trail running 16:54 [2] 1.75 mi (9:40 / mi) +86ft 9:14 / mi

Went to the Northampton 5K XC race even though my legs were dead (could tell that walking around the course this morning, 80-10-1-3). Around the outside of the course to warm up, could barely do 10-minute/mile pace even with several stops. Almost got in the car and went home.

But started the race anyway. Legs were better for having warmed up, but still no energy.
So just a moderate pace for the first couple of miles, only breathing hard when it was uphill. Spent the second mile in the company of Tiffany, a 20-something blond, so that was OK, but at 2 miles she seemed to slow down a little. So I decided it was time to put out a little effort, and ran the third mile more vigorously. A minute slower than two weeks ago, but that's OK.
7:57, 7:57, 8:11, 48. Third mile is uphill.

And a slow mile after, very slow.
It may be time for a day off. Certainly feeling the lingering effects of Saturday's 24 miles.
