Running out of time

House to campus nice morning

A day off

Light rain and steamy, legs were heavy even after the day off. 7 miles morning run at 54:54.

morning run home to porter ave and back, 2 miles a 6:50. Warm and muggy out. 44:08 for the 6 miles.

We got into Scott AFB about 3 pm went for my traditional 5 mile run. Same course they added about a mile of pressed rubber to their running trail. Reminds of running on astro turf it's so thick and spongy. Legs were heavy and dead meat from the 7 hour car ride, don't know what condition they will be in Saturday for marathon. Weather was 90 degrees and very humid, managed to run 38:46 with all the stops and starts crossing intersections to get to trail.

16 USAF Marathons in a row. There's 23 of us left that have completed them all. This has been the fastest I have run since turning 50. I turn 55 in Dec and plan on posting some new age group prs. It was raining when we got the race but the rain passed by the time the race started. A cool front was passing through so we had a stiff north wind at times in our face but it was nothing to complain about coming from Oklahoma, temps were in the 60s. This is always been tough place to get an age group award if your over 40. First half was in 1:28:00 leaving second in 1:37:00, rolling course the first 5 and the last 5 miles.
