 3 miles, I could hit sub 25. I'm usually more relaxed when I'm just jogging and maintain a 9:30 pace.
