I normally do a long run on Saturdays, but I didn't today because I had the 10 mile race on Monday, and I was already at 22 miles for this week and I've been doing around 24-25 MPW lately.

I've got a small local 5K next Saturday, and so I ran the course for that race this morning. I had put the course on my Garmin and kept the Garmin on the course map the whole time, so I didn't monitor my pace except just to run at whatever felt like a (relatively) comfortable pace. It turns out the course is very hilly. The first half is mostly uphill and the second half is mostly down hill, though there are a couple of good uphills in the second half. And a good chunk of the second half is on unpaved trail.

I went a little farther than the 5K distance because I started and stopped at a slightly different place than they will next week.

Stats for this run:

Average pace - 10:21

Splits - 10:17, 10:18, 9:55, and 0.36 @ 11:55

Saucony Omni 6: 28.84

Sounds like a challenging course, but your splits look like you'll do well. Was that .36 at the end uphill? I hope that was the part that went farther than the course; I hate uphill finish lines! Good luck!

Yes, that last little bit at the end was up hill. I'm not sure exactly where the start and finish lines will be, so it was probably beyond the finish line, but there also tacking a 100M sprint on the end of the finish line that they're timing separately, so I'm not sure exactly where that will be. It will be interesting to see what happens on Saturday.
