Cold run in Milwaukee.  I wanted to get 8 out of this run but just too beat up on the legs to do it.  This marathon recovery is the hardest of the few I've been through.

Not hard to understand why they changed the name of this race from Beat the Heat to SLCPD Pursuit since it was put on by the YWCA during the week without violence.

I was pretty nervous to run this race after two shaky marathons in the last two weeks and pretty much existing for two months in survival mode.  The last three days I have felt some strength coming back and maybe, just maybe, might start feeling like a runner again.  I kind of had to run this since I only had four Circuit races and it would be stupid to not make an effort at holding on to the Masters again.  The first mile went by in 5:36 which was honestly surprising.  It scared me a little and I slowed for the second mile since I was certain I couldn't run that pace for long today.  But through the hilly loop I started catching people and when the two mile marker came by I knew I'd survive.  At about 2.8 I got chicked by Kassi but was able to get into gear, pass her back and had fun for the last 1/4 mile.  Slow time, but feeling smooth again.

The 9 guys ahead totally kicked my butt...
