Lake Cumberland Half.  Warm and Hilly:  Decent for first 5 miles... :)

Fitness is... not good?  IDK whats going on.  Been doing a decent amount of training at this point.  Nothing specific, but, certainly enough to expect better than this result.  Lots of hard effort to maintain 7 minute pace over the last 10k or so.  1:27:3x for 4th place

Anyway, it was great to see the KY crew, and finally see Nathan's beautiful new home on the lake!  Got to hang a little bit with him and his family at post race awards. 

Good Times!  :)

Mill Race Marathon.  6th year in a row running the full in the hometown race.  Coming in to the race with a realistic assessment of fitness.  Fortunately, a cooler morning throughout the race.  Good running with a fella who has become running friend most of the race, also. 

Splits:

1st 10mi.: 6:56, 7:00, 6:52, 6:53, 6:56, 6:52, 6:58, 6:50, 6:49, 6:53,

2nd 10mi.: 6:44, 7:01, 6:53, 6:51, 6:47, 6:56, 7:00, 6:57, 6:59, 7:06, and

the dreaded last 10k:  7:00, 7:13, 7:21, 7:41, 7:46, 7:36, 0.52 in 7:47 pace

Pretty poor finish - going from 7th place dropping to 14th place

People Trail 50k.  AM out and back from house out to airport and along people trails through Mill Race Park.  All road, and going for a good effort.  3:50:34 is a PR for the distance, I believe.  2 Gels, and a water bottle in the 60 degree weather.
