OKaYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY....after a shinsplint that I tried to "run through" resulting in knee pain and basically made me take a couple of months off, I am feeling good and am back and wiser.....go slow to go faster?    Got some new shoes too, I think the worn out Asics contrubuted to the shinsplint.  Running on Nike Lunerfly 2's....nice shoe!

I am looking for a nice LA area 5K about 30 days out (organized participation helps motivate me) and will be back in the swing of things with a long range goal of running my birth year in an organized 5K  i.e.  19:59.........but as I said I am wiser now and will go at this goal much more slowly that I was.  I have much room for improvement since my PB is currently 28:40....the 19:59 might take a couple of years to reach.

I think I will also start heart rate training to make sure I am getting the most out of my efforts....we'll see.  It's nice to be back.

Ruuning the Colonel Allensworth State Park 5K in Earlimart, CA on Saturday.  I have set a stretch goal to run it in 27:00 or less.....we shall see.  It should be cool, flat and fast.
