Another solid race for Senor Dewitt. Looking forward to seeing what he runs for 10k in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for posting that, Jaron.

This race was a little different because it went out faster through both the mile and the two mile (4:52 and 9:48-9) than the one the week before (4:54 and 9:54). My legs did not really have much zip at the end this time, which I guess is a good thing since we are just now getting into April.

I will run the 10k at Bucknell on April 13th. I want to get a 10k on the track where I don't have to worry about splits or anything. Hopefully I can just get pulled along and not think about things too much.

Justin, I know you have told me about the "effortless" feeling that can accompany a good 10k. I have run one track 10k and three XC 10ks and I am still waiting for that feeling! Honestly, though, I feel pretty confident about this season. We've done lots and lots of miles, the most ever for me, in fact, and I think between this Bucknell race and the one at Patriots, I am bound to have a good one.

Early time goals for the Bucknell race: ~16:00 for the 5k split, sub 32:00 for the finish.

Very premature goals for Patriots 10k: somewhere in the 31:40's might score a point or two- I would love that. Who knows.

I think this post might get me to the three-star level. Don't I feel elite!

Another good one Dan.

That good 10k will come. From what I've seen that good effortless feeling is only valid for track 10k's, not XC. XC ones are more like an 8k with 2k more of pain.

When I ran a good one it would feel real easy and "slow". Hitting the splits are automatic, like cruise control, then the last 1200-1600 is just racing, holding people off and passing people.

You're ready for a good one, that's for sure.
