Great run this morning for the 5th Anual Abraham Lincoln Run. Had a great group of about 30-40 people. Thanks to Red Mt. Spa for having the shuttles take us up to the start.

Nice steady pace most of the way. Got dropped by Clyde and Dave on both hills and had to play catch-up. Once again my stomach started acting up again towards the end of the run. I need to figure something out with that.

Overall it was a great run - and fun seeing everyone else come in at the end. - Oh, and you can't forget the soak in the stream after!

AM - Dixie Center Run with the club. Painter's course around Bloomington hills to Bloomington and Back to the DC.

Just wasn't my day today - I had to stop at 6 for a VPB and just couldn't get my stomach to calm down after that. Had a little bit of nausea and decided to cut the run short. Was planning on 15 - I did 11.

My soleus is SO JACKED!

This is a new "old man P.R." for me. The last time I did this race in 2009 I think I ran a 1:19. So, I'm definitely making some nice gains. However, I really was hoping to be under 1:15 and had I been looking at my watch I probably could have pulled out 7 seconds - but not much more.

I started off with a 1 mile warm-up. I was hoping to get 3 miles in but I didn't give myself enough time.

1-5:37 - Took off pretty strong, and really started to notice my HR just jump. I think it was a mixture of not getting warmed-up enough and the Alt.

2-5:58 - Heading up the hill my HR was still feeling out of control and I was trying to get myself relaxed and calmed down. About 1.5 miles in Jon Kotter and Nathan Ogden came flying by like we were all standing still.

3-5:20 - Started to get into a rhythm - which is easy going down hill. Finally got into a grove and got my HR down.

4-5:20 - Up to this point I was running with Zak James and Travis Taylor but started to let them gain on me a bit. I really didn't want to go much faster down the hill.

5-5:25

6-5:27 - Soleus started getting tight.

7-5:44- Up the little hill before Tropic. Just tried focusing on my form and ignore my Calves.

8-5:58 - Started to struggle, I pretty much did so the remainder of the race.

9-6:06

10-5:57

11-5:56

12-6:02

13-5:57- Got passed by Jon Armour and tried to go with him, but I was hurting pretty bad.

13.1-5:32pace

After the race it was great hanging out and chatting with all the other runners.

I've spent some good time massaging the legs and trying to get these calves taken care of. I'm just hurting bad.

AM - met up with the club at the DC and drove up to Coral Canyon to run back. I was not feeling well from about mile 3 on. I'm not sure if I had a bug in me our the humidity was just making me be a sissy. Ran most of the way with Aaron and Logan. It was cool hearing about Logan's win at the GG 50k. At about 11 miles I started to get get dropped by Aaron and still wasn't feeling too good so I cut back to the DC w/ logan to make it 14. After that I slowed a bit and ran 2 miles back to get Kendra and another 2 miles with her to the DC. For 18 miles. It really wasn't a great day for me.  But, had some good  company - which always makes it a bit better.
