patriot leagues this weekend-
saturday- 5000m- i am right on the brink of getting into the fast heat, so i will have to wait and see- goal: PR (15:18) and try to get down to 15:10 or so
sunday- 3000m- i havent run this race yet this season so i will be in the slow heat and ill be trying not to rip my calves off after the 5k- goal: PR (8:58) and try to run 8:45 (70 second quarters- 4:40 per 1600)
if i could come out of the weekend with two new PRs, id deem indoor a success and look toward april with a big smile- whatever happens, though, the winter is on its way out and the days of warmer weather are soon upon us- ive been blessed with good health til this point and i'll take a healthy winter over a few scattered good races any time- my time has always been the spring-
lets really cheer for those who like indoor!
see you all next weekend when i storm back to the burg for spring break- thanks for putting this up on the board, justin

Etters told me you were in the fast heat of the 5k, so give them hell. Have fun and stick your nose in there and race.

Good luck, Dan! I'll look for some other West Virginia half-marathon when you come in.

Good job to Dan. Come back and run a great 3k tomorrow and things are looking great for outdoor.
Scott Bonnette ran 8:54.77 for 3k at Kent State, so a new PR for him by 21 seconds from earlier this year.

Good run by Jordan in the 5k today at Big East. Hope he comes back tomorrow and runs the 3k or the mile.

Another god run for Dan, almost a PR. 8:58.99. Not a bad weekend kid.
I noticed Jordan hasn't races since Yale and then was limited to the 5k this weekend. I hope he isn't injured or something.

yes, a good weekend for Dan. He should be really pumped for that early season 10k in a month and a half.

indoor season came to an end in a big way up in lewisburg- while it is one my least favorite places on earth (it might be less populous than even zihlman), the track races proved to be interesting-
i ended up in the slow heat of the 5k- they took 15 of 21 to the fast heat- i was #16- in my heat was navy's john olsen, 4th seed in the 3k with a time of 8:19- he had a NT in the 5k so was relegated to the slow heat-
i didnt go out with him to say the least- anyway, i went out in 71-2:25-4:53, then held tight to 9:47, and made it to 4800m in 14:41- my last lap was pretty even to the others and i closed in i guess around 35 to make it 15:16. olsen lapped me before two miles were even up and with only a quarter to go i was right behind him and the clock was at 13:28- he cruised in to a 14:40 and ended up getting 4th place in the race
3k was horrific- i was looking to run even 70's and try to hit 8:45- i was in the slow heat again (i hadnt run the 3k yet this year) so i was seed 11 in an 11 person heat- the other kids took it out and before i knew it, the mile was passed in 4:48 and my legs were fried- there was no saving this race- some kid from holy cross kept spiking me and my teammate, and ended up taking off my teammate's shoe, so my teammate dropped out before he slugged the kid, and i limped to the line in a measly 8:58.99, feeling quite dissatisfied and rather itchy-
on the whole, i am pleased with the weekend- the 10k should prove to be a better friend in a few weeks time. i am looking forward to training with the group this coming week- today five of our freshmen asked me to go out with them on a 5AM 15 miler- i was so proud of the men they had become- i felt like an old man- it was dark and now i am falling asleep quite easily, but its only class, so who cares
time to go- see you all for sunday style fun on the long run

Looking forward to seeing you over Spring Break (hopefully). Remember the key to the 10k on the track is to relax and attach early, then race late. It's not as far as you think it is. You're looking good going into outdoor, you should be very confident right now.

well justin the truth is I have been sidelined for about 2 weeks. going on 3.
cramped calf... moved into my Achilles and what not.. couldn't get on my toes...
needless to say, the 5k was terrible. actually awful. thanks for the support fellas..
Dan, your rollin' buddy. keep it going through outdoor... you can set some huge PR's .
