      Yikes! Glad you were able to finish the run.
      I've never run this race. What is the course like? The elevation map doesn't look so bad!

    good Fartleks on East 6.46 mi 01:07 10:17 pace

    This should be the last of the hard speed workouts before the Running of the Bulls 8K June 1st. Temps hovered in the 70s and we had lots of cloud clover - made this a little easier. The plan was a ... read more

    There was enough of a break in the thunderstorms to get this in. Super muggy, and lots of bugs, but still a nice run.

    Monday run on the Al Buehler Trail. I was able to talk Lori C. into switching it up and making it an out and back (which means a pretty long climb at the end). Perfect weather for running, sun and ... read more

    alright Short Progressive Run 5.03 mi 00:48 09:27 pace

    This was tough. I'm in the height of speed training right now, and I think two speed workouts a week is getting to me. Warm-up, three progressive miles (8:59, 8:51, 8:43), cool-down.

    Tuesday group speedwork. Today's plan was warm-up, 4x800s with recoveries, if we were up to it 2x400s with recoveries, cool-down. Our group was assigned a 4 minute 800, with a 4 minute recover... read more

    tired Attempted 2.28 mi 00:29 12:31 pace

    I tried to run, I really did, but my legs felt heavy, my shins hurt, and I just felt like poop. So, after about a mile and a half I turned it around and headed back home.

    Humid run on the trails, but still enjoyable. I ran into a few friendly faces out there. I also heard the loudest bull frogs I've ever heard before!
