Rewriting Ancient Irish Track History

Here's my 3,000m resume
16.9.81-10.29.8.
9.1.05 -10.26.5 Indoor
2.26.05-10.07.0 Indoor
6.07.05-10.02.4
6.14.05-10.05.5
6.21.05-9.48.9
6.28.05-9.58.6
7.12.05-9.58.0
1.07.07-9.38.3.Indoor
2.04.07-9.42.3.Indoor
3.28.08-10.01.6.Indoor
1.03.10-10.16.4.Indoor
3.06.10-??????

12 races over 29 years....hardly prolific but in fairness 3,000m has always been one of those distances untill now.
For the first time ever I feel I've mentally and physically prepared for the distance,the proof of that will be revealed when the gun goes off this afternoon.
Priority #1 will be to lower my pr,9.38.3,if I'm to have any shot at a medal in Boston in three weeks time at Nationals I need to be faster than I am right now.....
Priority#2 lower the club record from 9.25.4.something in the 9.20 realm should earn me a medal ergo the need to run as hard a race as humanly possible this afternoon.

There have been a few false starts this season,#1 of the Thursday nite meets was meant to be a 2 miler but I couldn't secure a ride home,#2 the 3,000m was 2 days b4 the Hartshorne Masters Mile,#3 my ride had to renig due to the second snow storm and I also blew off the New Jersey C'ships 3 days later so now here we are the Mac C'ships/Eastern Regional Open C'ships,in recent weeks my weekly milage has gone up from the 800-1,500m 30 miles a week to 40 and 36 miles,after today I'll be at 31 miles for the week w/ a 9 miler on tap tomorrow,I feel I've laid the ground work,now to reap what I've sowed
