| AM- had breakfast with my dear friend 'snooze button' PM- 88= warm 11.05 miles, relaxed pace. Work is just tiring these days, waiting to catch up and get this back to normal. I did scare some people running as it got dark and did my good deed in the neighborhood as a girl was chasing her dog with a leash so I sprinted and grabbed the leash for her, she thanked me (I was hoping for water, but alas no luck there). |

| AM- 4 easy, cooler (68) but still humid... PM- 13, started slow, then after 7 ran progressively faster. Last mile 7:22. Overall better day of work, trying to manage the time properly so the stress does not affect the running. Read an article about another high school kid dying during football conditioning in the heat/humidity. They push and are afraid to tell the coaches they are spent. If I was a coach and was seeing this happen I would figure out a way to practice in cooler temps or indoor or something- because something like this should never happen. |

| Easy run, not sure if I will get out tonight or not. Thinking of letting the legs rest and use this week to spring into heavy miles next week. |

| 74/92% hot/humid. These were bad racing conditions. More on that later. I really need to find a different 10k to set a base time for me, but this one is so close and cheap ($9!, $3 if you are a member... need to do that). Anyway, I ran it last year and they pretty much tell you add a minute to your projected time the way the course is [you run up a dam wall (it's part of the bike bath, but what it's called) - have fun with that in more ways than one]. That was last year. So this year they altered the coarse, it loops back so we ran the dam wall twice.... yay... I won't be breaking down this race report like normal- again more later. I was hoping on a normal course I could hit sub 41 - not easy, but not killing myself. I thought on this course I could hit 41 and a half or maybe if I killed it sub 41. I didn't. I really did not like my time, but tough to judge with the added hill. I did improve my time and when I looked several people were worse than last year. I went from 5th to 2nd, but somehow that still was lacking. The race was set up without an award part, you got your metal as you finished if you were in top 3 of your age category. That way you can leave when you are ready and I like that. After I left I found out that one of the runners collapsed after they finished. They needed CPR and were rushed to the hospital. I am still waiting to hear if they made it or not. It really made me wonder since I just posted a few days ago about the high school kids who died in the heat during football conditioning. They had water stops. I see plenty of people who run 5k's who maybe are not at all ready, but most people who take on a 10k are better prepared, or maybe I am missing the point. Were the conditions that bad? I think it was all very sad and maybe it affected me more than I realized- not from a mortality standpoint. I am more than secure there thanks to God. Hopefully they are alight and hope this did not bring anyone down (probably a good day for one to skip my blog). |
