Morning workout at the gym

This is a 7 pm race. The weather this year was not quite as bad as normal but it was still "Hot and Humid". I've run this race several times and my best time was in the high 18's a few years ago. If my memory serves me well it had rain that day to cool things off and was still cloudy at race time.

  Ok to the down and dirty. I ran just about the race I wanted to with the exception of mile 3 which has a huge hill that kicked my tail this year. I tried to save a little going up the hill with the hopes of making up time after I got over the top which has a slight decline down to the finish line. I did pick the pace up and had my sights set on picking off the guy in front of me but before I could a guy picked me off, Dang it I hate when that happens. I did end up picking off the guy and was closing the gap on the guy that passed me but ran out of time and he beat me by 5 seconds. It just happened that he was in my age group which made it that much worse. All in all I can't complain but you always feel like you could have done a little better.

Rest day from running but I did hit the trail for some mountain biking. I turned a 58:45 loop which is my best time in a few years.
