thoughts going into the Lisle Spring Sprint 10k

2-13: looking over the results* from last year makes me think that winning might need to be the goal. going for even splits and a time goal will mean a conservative start and not responding to other runners pushing the pace. but if the first place runner is only running five seconds a mile faster than me, that could help me get even more out of the race. i know that i can run a 35:30 10k (ive done it before), but im just not sure if my fitness really is as good as it was, atleast not for the 10k distance. *http://www.athlinks.com/time.aspx?eventid=118791&courseid=169448
3-8: winning is the goal. the weather should be perfect, probly in the 40s. my legs are strong, but my distance run this week (only 12 miles) didnt feel too good. im worried that, while ive run enough 5k's to fake one if i havnt trained right for it, my heart might be pumping a bit too much battery acid through my legs after about 4 miles. i feel ready for some hard tempo work now, but i just havnt enough to be ready for a PR yet.
the game plan is just to go out as easy as possible and run to win. i dont wana have to lead from the start this time, the Frozen Buns Run went perfectly, if theres someone to follow for atleast the first half ill be happy.
ill have the race report up but tuesday the 15th.
and two quick workouts from yesterday...
about 3:00pm:
>3 miles dragging tire (post about that soon)
about 11:00pm:

>WU (light clean and jerk, 100 supine bike to each side, 100 side plank dips each side -alternating 10s)

>5 rounds of: 

 ->5 clean and jerks (at 3/4 bodyweight)

 ->20 pushups (chest to deck)

the entire evening workout had virtually no rest at any point, so it was less than 10mins total

i usually use a bit less weight than these people (ok, alot less!), but heres what a clean a jerk looks like for those who arent familiar with olymipic lifts
