| Lunch- home with redeye (it had been infected and itchy for a few days, but my very late work night Thursday night set it off such that it's bright red now), but there's no reason I can't go running. Did 10 miles by myself on a fairly warm day (86 deg and humid). Legs are incrementally getting better, less fatigued.

| PM- new shoes. Ran at PM for the first time in a while with Aaron, Joe, and Jim (Jim's annual trip when his family is out of town). I felt bad the first third, still bad but used to it the second third, and then kind of ok the last bit when we're going downhill. Always nice to run trail. 10 miles, just over 90 min.

I finally joined the 21st century today- I got an iPhone. We'll see how Ting works.
I signed up for a race tomorrow for some reason. I kinda wish I hadn't. I'm in terrible shape, I don't like the race, it starts at 6:16 am (meaning I have to wake up at 5 am), it's a road 8k, and my infected eyes have been itchier than they have ever been in my life this entire week- and I'm sure waking up early won't make them happy. Anyways, I'll run my best but am not expecting much. I'm normally not this grumpy going into a race. Oh well.

| AM- 10th overall at Sunrise run, probably better than I deserved. Will write more later- gotta go shower for a date with my wife now.
Ran the 8k this morning. Given that I'm just starting training again, I wasn't expecting much. I ran a 28:01 last year in what was a bad race, and was honestly expecting 30-33 min. Woke up early (race starts at 6:16 am, sunrise), warmed up, then started a few rows back. Intentionally didn't wear a watch cause I didn't want to know my time, just run based on how I felt. Started somewhat slow (for a race) and felt I maintained a decent pace. I was in 11th just before the first mile, then passed 2 guys and was passed by 1 in turn. That put me in 10th, where I would stay the rest of the race, though I had a guy within 5-10 seconds behind me all race to keep me honest. When I turned towards the finish line, the clock read high 28's and I tried to keep it within a minute of last year. Finished in 29:01, though I guess the clock was off and actual time was 29:06, and I was third GE guy. Either way, I was happy all things considering. Cooled down with Phil and Jason.
My get in shape push continues next week with a planned 80 miles, then 100. One month from now I'll be at Hardrock, where I estimate I'll run 120-140 miles at high altitude. That should just about kill me if I don't die.
