Alright, who knows what is going on with my body at the moment? Today I ran a five mile threshold run in 27:08 with a hurting foot. It was also windy and pretty hot outside. This is close to ten seconds off my race time this last weekend! Whaaat? I am in a bit of confusion. Apparently my body just decides on a whim when it wants to run well and when it feels like sandbagging. Who knows? I ran 4x200 meter strides at the end (all under 32 seconds) and jogged for a three mile cooldown. I guess I should be happy!

Dirt makes you quite a bit slower. On another subject, I got approval from the boss (the Fast Running Mommy) to have you stay with us in July for a couple of days. There are two good races for you to run around that time - Draper Days 5 K on July 21st, and Deseret News 10 K on July 24th.

Sometimes I do the same thing in my races. I think it comes down to mental focus and a willingness to hurt, I know I always run better when I am excited to race.
