    tired SLEDGEHAMMER...of tired 5.2 mi 00:40 07:41 pace

    Nothing hurts, but I feel like the fatigue of the last month-and-a-half of races plus exam week (and I have all seniors) has finally caught up with me. Did 40 minutes instead of an hour. Despite ... read more

    RUN
    great Can't Leave Out Hound 1 mi

    After I ran alone, Hound Dog looked sad. So I put on her light-up leash and took her for a quick ish mile ramble as a cool down.

    great Sunset Miles 8.8 mi 01:05 07:23 pace

    After some good times with good friends (including homemade pizza-stone-grilled pizza: pesto, capers, mushrooms, spinach, feta, red pepper, and caramelized onions), I set out for my run a bit after... read more

    RUN
    great Corkscrew Hill with Alex 7.8 mi 01:30 11:32 pace

    This run was awesome despite high-80s temperatures and a gnarly headwind on the uphill portion (isn't that how it always works?) because I got to do the run with a good friend, Alex Y.

    RUN
    great w/u + c/d 1 mi

    ...look, I was trying to be good about capping it at an hour. A little warm up and cool down never hurt anyone, and I don't time them anyway.

    great What the...? 7.2 mi 01:00 08:20 pace

    Sun. A breeze. Okay, mid-high 80s is not ideal, but I felt great today. No DOMS. No soreness. I'm not afraid of stairs or downhills. Resting HR is even already back to normal this mornin... read more

    While not our most glamorous photo, I needed to post this one of me and Chandi M. She not only drove me to the race and back, but she stayed, brought me clothes, and cheered with me until everyone ... read more

    I looked much happier at the start of the race. (I was happy the whole time--just happy *and* in pain at the end.)

    Apparently, I was running sub-seven a mile at this point, coming in for the finish. That would explain why I look like everything hurts.

    I love finish face photos. Thanks to Jamie M. for the p... read more

    RUN
    great About Town with Chandi and Houdn 2.5 mi

    And, after my run, I got some wonderful company for a couple miles of rambling about town. Warmer today than I thought--Hound Dog had us stop at a few water fountains on the way.

    RUN
    great Easy Half Hour 3.4 mi 00:30 08:49 pace

    Extra easy half hour recovery to break in the new shirt and new visor from the race. I feel amazing today, considering the race yesterday. :-D

    great Playin' Possum 50K Trail Race 31.1 mi 04:30 08:40 pace

    Well...that went even better than expected. I had been told by Mark, the race director, that this course was maybe an hour faster than Mohican. I knew it would be a heck of hard run to do that, b... read more

    great Dog-a-Jog-a-Dog 6.4 mi 01:00 09:22 pace

    Well, the good news is that my legs feel fantastic today--they barely feel like I did a tempo yesterday. I guess the nice thing about having the heat gassing you is that recovery is quick, eh?
