This week is spring break and my wife and I took off M-W.  Unfortunately it hasn't been good for my running.  It just hasn't worked out.  Monday we shut down Six Flags and then we went to the mall all day yesterday(which we never do so the kids like it).  My legs feel refreshed and I had a decent run today.

15K this weekend should be very informative as to my fitness level.  I have no idea what the course is like, so I REALLY don't know what to expect.

Felt kind of poopy and not mentally into the race today.  I ran the 3.5 miles to the race and never got into it, like I usually do.  I don't know for sure why.  I almost didn't even start because I felt so out of it.  But I started and ran mostly 6:30s.  It is a hard core course, with one giant hill repeated twice and several mini giants repeated as well.  So without my head really into the race, I didn't have a chance for a decent race.  

But I hung on and races the guy who won the masters division for 7.5 or so.  But I had nothing and just hung on after that. I did win a nice mug for winning my age group at least. 

on to my 50K next weekend.  I can't be a wuss for that one.
