10 Mile PR 57:22

15K PR 53:24

Personal:

I am married and have two wonderful kids, 14 and 10.  I've been running since 1982.  I never get "basic" injuries.  I always get the real nasty career threatening kind, like stress fracture of the sacrum, ganglion cyst clamping  down on my peroneal nerve.

Tonight ran a pretty decent 11 mile run in 1:23:55.  Started out really slow and sore, first three miles in 24:00!  Once I got out of Hawthorn Park and to Rose, dropped down to about 7:30 pace, then hit 6:40-6:50 pace the rest of the way.  Ran w/ Josh two loops in Deming Park about 6 miles in and ran into Kayla and a couple ISU girls running (yay Kayla for getting over the ankle injury).  Before that, ran about 1 mile at Austin's practice watching their 3K time trial.  Temp cooler but really humid, 77.

Ran several short runs w/ Austin's CC team at his campout.  Total about 4 miles at very easy pace.  Good thing too, because my legs are completely shot and beat up at this point.  Hoping to be able to heal up by Saturday!

Got up this morning and drove to Morristown to run the P.O.G. 8K Race.  Actually ran into the real Jim Flowers who I follow on fastrunning.  Pretty cool.  Had a pretty decent warmup of 2.5 miles.  Temp not too bad for August, about 74 and humid.  For the race, went out exactly how I wanted to, at 5:40.  Then the side stitch that's been bothering me the latter part of this week kicked in and made my breathing really shallow, and I was pretty much done from there.  At that point I was in 4th overall but quickly fell to 5th.  Ended up with 30:24.  A little disgusted but then reconsidered all the mileage I've piled on the past few weeks.  Got first in my age group and got a gift certificate to The Runners Forum in Carmel, which I put toward a new pair of Saucony Fastwitch Endurance after the race.  Did roughly 3.5 mile cooldown w/ Jim.  Then later this evening after watching the world's first day, took the new shoes out for a pretty decent run up through Howard subdivision and back in 21:44.  First mile in 7:14, last mile in 6:06.  Stomach was still bothering me a little...  Splits from race!

4 24:30 (6:26)  "Really?"

F 30:24 (5:54)

Need to hammer it out for the next 10 days and prep for the ISU race on the 29th.
