PM Run around Grandview Lake with a couple of the CR Series guys.  Tom and Jeff.  Left from Tom's house at about 5:30 and ran about 45minutes in the dark.  Tom and Jeff both had headlamps, fortunately - not too many streetlights out there.  Good run on a hilly course.  1:07:24 for 9.3 miles.

Turkey Trot 8k, part of the CR Series in Seymour, IN.  7:30a start time, about 35 degrees.

A good running buddy, Ron Brooks, came up from Louisville to run this morning, so that was cool.  Its become a good core of runner family with this series.  Like somebody said somewhere once, "Running mates is like automatic friends..."  

I ran fairly well today - very even splits - 6:05's almost every mile.  I don't feel like I'm in that great of shape - about 10 lbs over race weight and low mileage.  My left knee is still giving me some trouble, as well. 

Strides before the race to warm up, about .85 after to CD.

I think this is a PR at 8k distance, though it didn't really feel that good :)

4.99 according to Garmin - 30:20

Off - Um, we ate at Stir Crazy in Greenwood , IN for lunch and I recieved a wonderful little bug from something.  Had trouble holding anything in my stomach, and then about 2:30am woke up with what felt like a near fatal temperature spike (I think).  My wife wnated to take me to the ER, but once it finally peaked I guess my body decided that the bug had been cooked and I immediately felt better.  Not fun :(

Anyway - I am thankful that I survived and taking today and tomorrow off.
