Went out conservative in that race in 2016, didn't try to keep up with the fastest guys. I went out conservative in my last race, so going to push it for this one. It's a 0.5 mi turn around. So I should be able to at least hang with WHOEVER for 0.5 mi .. then just need to push hard after that.
Last mile race of the year so, no holding back.. Need to dig deep as fu*k. If I do, I should crush my official & estimated PR of 5:03.
Also in 2016, the day of, I wasn't feeling great:
I should be feeling way better for this race sooo.. good stuff.
Also one thing i'm going to do differently this time around, for my mile warmup, i'm going to actually RUN THE COURSE .. so that I get a bit more of a feel for it immediately before hand. So, walk to course, 1 mile light run, strides, half mile light run, strides, race.. So similar to my normal warmup on the track, but just do my 1 mile warmup doing the actual course.
I should have done that for the previous race.. would have given me a better sense of where I was towards the finish etc.

I've never run a race on 2 days complete rest................ so this should be interesting.

Quote
soreness = hamstrings slightly (left more-so), right foot/toes
aches = top of right foot/ankle from kicking that dog
injuries = 2 toenails black, left shoulder moderate
