6:47, 6:39, turned around and back tracked to run in with some of the guys doing a double loop. 7:13, 7:30, 7, 7
14.1 miles - 1:32 ish
Was not ready for this effort, but, was caught a little off gaurd by my lack of fitness today. Really was thinking I was in 80' fitness range for today.

| AM Series race across town. Tour de Trails 8k - 30:00. First time running this one, though its been on the series calendar every year. Humid / rainy morning. Tough to breath after about 3 miles and struggled running in to a decent headwind on this out anda back course. Easy 2 mile WU and 8 miles easy pace in the grass afterward. Left foot is still pretty tender. Not quite in the plantar fascia-itis pain range, but, some pain. Continuing with the rolling and massage stuff.

| AM - Easter Long Run: Grandview, Random CR (550, Tipton, etc.). Great weather: threatened to rain and storm as I approached Grandview - dark ominous clouds over the hills and all around the lake. Dierted to trail a little bit up Belleville climb, but, then back to road. Storm clouds went away and it was sunny, humid and hot after that. 4 scoops of Tailwind drink mix with 1.5 liter hydr. pack was money again. Think I need a bigger pack... Struggled today whenthat ran out with 4 miles left, but, was determined to reach 28.1 and get 120 for week (Mon.-Sun.). Did some walking, but, I got there. Stopped at house and chugged some water nutrition and went back out to finish. 28.1 mi. - 4:22. Walked with kids at Outlet Mall.

| Walk at work
Took afternoon at work and ran home. Seymour to Columbus on CR's. warm and humid with some windy /rainy conditions. started to thunder at the end, but, anything bad held off until later in the day.
Drank a handheld of Tailwind/water mix, anda another bottle of water. Had some stomach issues that eventually worked out. Took some walking breaks to keep the effort light.
Some pain in the left foot.

| AM - Carrying the stick w/ sign for 3:25 group for Carmel Marathon this morning.
Had a decent group through 16 miles. Had 1 guy that made it for the whole ride - 3:22:xx should get him in to Boston for 3:25 Qualifying AG. Felt pretty good to see him achieve his goal. He was pretty exciteed at the end. WU miles w/ Zane and cool down miles back to truck. Nice day for a marathon - temps around 50 degrees, but, a little windy. Glad I could help by breaking the wind for a couple folks throughout the race.
Overall, a very rewarding experience.
