55:28 - long 6. Today is my usual day off, but because the race two weeks from yesterday this week is a little different. I will have Friday off, with Wednesday an option day off depending on how I feel (I am hoping not to take it off but I will if this week is anything like last week). Felt ok -- I was supposed to run between 40-50` felt pretty tired when I started so I was planning on doing 5 miles -- but then I started to feel better and ended up deciding to just do 6 - added on about .2 because of the change of heart (laps are different for the two runs so I ended up running the first lap in the outside loop and then one inside loop). So -- can I just tell you how much fun it was yesterday to "watch" (via Let's Run) the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational. WOW - a new American record in the woman's 10K - every one of the women's 3000 steeplechasers made the Olympic Trials Standard (3 making the Olympic A standard, and all of them making the USA Olympic Trials A standard). On the men's side Bernard Lagat tearing it up again -- with an awesome run by Brent Vaughn for 2nd place in the 5000 (both of them making the Olympic A standard!). Craig Mottram won the much anticipated 10,000 m race -- even after having to aqua jog for some time because of an injury. I can't wait until June 27th -- when I can watch these on TV and not on Flotrack (though these guys are great to make this available) -- the livestream works great from my office (T2 line), but is a pain over the wireless at home. Happy Monday bloggers.
