AM - 4 miles easy with Finn this morning before work.  Busy schedule today.  No other running expected - unless I can move something this evening and get to go to the All-Comers meet.

PM - All-Comers meet - mile 6:04.  Goal was to try to run even 90 second quarters.  Splits were 90, 91, 93.5 and 89.75.  Not bad - with the exception of the 3rd lap.  Very humid/sticky high dew point.  I had a planned originally to run the 5000, but then got tickled with idea of doing the mile and then the 5000; but I knew mid-way through the mile that I was going to only run one race as I was feeling like I would not have the energy to come back in less than 20 mins to do the second race. 

Saw James run a nice sub 5 min mile and Allie run a very well-executed 5000.  Nice job to both of them.

sticky, steamy, dragon breathy...

glad you made it out for another one (esp since it was so close to your office!). nice mile and splits -- smart running. better to be 93, 89 then the other way around. :)

Thanks Allie - you know what was odd - in looking at the data from my watch afterwards is that my HR was as many as 10 beats faster per minute in the 3rd lap and my pace was 4 seconds slower than it was in the last lap. How does that happen?

Sorry I will miss next week - Good luck to you both!

Nice races, Bret. I miss the All-Comer's meets in Philly. Such a nice change of pace and distance from regular racing. Cheap, and you get to run some different distances. The mile is hard to pass up!

Every time I read about y'alls ATC meets, I wish I was there. Next summer maybe. You have a guest bedroom right? Glad you're still out there mixin' it up Bret. You're a true runner!

The hot, humid, sticky's kind of a given isn't it?
