| Ran the 15 miler on Saturday. I was trying for around 6 min pace, and was ok on the first 5 mile loop, but then my legs started to feel the race from a week ago. And I was running the last 10 miles completely alone - no one in sight in front or behind me. It was like a time trial, not a race. I kept trying to click the miles away. My legs were hurting quite a bit but I wanted to finish strong. Unfortunately with 2 miles to go, my throat kind of locked up on me and I couldn't breathe for a few seconds. I stopped and just about passed out. But I collected myself after a minute and started going after I saw the guy who was behind me coming up. I finished feeling ok but my throat hurt for the rest of the day. I didn't know what happened. It was pretty strange.
5 mile split - 30:46 10 mile split - 1:02:15 15 miles - 1:36:26 (14 second PR)
Never felt worse about a PR. Two days later and my legs are still sore. Lesson learned: don't race a 15 miler a week after racing a half. Now I need to heal up for my half on Thanksgiving.

| Same route as yesterday. I feel like I've lost so much fitness or maybe running always feels this way. I was going to a 8 but turned around after 3 because my heart rate didn't feel right. I opted to play things safe today. My legs are coming back. Just in time to trash them again on Thanksgiving I hope.

| lots of honey dos this weekend and I thought I might skip the run, but I managed to sneak in an hour. I actually felt good again. I'm not sure what's going on the past few days but I'm not complaining. I put together a few routes to make a new one. that might have helped. Plus the weather is awesome - mid 60's and sunny.

| wanted to do 5 to keep the legs fresh but taking the day off to let the back of my knee rest up. Spent lots of time going to the expo and the mall. The expo takes 30 minutes, but the mall and the driving took FOREVER.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!
The race didn't go very well. I went out at 1:20 pace and really felt bad from the start. My big worry, my left leg, felt ok it turned out. I was on pace through 5 but I really wanted to stop running after 2. I couldn't do that so I just kept getting slower and slower and slower. I came in at 39:xx for the 10K split and things got worse from there. I don't know what the deal was. I felt good the week before and on Monday. I took Tues and Wed. off for my leg issue but that shouldn't affected me to much. For most of the race, the air was very thick with humidity, 95% and foggy, which I don't deal with very well. Maybe that had something to do with it. Either way, I'll not worry too much about it. The new course this year was pretty good. They ran us on a loop course starting and finishing at Turner Field. It hit most of the neighborhoods in the Atlanta downtown/midtown area. There were some flat areas and some hilly areas that made it an honest challenge but not horribly so.
Despite the bad race for me, the day was really fun. My family met me afterward and we watched a lot of the people finishing while we waited for my sis-in-law to finish. The weather turned out to be perfect, low 70's and sunny so it was really nice to just sit and watch. Afterward we headed to sis-in-laws place for Thanksgiving feasting and football watching.
