Long run in St. Louis at 102 degrees at 2pm.  Holy %$@#!  This was a hard run, just about to total exhaustion.  The arm is doing good and the swelling is down, all good news for continued running.  Official results came back today for the half on Saturday, 1:10:45, a PR by over a minute for me and since this is almost exactly the same course as the AM half that I ran an extra half mile on a few weeks ago for a 1:12, I'm pretty certain that I would have broken 1:10 that week.  Curious to see what my times will be in the next two halfs since they are not as aided.  With the recovery rates that I have this year, I could be in the best shape yet for some fall marathon PRs.

Steve, you are in incredible shape and shouldn't be a problem to get a PR this fall!
