Matanzas 5000 tomorrow morning
The Matanzas 5000 is the fastest 5k in the area. The weather should be perfect. . .nice and cold. I am anxious to see how I do. My hip is still bugging me, and my long runs aren’t as fast as they used to be. This is mainly because I am following a training plan by Joe Friel that forces me to keep my heart rate low on long runs to build aerobic endurance. I am still doing speed work once a week, but with the really slow long runs, I’m a bit cynical. After the race James and I (and possibly Josh and Erin) are going to ride our bikes home. Should be about a 50–mile ride.
