B1st peepers 5k / Nashua 6k

This weekend was a busy weekend with my hometown race saturday and the GP 6k sunday. Saturday turned out to be more of a struggle then anything else, I had some blood drawn for my new job and felt light headed when I woke up that morning. I felt like I was pressing the whole race and never had a point of feeling smooth, I was able to get 2nd in 16:44 I felt that I should have been able to hang with the winner better but just didn't happen. Going into sunday I figured that it would be much of the same as the day before, Lucky for me I felt really good it wasn't till the last mile that I started to hurt but never slowed down I just wasn't able to change gears late. Overall I was 35th in 20:19 which is my first time at this distance.

It was a good weekend and looking forward to having this next one off and getting ready for Rhody.

James Joyce

Today was the 10k of the GP series, going into the race I was looking to run 34min or better with a pr of 34:4x I wanted to try and work that down. The race got out smooth as I settled in with Ben, Jim and George through the first mile all that I was on my mind was I rushed and forgot my calf sleeve ( haven't run without it in months) after the mile though I became confident that it would be ok my achilles didn't hurt. As we moved threw the next two miles we worked together threw a few packs, I wanted to continue to do this which I was able to do. It helped having KG out there keeping me going. The next few miles had some rolling hills and one decent winding climb, I started to feel a bit tired at 5m but knew I had to keep pushing. Overall I finished in 33:52 for a new pr, I was happy with the race and was also pumped that my 5m split was the fastest 5 i have run since college. After the race I ran down the course a bit to watch Haley finish up in her first GP race she ran well and was CMS 4th women.
Overall it was a good day we got the W and I think most people were happy with there races.
