Polar Bear 5k

 Had a good weekend of running . Traveled to Marietta saturday morning for a 5k that i knew would bring out a few fast guys plus to run against . I was wanting to see if I can break 16:00 for the 5k with just only a 6x800 speed session and a couple of tempos  . Malcolm Campbell arrived right at the start . I was wondering if any fast sub 16 guys was gonna show . Glad he did. He always brings out the best in me when racing against him . First mile in 4:52,5:01,5:01 according to my garmin (3.13). It was a two loop course and last .2 miles we had to race though slower lap traffic from the first loop . Finished up 2nd Overall with a time of 15:32 behind Malcolm's 15:09 . Really happy with my effort . Gave my age group trophy to this little boy that was eyeing it when I  was leaving . I think it made his day  .  Within the next few races I'm looking to run a sub 15 which I havent did in a while . Maybe a Chattahoochie 5k on March 5th .
 Sunday I logged in a 16 mile long run averaging a 6:30 pace . My plan was 8 easy but was feeling good and decided to get that long run in . Goal for this week is 80+ miles  .
