Doug's Running Thingy

Got 4 in this morning before all day meeting out of office.  Took a zero yesterday due to sleeping in late and then yardwork all day resulting in sore foot so no evening run (ok, World Cup and Yuengling Black and Tan also prevented evening run) - ah well, felt pretty good this morning.

Could only muster 3 miles this morning.  Bowling last night so right groin/lower abs pretty sore again... hopefully a couple more weeks and I will be in bowling shape - sheesh

Droning along with 3-5 mile runs for a while.  Gonna run the Midnight Run in Dunedin next week, but then If I see no improvement in a couple more weeks, I may just take a break for a couple months. 

Dodged the lightning and rain all evening for the summer track series meet.  Travis placed 2nd in the 800 with a comfy 2:07, and I ran a couple miles on the trails and then jumped in the 3200 on the track.  Overcast, relatively cool and breezy weather helped me go 7:50, 6:50... fastest I've run in months.  Achilles was plenty warmed up this time and gave me no trouble turning left for 15 minutes.  I think I'm ready for a shot at sub 24 next week in the Midnight Run 5K! ugh

Later than planned start so I had to cut it short at 3.5 to make it to office so I could babysit the carpet cleaners - oh well.  Got in 3 good hours of cross training/pressure washing - always fun.
