I cannot believe the rain has stopped it has been an amazing couple of days of wet weather.

Today it was perfect weather for my run, I did the golf course loop then along the river trail and back home. Felt pretty good it is a mini taper week as I get ready for the Hurricane Halg on sat. I finished with 200 crunches.

Another hard run into the wind it was blowing very hard from the south again so that must mean another storm is coming in. I did the golf course loop again it was a tuff long haul today. I finished with 200 crunches.

This has been kind of a tuff week for training, it seems I have come down with a pretty good cold. I felt really lousy yesterday so no running yesterday. I got into a Doc yesterday afternoon and he gave me  a Z Pac (Antibiotic), so this afternoon I am starting to snap out of it. My throat has been really sore for over a week and it is starting to get better. As of right now it is mostly in my sinuses, I hope I will feel like racing sat in the Hurricane half.

I did feel like running this afternoon and did just an easy four miler. Out past Gu Corner and back. I hope the cold will be much better by sat. See ya soon.

This was a tuff half, I havn't ran this one for a couple of years, and I forgot how much up hill there is. Wow there is alot. I ran this race with my Son Bryan and my Brother Clay (Rambo Jr.). This was Bryan's first half and he finished and over came the IT Band issues he has been having for the past couple of weeks. Clay did very well and finished 5th in his age group. By all of us completeing this rae it gets us into the SGM this year has we have completed the Runner Series for 2009.

I started out way to fast and tryed to keep up with Rambo Jr but I had to back off as his pace was much to quick for this old guy. I felt pretty good until miles 10 and 11 and just did not have any leg strength left. It was all I could do to keep them turning over for the rest of the race.

Pace miles are as follows.

Mile 1. 7:47

        2. 7:40

        3. 7:55

        4. 8:08

        5. 8:16

        6. 8:35

        7. 8:50

        8. 8:03

        9. 7:41

       10. 7:58

       11. 9:05

       12. 9:49

       13. 8:45

Not my best half but a good effort considering the tuff course. The best part about the race was running with Bryan and Rambo Jr. Thanks for dragging this old guy along.
