Decided to take another day off to spend time with Megan. We got back from Milwaukee and went out with some friends.

Vinton Woods loop (long version) + a little extra on the north side - 12.5 miles, averaged 7:52

Kept the pace slow as I was pretty dehydrated, but I really enjoyed the run. Picked it up the last few miles. I ran in a pair of Kinvara 2s I Ebayed for a decent price. I'm going to grab a couple more I think while I can still find them. I really like the shoe much better than the 3s. They have just what I like for responsiveness in an everyday trainer.

Fink Cemetery/Fire Cracker loop (modified due to detour) - 12 miles, averaged 8:05 with a few water stops.

Can't seem to get hydrated, so I am trying to take in some water for safety. Took in some water as Columbian Park, then tried to do a vVo2 max pickup, but cut that short because the water didn't stay down. Oh well. Still managed to run home at a decent easy clip.

Megan asked me yesterday when registration was for Boston. I checked the website, and apparently BAA is doing a special registration for those who were unable to finish last year as long as they made it to the halfway point. I haven't done the math, but this would seem to include some very long marathon times even walkers (if walkers are even permitted). I get it, but I am also a bit miffed I think. Perhaps I should pass this topic over to Mr. Murphy's Corner. No that I look for that information I can't find it. Hemm. Maybe I was having another running nightmare.

4th Street Hills to Twyckenham - 10 miles, averaged 8:15 w/ a water stop to soak my hat. Not the most pleasant run in recent memory, but it's in the books.

6 miles (no watch) with Megan along the Maumee river. Great trail, which is shaded and marked. Pretty warm, so we ran very easy. Give anything to have access to a trail like this.

Looks like some great racing went down today in Minnesota.
