| AM - seires race in Hayden, IN. A nice loop around CR cornfield area. Decent weather - about 65 degrees and a bit humid. Tim Proctor and I ran together for about 2 miles and then he slowly edged away in mile 3, as I could not hang with a 5:3x pace. Decent effort for me without a whole lot of 5k specific training this year. 6:03, 5:53, 5:50 splits. Ran the course before and after with Tim.

| Long Run - Sufferfest. really good weather in the morning. Made the mistake of waiting around until 8:30 to start the run. Suffered through about 3 hours in warmer weather.
Out and back on Ppl trail along 46, omstly in grass. 16.7mi. Back to house and filled up hydration pack for next leg. Thought for sure that 2 liters would get me throught the rest. It was close. Grand View out and back to add on about 20 more miles. Back to house and changed shoes and refilled a handheld to finish the remaining 4 miles. 40 miles total - 6:12:54 moving time

| Drove out to Grand View for a try at trail loop. No go - about 0.8 in to the loop, realize that it is unrunnable with down trees, losing the path, and endless spider webs crossing the path.
Hop down on to the road. Much more enjoyable. Ogling all the awesome houses, and watching the boats and waterskis , and seeing other folks out walk, jog, bike around the loop. about 10miles - about 8:20 pace

| This was a warm one here in Colubus, IN. Humid and warm, and results across the board reflecteed that. Two personal friends who are usually in the 2:30-2:40 range stuck it out for 3rd and 4th place overall in 2:50 each. My race was similar. Started out with an aerobic pace in the morning hours while it was still below 70 deg. by 9 am it was climbing through mid 70s and finished up at almost 80 deg.
Half split - 1:29:33. 20 mile time - 2:21... I looked down at several 9 min. miles in the final 5k. 3:16:33, for what I think was about 10th place overall. I did not win the Cummins Ram truck in the truck giveaway. For the first year, the announcing people actuall read 3 people's names that were not present! They just had to show up to the announcement, and they would have won a $50k truck!
