No run today. I woke up was an awful headache....so much that I was nauseous and had to lay around for a couple hours. I was able to pull it together enough to make it to work, but I didn't feel close to normal until sometime in the afternoon. I even skipped my normal evening weight workout just to be sure I would be good for a run in the morning.

It was 50 degrees and humid again this morning. I ran 13.03 miles in an up and down pace. I was doing good in the 3rd mile when a dog started chasing me from out of nowhere. It was snapping at my leg and I was hollering and kicking at it and picking up the pace at the same time. It startled me pretty good because it was still dark outside and I did not see it coming. In the process I pulled something in my lower abdominal area which bothered me the rest of the run. I will try to stretch and work it out tonight.

Race: Potneuf Greenway 10K (6.21 Miles) 00:42:03, Place overall: 4

It was 48 degrees when I left this morning, 75 when I got back. I ran 7.13 miles down to Ross Park before the 10K. I wanted some good MP miles today with St. George coming up and the day went well. On my run to the park I felt really smooth, first time since the marathon. In fact I ran a bit fast considering I still had a race to run.

In the 10K I focused on MP miles and averaged 6:46 per mile which is right about MP for me. I finished 4th overall and won my age group for the whole summer series so I got a sweatshirt and a gift certificate to Barrie's sports so that was cool.

Then I ran the 7.13 miles home nice and easy as a cool-down and got just over 20 for the day. I am pleased most especially with how I felt. My form was back and I am feeling better about SGM in 2 weeks!!!

Hey I just realized that this put me over 3000 miles for the year...
