I went to the olympic oval and did an easy run of 6 miles 22 laps on there oversized track. I did a 400 yard run at marathon pace x 2.  It was excrutiating! It felt like my 4th leg of the ragnar relay!  That 11 hour drive was sooo long!  I got a nice little cold from James thank you very much! I think hes trying to thin out the moab competition! jk anyways ive been doubling up on vitamin c and throat lozenges. Thank you lybi for the cough drops!  Well Ive got to sweat out this cold so its off to bed!

Swam this morning. 2x300 meters. 1x200 meter. Felt very tired. I will run this evening.

I ran 7 miles this evening. the last 2 miles I did at a marathon pace. I couldnt get to a 5:30 mile like I wanted to. I averaged 6:30 miles and the last 2 miles were 5:52 and 6:05. I feel a bit of congestion coming on and I felt extremely tired.  Im still taking a ton of vitamin c's and some glucosamine for my knee.

By the way, I had a eye appointment which has been 5 years in the making. Ive been having some dry eye problems. So I got my eyes dilated and couldnt see worth a crap after.  I had my darkest set of sunglasses on and was running a blurry 7 miles. I could only make out the white line. Ill bet motorists thought I was a drunk runner or something!

I met up with Cody and Logan at the start. I attempted a warmup at a very slow pace and my lungs felt aweful.  I started out alot slower than last year, but it seamed like the competition was alot slower this year so it helped me.  Logan caught up to me after a few miles and gave me a good pace until mile nine when he kicked into gear and showed me whats up. He got a 3 minute gap in the last 4 miles on me. I honestly dont know how he does it.

Mile 1-5.21, 2-5.31 3-5.41, 4-5.51, 5-5.48, 6-5.41, 7-5.47, 8-5.46, 9-5.56, 10-6, 11-5.25, 12-5.58, 13-5.46

13th overall 2nd in age 1:16:04

It was a time that I was shooting for considering the weekend I had last week. I felt good about my time even though Logan left me in the dust like that! Unbelieveable! Nice going Logan, and Cody. We looked good at the start and by the way Cody Im sorry for taking the glory of the photo at the start. Next time is yours!
