AM: (8 hilly, hot miles, 1:09:59). I got up and out a little later than I had hoped, but I was just so exhausted yesterday and last night. Unfortunately, I am still exhausted and still have 6 more grant days/nights left. BUT - I got to see some great track and field last night, even though the men's and women's 5K set me back A LOT in the prediction contest, I was SO happy to see Lauren Fleshman back to her old self - and Molly Huddle is on a tear!! (thumbs up to Jen Rhines for setting a tough pace and breaking the race open). My all time favorite though (with the exception of Bernard Lagat) is BUMBI (Andrew Bumbalough, from Nashville TN, we used to watch him burn it up in cross-country and track when he was in high school). Pretty much without exception the women are running gutsy, tough races, while the men seem to be sitting and kicking - running more tactical races than fast ones ... but, the weather has been brutal for racing, hot, humid and windy ... PM: (4 easy). Head down, I need to focus, get rid of this writers block ... Have a great weekend bloggers. |
