| 7am long run with Nathan in Columbus, IN - out and back course from hospital. Last 4 miles picked it up - my legs were pretty sore for some reason, but still feeling pretty strong in the later parts of long runs - encouraging... Crazy race schedule coming up in the next month. Indy Marathon on Oct. 15, Iron Horse Half Marathon Oct. 23 Indy Monumental Marathon on Nov. 5 Good luck to Nathan in his marathon this coming weekend in Witchita!!

Indy Marathon - 8:30 am start - 45 degress, extremely windy - seemed like about 30 to 40mph headwinds at times. Course was fairly hilly as well. Overall a good result, but went out too fast and really crashed at the end. Think I ran way long again...
6:13, 6:46, 7:15, 6:50, 6:35, 6:43, 6:50, 6:40, 7:00, 7:00, 7:10, 7:00, 6:51 First half in 1:29:41 (ties PR! :()
6:53, 7:15, 7:05, 7:10, 7:31, 7:38, 7:31, 7:44, 7:50, 7:45, 8:22, 8:50, 9:51, 2:54 for last 0.318 mi. - my watch also says that my distance was 26.38 miles! I'm thinking 3:04:xx on November 5 in downtown Indy - its really flat, hopefully no wind :)

| 5k in Columbus, IN - Pretty cool that there was 2 x 5ks in my town over the weekend. Great weather for the end of October here - it was 55 degrees and sunny for the race at 2pm. Fairly decent run - probably too fast for the first mile, though: 5:42, 6:02, 6:15, 0:44 3.1 - 18:43 PS Sasha - When I try to publish this entry its giving me an error message about entering a non-standard distance. Had to check the non-standard toggle to get it to publish
