August 18, 2012 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: high 70s, not humid, sunny

Comments:
Alumni turnout was small, but the current team turnout was pretty good. I was unmotivated and didn't get out very fast. No warm-up beyond 2 minute interrupted jog and a strider. Went out even and loosened up a bit over the first mile passing a few team members. Ran the final 1.5 miles alone keeping an eye up ahead on Liam A. MIle mark was 6:12 and closed in 6:01. Never strained very hard, and didn't feel very motivated to hurt. Right knee was hurting on first mile, but pretty benign on the 2nd mile. Managed a kick on the parking lot which probably accounts for the negative split. Total time was 12:13. No cooldown, and I still feel jittery from that at 4:00pm. Basically the same pace I ran a month ago for 5km. I feel like I won't go any faster until I do some speed work and striders. Wore the yellow DS trainers which may have been a bad idea.
