Noooo.....My 5K progression streak has sadly ended. Splits were 7:24, 8:26 and 8:13. I started too fast. I think I finished 3rd out of about 15-20 people...I held the lead for part of the race! Very unofficial race, I am not sure if the mailbox was the finish or the turn into the beach, but a race is a race. I got my feet wet in the plunge but it was too cold for me to try to dip my head or the rest of my body in. My prior 5K time still stands as my PR.

I guess its not the end of the world I ran my 5K slow as I recovered in time to run with the running group and the Saucony rep. I tried the Triumph shoes and while they fit snug I liked my New Balances better. I think they were geared for mid foot runners more as well.

Weather.com said it was 25 degrees out and it felt like 13 but I was snug. I am not a fan of Saucony shoes (or any non New Balance) but I like their jackets!

A bit depressing as I saw the site of the recent Stamford fire.  I left a small toy in the shrine.  I have this route a few times before, its nice, not a lot of traffic and a nice view of the Long Island sound but its kinda of a long boring road.

Ok pace and it wasn't too cold out but I felt I couldn't breath as well I normally do...not sure why, normally I have that problem only when its really cold.

My heart was not in this run today.  I also didn't fuel so that probably made the situation worse.  I haven't run 10+ miles in almost a month.  On the bright side this puts me close to 40 miles for the week, which is the most since October.  Looking forward to yoga Sunday.
