Lovely cool morning for a race.  I hadn't had the best week on the running front.  I've been suffering with allergies, and legs have felt lifeless.  However, felt good during my warm up, and decided to "go for it" in the first couple of miles, and then see what I had left in the tank.  I was very consistent, and all of my miles were wtihin 5 seconds of each other.  I didn't quite pull off a PR, but I was close, and given all that has happened of late I will take it!

Easy run ont he trail as coach didn't want us doing the hill workout after the race.  Probably wise as wanted to see how my foot was doing.  I'd put my foot in a small pot hole during the race.  It hurt for a second, but then was fine.  Started hurting that evening until I could barely walk.  However, took some ibuprofen and then it was fien the next morning.  All a bit strange really.

Poor run today.  However, I was a bit emotionally drained.  War, up then 2 miles at 10K pace, and then a cool down.  Had hoped for more, but you get what you can take sometimes.

This was supposed to be 3 mile warm up, 10 a MGP, and then a 1 mile cool down.  Alas the humidity got to me, and I started to badly overheat so had to shut it down after just 4 1/2 faster miles.  Oh well, roll on the cool weather ;o)
