Happy April Fool's Day to all 

Also, I am pumped for the Astro's Home Opener tonight.  Opening Day is a fun time of year.  If you haven't been to a mlb ballpark you are missing out on a great time!  Go Stro's kill the Yankees!

Draper Lefty Loop which includes about 400 feet of climbing. 8 miles 6:47AP. This loop simulates miles 14-22 at Boston. Really enjoyed this sunset run tonight. The run never felt hard. Legs felt very light and smooth. Everything was controlled and right effort. Feels good to know I'm starting to get in shape. MIH 7:02AP

Stro's are 2-0/Yankees 0-2 and that's a Big Deal!

Striders Half Marathon MP workout. 

I was able to spend the night at Van Beekum's residence. I ran 5 easy Frudat morning with some striders at the end of the run and the very last step I took my right glute got really tight for some reason. I thought it was just something that would go away but it didn't. Any how, I knew Allie would be going out with the same game plan as I wanted to do. MP to HMP so I thought I would just work with her. It was very easy to run with Allie. We started out conservatively and progressively picked it up. By mile 5 though my right glute felt like it was tightening up. At 5.5 I told Allie to go on without me. I slowed down to try and see if this would back off the pain. It did. Jason Holt circled back around from doing a 6 mile tempo run to come run with me. I had planned to run 6:00 min pace here but I couldn't manage to run any faster than 6:40's because my hip and glute would just tighten up. So I told Jason that I just wanted to keep the effort here the rest of the way and that's would I did. Nothing I could do. Wasn't planing on racing this half. Just thought the course simulated the Boston Marathon well bad that I could get in a good tempo tune up one last time. I couldn't cool down like I wanted because of the tightness so I bagged it. I enjoyed talking to many friends. My friend Ali came to watch me finish. She's a sweetie. Congrats to Scott for a big win and great time on this course. This course is very honest and a great run. So many others had great runs too. Bryant, Ben, Fritz, Jace, Josh E., Walter, James, Devra, Sariah and Allie all had great races. Fun to hang with these guys and learn from them. Goegeous course and the weather was fantastic this morning. Thoroughly enjoyed the run. I talked with Allie and Jason the whole time and even though I didn't accomplish what I wanted exactly, I did the best I could with the circumstances. Hope to get this twinge figured out quickly with two weeks til the marathon. 6:45AP
