So close

to sub 17
17:11 on a semi-hard course
i have another 5k in a couple weeks and I'll go for sub 17 there

my goals for this year:
sub 10 2 mile
sub 17 5k
sub 4:30 mile

hey thats wat im trying to do, except I don't care about sub 4:30 as much, i will just try to sub 4:40, and my real goal is to sub 1:57 in the 800.

good luck, im trying to go sub 18 this fri. i had a 5k race today. and it was a really bad race, so my confidence isnt that good.

I'm trying not to get lazy >.<

We all have different goals I guess.

nice job! is that a pr?

If you're sub 17 in XC and su 1:57 in track you should be close to sub 4:30.

A bit too much racing perhaps?

no, i have only had 3 so far this summer, my last one was last weekend.

i just felt really bad today, and not my best. i ran a very embarrising 19:30 today.
i train tempos @ that pace. i just dont feel good @ all. and my calfs hurt afterward.
little rest today and i might try and run this afternoon see how i feel. and see how fri goes.

3 summer races is to much, especially 3 weeks into summer.

idk, i was satisfied w/ my times. i ended the year w/ an 18:35 5k and a 1:29:04 half pr. right before and @ the very beggining of my freshman year.

Im gonna do a time trial on a 5k course next week. Hoping to sub 18
I have the same goals as u except for the 2mile thing RWS

Im running a 10K on July 4th and Im looking for a time that would suggest a 5K of Sub-19..since the McMillan is way way wrong, any suggestions? And very, very good RWS. Are you going to be a senior?

agreed.

yeah sub 17 is WAY to easy of a goal cause you know ever body on here can do that on a easy warm up jog

And to the 3 races is too much thing I'm doing 2 more 5ks, 1 5mile and 1 10mile before xc season starts.
