THOU SHALT BE A COMEBACK

30 mortuary loops plus abripper x

alone.  great music.  got pooped on by a bird but it didn't bother me

30 post 4 loops

chilly and crisp in the am after work.  i was chatty, talked a lot, went fast

treadmill.  last 2 at 6:40 pace.  looking forward to saint george news!

deliciously chilly.  felt...really good.

slow morning plod.  a little over 4 probably because we turned around late

loops at work before we got more calls

ez. no watch

I am officially registered for the Praire Fire Marathon in 2 days.  Why?  to reclaim myself.  even if it is on track to be a personal worse time.

so I am gonna break it down and be honest.  this was a good race, despite the far cry from last year. Its been a rough go, I got divorced, sat on my porch all summer and smoked.  weak, pathetic.  at the very end of July I started running again.  no real training for the  last 11 weeks but last minute decision, came out and ran my hometown marathon.  no watch, no splits, just ran....just to run, and be me.  It. was. great.  most painless marathon i have ever ran.  felt great from beginning to end.  honestly i think i dogged it because it felt too good.  no crash, no wall.  I am excited to get back into real shape for spring because there is hope, there is hope. 

500 yards swimming to loosen up then some hot tub time.  actively planning to re-visit sub-3 in April

a little junk in the legs yet, so hit the pool again.  500 warm up, 20x50 on the 1:30 clock, 250 cooldown.  hot tub time.  now that the taste is in my mouth I am raring to run and compete and get back in shape. soon.

ez at work

treadmill.  2 flat 8:34.  1 up 7:30.  4 down 6:40.  afew strides

ez on the mill. boring

40 loops at post 4.

bright and early with the shadow

8 ez on the mill except mile 7 to 7.5 at 5:56 pace to remind my legs and lungs about speed.  there may be a race on Sunday.

haha this was funnn!!!  Our 5 man team went for it in the Bison Topeka to Lawrence relay, consisting of 10 legs.  I was legs 1 and 10.  I opened with 6.3 miles at 6:40 pace, started in second, and we stayed second the whole time.  last leg was 5 miles and no watch, but somewhere in 6:30 range judging from the clock. Since our average age was 40.8, we were firs masters team and first co-ed team.  Fun fun times.  Will definitely do the relay thing again.  Go River City Honey Badgers!
