Not happy about the course being so short, but we can put this down as one solid 13 mile tempo. Pushed it a bit, but it worked out just fine. The pace on my watch would give me a time of 1:31:07ish, so it would have been a PR of 2:32 or so. 11th overall and 3rd in age group, which is also a good thing.

North side loop - 4 miles, averaged 8:46

Back in Lafayette. Two days off probably did some good. Pouring rain two days after the race. Wish we had some rain here. 102 projected for tomorrow.

16 week marathon buildup begins July 15. Easy this week and easy next while getting my mileage back up, followed by a week of higher mileage with some doubles (if I don't start back on them before).

Checked out some bike trails a few friends had mention. Never knew they were there. They are basically technical mountain bike trails, so nothing of any distance. Pretty fun running down into ravines though. Not my kind of trail running (yet) - 5.3 miles, averaged 9:20

The humidity seems to be back in town. We went from 30-40% to 77%.
