Out of shape? Apparently not a problem.

Saturday was a productive day, starting with a new 5 mile PR. I ran the Fred Lebow Classic on a very cold morning yesterday. For the first couple miles, my leg muscles were very tight, which could have been due to the cold. Things started loosening up and I ended up running fairly well, although I was hurting. My splits were:

6:51 (mostly uphill)
6:36 (mostly downhill)
6:45
6:55 (big uphill at the end)
6:32 (flat and downhill)

I finished in 33:43, setting a new PR by 1 second. I crossed the finish line and promptly threw up.

After the race, I went over to Niketown to meet the group run and went out for an hour. After that, I hit the gym and lifted biceps and back before hitting the pool for a nice 30 minute swim. Finished off with about 15 minutes in the sauna and called it a day.

Not bad...
