Ran on the XC course in Kansas. It was 22'F and freezing rain and wind. Not a fun day. James got tripped at about the 1/2 mile mark and went down pretty hard. He had a good start and was in the top 10 when he went down. After that he had to try and get up and get going again but was caught up behind a bunch of runners and had a hard time passing during the rest of the race as the course gets a lot narrower. So not a good day for James. A couple of boys he beat at Footlocker last week ended up 8th and 11th so he was pretty dissapointed. I fell once on the ice and pulled a muscle in me lower back that is very sore today. The knee is still not 100% but hopefully I can start getting the miles back up soon.

Sorry Kansas was a bummer, hopefully the whole race wasn't like that. Hope those injuries heal up soon, but it looks like you still had a good week. Your week was as high in mileage as any I ran all year.
