Ran the USATFNE Track championships 5k at Harvard Indoor track. Did about 7 miles of warm up and cool down plus 3.1 miles of racing. Ran 15:54 good for 10th place. See race report for more details.

Total Miles: 56 miles

Overall a solid week. I missed one day of running which was not planned. But it was probably a good thing after a couple weeks over 70 miles. Also ran a decent 5k, which went a bit better than the 5 miler from last week. Making progress, but a long way to go still. USATFNE 10 mile championships next week.
