Atom I had another 5K race today and my goal was to break 25 mins. The weather was cold (about 42F) and windy. Last Saturday was the same, but during the week, the weather was perfect. The cold fronts are just waiting to move in when I have a race 
Unfortunately I wasn’t successful in meeting my goal, but I still managed to walk away with a new 5K PR of 25:16, 15 seconds faster than last week’s 5K. I know a sub-25 is within my reach today, but I think I really need to get a handle on my pacing. For the first 3 miles, my pace was 7:27, 8:25, and 8:37 respectively. I still had to take a few brief walking breaks.
I think I need someone to pace me the way there are pace groups in marathons . My forerunner has a virtual partner. I’ll read up on it to see if it’ll work for my purposes.
