Another hot run the temps were in the middle 90's, produced alot of sweat. I did the golf course loop with the side trail, my legs did ok today. I stayed easy as I am doing a half marathon on sat. I did 25 min of Bowflex on my upper body and finished todays workout with 200 crunches.

Todays run had a little bit of everything in it, and I found out that your hair does stand on your head when a lightining bolt is going to strike close. Then it started to poor rain and it cooled it off and ended up being a very injoyable run. The last mile the wind was blowing do hard it made it a difficult mile. But it was still a great run.

Nice run today was pretty windy though, but we stuck it out. I finished with 25 min on the Bowflex and 200 crunches. I will take tomorrow off and recover my half marathon on sat.

This race just gets more and more popular each year. Tons of people on a very cool morning at race start. It started about 10 min late but considering the people I guess that's ok. This is the first half that I have stayed strong throughout the race and had enough for the last mile that I was acutally passing alot of people. All in all a very good performance for me and another PR for the year. My splits are as follows.

Mile 1. 8:13

        2. 7:35

        3. 7:39

        4. 7:40

        5. 7:53

        6. 7:48

        7. 8:14 The hill kicked my butt

        8. 8:22 Get me off this uphill

        9. 8:02

       10. 7:44

       11. 7:53

       12. 7:45

      13.1 7:27 Blew past mohawk guy.
