Feeling confident about the 100% Irish for a day 5k coming up on the 13th, interval training went well tonight. Ran 8 800's at 2 minute pace with 2 minutes of jogging at 10 minute mile pace, the warm up and cool down took me to just under 4.5 miles in 41 minutes. Like usual it took me 20 minutes to warm up and feel great while running. Not sure how I'll get warm considering this is a outdoor 5k in Minneapolis, I know I'll use mile 1 as part of it. This will be the first organized race of any kind in my life so experienced track and cc runners I'll take any advice you have. Tomorrow I'm doing 5-6 easy miles, Friday off, and 6 miles on Saturday. Have a good night all.
