Easy run, first after a bout with food poisoning. Went kind of slow but it was at 3PM today.

Hot run in Liberty Park, finally they put in new wood chips.

Funniest thing I have seen for all day, anyone up for a lunge mile?

Please read this link for a great interview with future sub 2 hour marathoner Hobie Call

To school and back, it's too cold in my lab and too hot out! White people problems!

Shoreline trail, nothing too spectacular about the run.  Maybe I'll wear a weight vest next time out.

Hot run in the evening around the Aves.

9 miles on Crescent Mine Grade and Spiro (Bottom half of Jupiter Peak Steeple course) with the PC trail runner group.  Wonderful weather out there and butt kicking climbs.

AM: Easy run around the aves before race tonight.

PM: 2 up and 2 down.

Windy and rainy, but died down right before the race.  Legs just didn't get going, didn't feel all that tired at the end but down 33 seconds after the first stage. Let's hope I can make up some ground tomorrow.

Second again, went out hard and faded after the 5k. another race at noon.

Got the win in the 5.5 mile course that was advertised at 4.8, but I didn't catch the other guy till about 4.8 so it's all good in my book.  Didn't make up enough time so I ended up second overall and received my winnings from none other than Cam MF Levins.

This race was an interesting concept, but it was a very small race and there were enough turns that it would have been difficult if I was farther back in the pack.  The last race was marked wrong which made the first "mile" 7:40 and there were quite a few other issues that would have plagued a larger race.  I think if they expand the concept with more types of running (half mile prologue on the track? climbing awards?) and fix the course issues it could grow into a pretty good race.

My garmin was messed up today so no splits or fun info today :(
