easier PR objectives achieved.

first sub 18 5k (17:55 official / 5:46 min/mi, 17:50 watch / 5:45 min/mi) .. 2 mile PR (11:19 -1s lmfao).

cooper's test (2.11 miles) in 12 minutes (5:41 min/mi).

5 km minus 3 mi = 1s speed up over the last 0.1 mi !! So, 5:46 min/mi pace for 3 mi, 5:45 min/mi pace for 0.1 mi.. lol. Had a nice sprint at the end.

3 km @ 10:30 / 5:38 min/mi.

~30 total. 10 of that was trying to get my gatorade at mile 23, took forever. Another 5 for the other gatorade at mile 15. Then several traffic stops and maybe ~5-7 minutes for the bathroom break at mile ~10. Also a few (~3 or so minutes) for a few photos.

pc!

thanks alot man!

ya sometimes i just get annoyed of something and try to do it. happy I did it though. i'd like to get good at half/full distance. I mean it's much slower pace (for mortals), just for so much longer. I think I can get good at that.

fast life & slow/long life. fun stuff.



peace!!

edit: also, it puts sub3 into a better perspective for me.. sub3 seems almost like sub5, for most people. it's pretty serious. Also, it makes that woman I train with, her PB of 2:57 in NY for her 3rd marathon I think, even more mindblowing.

sub3 doesn't seem easy.. that's for sure. I've always respected it, but maybe not enough as I should have.

haha just saw this, thanks man!!

i was thinking about this and how intertwined it was with my athletic pursuits on so many levels. for one, i wouldn't have ever gotten into medschool if hadn't been able to talk about how much i learnt/skills i developed through youth sports....teamwork etc...is a massive part of it. then i would also say i learnt nearly everything i know about working hard/grit/determination etc through basketball and strength training...you get out what you put in kind of mindset. right from when i was like 12 when basketball started getting serious for me, my coach would make us work so hard...i definitely learnt a lot from that

and then more recently, no way would i have been able to manage all the stresses etc physically or mentally without having exercise and this healthy lifestyle that comes along with it, it's unbelievably beneficial.

in summary - don't give up this training life and pursuing goals. it sucks when you realise ah im never gonna make it as a pro basketball player, or damn i'm not gonna qualify for any major weightlifting tournaments anytime soon. But as long as you can keep competing with yourself, its still worth it and you still learn from it and its still going to benefit whatever else you have going on in your life. whether its managing stress, being a better labourer or just being able to play with your kids or something. not to mention the overall benefits to your general physical/mental health. excercise is awesome, neverstop people.

very well said!

and as far as the "neverstop people" goes: ya, every time i've stopped, i've come to really regret it.. better to just figure out how to maintain/transition/coast along for a while than to cut it out. like you said, there's more to it than just reaching some goal in our heads: staying focused on athletic self improvement usually carries with it a ton of health/mental/social benefits etc.

I had a few great coaches at basketball camps growing up. Had lots of crappy coaches elsewhere, but it's amazing what even just a few days with a real leader/motivator/role model can do, learned a ton from a few people in such a short period of time.. I mean one basketball coach at a camp told us to "sit at the front of the classroom so you can learn more/do better in school", no one ever told me that before (I was ~13 or 14 years old?).. and I remembered it/used it from them onwards. Just one example.

peace!!
