9.25 miles in the morning.  started into little tempo section of the run but shut it down after about .25 mile.  Legs are not sore but something just didn't feel right(body was telling me it didn't need any fast running today) I did plenty of it last week.  

Goals for this week are to rest up a little and stay sharp for the summer games.

2.5 in the morning

8.0 in the evening.  had a long day at work today and feeling pretty tired.

Nothing today.  lower back is acting up a little bit, probably from yesterdays long day of conrete.

nothing today other than my usual work.

Summer games 10k. 2nd place overall 33:12.  Started out running with Garrett Stewart(Stewmyster on the blog).  I fell back a little during the 3rd mile.  Thought i could try and catch him but he was able to continue to push it and held strong to the finish.  Pretty good race for me.  only 13 seconds off my PR.

Summer Games 5K 15:38.5, first place overall and a huge PR for me.  Kind of surprised myself. Once the race got going i settled into 3rd behind Garrett and a cedar high kid(forgot his name). I focused on staying close to them so i would have a chance at the end. Caught them and and took the lead with about a half mile to go.  I was feeling pretty strong and finished well.  I am pleased with my times although i would have liked to run faster yesterday.  Running fast today makes me wonder what happened yesterday.

Splits were as follows according to Garmin.

mile 1  5:02            mile 2  5:15        mile 3  4:59       .1     :21

Once again it seemed that my watch was regestering just a little late on the mile markers and 3.08 for the race total.

Wore my saucony racers.  probably only raced in them 3 times.  The felt great, but I am just really cautious because they are light weight and light on the padding.
