I went to SJ park and ran with the BB runners and we did 4x 5k runs with rest in between. Did my first at a warm up pace. 2nd was a 19 minute 5k. 3rd was 22. 4th was 17. No cool down as I had to do the carpool thing for school.

As always, nice run. Hope your situation with work is improving generally.

From Jody on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 12:10:03

Nice job today! It was great to have you back.

From Jody on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 12:10:33

Is your sleep time for real? If so I am sorry:(

From Michelle N. on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 13:40:35

Great job Walter. I hope everything goes better with work. Remember-This too shall pass:)

From Kelli on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 14:48:50

Really, 17??? WOW!! You are truly amazing.

Here is the plan. Tell the jerk that you will race him to resolve the problem. The winner gets 21k. Sound good?

From Walter on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 21:29:48

Thanks Paul, I will hopefully get through it. What happens today doesnt usually affect me until 1 to 2 months from now. So it gives me a chance to try and make up instantly.

Jody, I love running with you gals and guys. I feel like Benny Hill some days! lol Yes that is my real sleep time and my wife can attest to it! I tried everything last night, I even tried showering and it didnt help. Except for the stinky part. lol

Michelle, Amen to that! I always tell myself that something good is about to happen because ive got to go through all this first.

Kelli, I was actually hoping for a 16 and change with the course being .05 shorter. But that head wind and no pressure from behind made me slow down. JK! you guys pushed me. I was happy to see you two come in right behind! I swear, Im prophesying now that Scott will be able to break 3 hours soon! I can feel it!

Way to run this morning! I didn't even run my 1 5K in any of those times. I feel super slow! Way to be a carpool dad too. That's awesome

From Walter on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 21:52:52

Thanks Camille, you are not slow! just challenged! lol jk, you have to start somewhere and your where is a good start!

From Kelli on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 21:57:08

Walter the prophet! Well, we may not have been pushing you from behind, but we didn't bring up the rear for a change (only cause everyone else was running marathon pace and Scott and I were having a race).

Seriously, Scott could be good. The more muscle he drops, the faster he gets.

He called me and said, "I dunno what I think about a skinny guy like Walter telling me I have lost weight!!" It is a touchy subject, but it is really helping him to run better.

From Walter on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 22:03:16

Oh kelli, that is hilarious! Tell him he's going to be a lean mean running machine here soon! The extra muscle just helps trust me.
