Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Today started off pretty well for me.  I managed a win at the Boulevard Bolt 5 miler in Nashville.  Although, apparently my only competition was a 15 year old (see www.tnrunning.com).  He sure ran tough for the first four miles, though.  I did not realize how hard I was pushing things during the race.  But I can tell when I have really given a hard effort when my stomach does not settle down for several hours!

Hey Randy - congrats again on your win. I did not run any races yesterday morning, I am still in "recovery" mode from a half I ran a couple weeks ago. The bolt is a deceptively hardish course, there really is no "flat" part, the incline is gradual and consistent. I loved training in Percy Warner Park and the Boulevard.

Regarding the stomach thing ... I can tell when I am running 5K pace because I get this weird feeling in my stomach. I jokingly call it my "bile rhythms", the higher the feeling (not pleasant mind you) the faster I am going ;-)
