5:30p run to the track:  6.5 mi. w/  2x0.5mi. (2:56, 3:00) - It was pretty hot, but my legs also felt dead.  Saving up for Geist Half this Saturday. Total time - 56:22

Mowed the lawn and suffered my usually mild allergy attack.

8p neighborhood run: 4 mi. w/ dog - 3 mi. easy, finished up with 0.5 mi MP and 0.5 mi. HMP.  Legs felt a lot better than earlier in the day. 

Total time - 31:45

1 mi. WU over to start line, 

Course is very hilly, and I've been feeling bad with a stomach bug the last couple days.  I was feeling some cramping /tightness and had digestion  issues throughout the race today.  Fairly pleased with the result considering all the excuses I had :)

Last 5k was horrible... 21:11 :(

The legs also felt tight from mile 1, so oh well.

15k under an hour and 1:04:52 though 10 mi.  No GPS watch still, so no splits.

God, my stomach is still churning while sitting here typing this.  :(

This is a point to point race, so 4.5 mi. slow rec. jog back to car.
