Hangin' Loose

Rest again.  Feeling better now.

Ran just 2 loops today.  Felt good to finally get out and run,  Ran them around 8 min pace.  And felt ok.   Did feel a bit off today though.  Will hit it longer tomorrow.

Total time 24:17

Ran a good run today.  Went and hit the park again.  Was nice weather.  Ran this mostly by feel.  With the first ones slower and picked it up for the last mile as I like to do it.  Uneventful for the most part.  Feeling good coming into this race on Sat.

rest day

Took today off from work to get ready for the trip down and the race.  Went out and did 3 miles tried to keep them slower.  But didnt work as well as I hoped for.  Mid mile was alot faster then I wanted and but pulled the last mile back up into the 8s.  And felt really good to the end of it.  Was try to focus on my strides and form.  I am getting so pumped up for this race.  I need to get a bunch of small things done tonight and so I can be ready for it.

Well I wasnt able to hit my goal of BQing at this one.  Had to make 2 pit stops at mile 6 and again at 12.  Losing about 5-7 mins time.  So I just tried to make the best of it without cramping till the end.  And so Splits were good till the PoP visit and fought off some mean deamons as my time slipped away.  I am happy though that I was able to run the grand slam and finish it.  I had my doubts.  But as for next yr I hope to get into SG without having to run it.  And being better prepared for it.  Now I can start working on getting recovered and ready to do build up more milage and get some speedwork in.  And such..  Sorry not much of a report right now.  Maybe next time will be the race.
