Well, after you all know, after taking 4 days off, I turned around and ran my best 1.64 mile time, in a total of 16:43 and shaving off 1:03 in the process. I thought to ease back into things and do the best for my legs so since then Ive taken two night off, and Ill be back at it tomorrow. Can't wait!
-Matt
I took that 16:43 and said SHOVE IT! I ran the 1.64 mile loop in an awesome (for me) 15:30. I know Ive been seeing 1:00+ time improvements, but that is going to be slowing down now after this time. Ill still be able to improve, but not nearly as fast. I didn't walk near as much and I even threw in a ~40 yd uphill sprint. Im SO pumped!
-Matt

Hit 2 miles on the treadmill at a relaxed pace (~10 mile miles). First time I've done any sort of cardio in months...been slacking off badly in that dept lately.

For a beginner, a 10:00 pace isn't bad at all. That's what Im hovering around right now myself.
-Matt
Well, not really a beginner per se. I've played sports since I was a wee one (soccer) so I've built up a bit of endurance and seem to keep some of it even if I don't run regularly.
BTW, knocked out 3 miles today at the same pace.

Yesterday during Muay Thai we played a lil soccer game with a old school medocine ball. then the normal class followed by BJJ, I was tired as shit yesterday. I'd like to get some good biking or some other cardio in on Saturday.

Raced this weekend, "night" (7pm) race in 95 degree heat.
http://www.strictlyrunning.com/results/08Hot.txt
http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/6436317
BLITZED my old PR - time was 20:44. My splits were 6:15 (!!!), 6:38 (!!), and 6:52 (boo). I think that on a cooler day I could have done 3 of the 6:15... looking forward to the fall! My stretch goal is to drop under 20 minutes by the end of the year, which would make me a very fast casual runner or a very slow serious runner.

ran 1.5 at the high school track at what i would consider 9/10ths pace for me right now. quite the battle with the heat and humidity, but the challenge is half the fun

I weighed about 180 then and about 150 now. I'm still the heaviest guy running my kind of times in races - the guys that are finishing around me are all super lean six pack types. Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing 
I've been a little lucky. With my frame I never would have guessed I could be a quick runner but I think I'll be in the 19 minute range - and definitely under 20 - before it's all said and done.

Good god man...under 20mins is GREAT times for any 5k run.
I've crosstraining and kickboxing over 15years now. And I can say my best time is right between 20-22mins. anything under 18mins is just awesome imo.

Awesome 5k time man. How long have you been running? Going under 20 would be a great accomplishment.
I started training a little more than a month ago for a 5k coming up at the end of the month. While training the fastest 5k I've ran is 23.10, I hope to take it under 22 for the race.
