Thought I could run faster. Went out with Mark Wittland and hung onto him for about 3 miles in 6:13/6:15/6:13 (5K in 19:20) but felt like I was working way too hard way too early. Then the wheels came off: 6:30/6:48/6:50/1:25(6:26). Disappointing. Maybe I was tired from a lot of miles this week but a step backwards from Chiller on a perfect Lake Manawa day. Should have just slowed down and run with Abby K-E who finished right behind me and I'm sure ran much more even splits. Worked hard so I guess I'll take that.
  • PixieNinja PixieNinja Have you had your Hemoglobin checked? It's always good to rule out low iron. Regardless great race!!

Group workout at Mercer. 3 mile warm up (2 at home) in 27:25, 8 miles sustained hard effort, 3 mile cool down in 28:28. Ran with Chris D and P Doon which helped keep me mentally focused. Mercer to St Tims and back plus loops around Mercer.

8:32, 8:20, 7:32, 7:53, 8:09, 7:21, 7:55, 7:41. Plenty of uphill and downhill portions so effort was more even than mile splits.

Usual 60 min strength workout at Y. Usual 40 min stretching routine at home.

Started with more energy than I've had in a while. Ended feeling beat up. Just what I needed.

Last 2.75 miles were tough. Stopped for water & gels at 11.25 & 17.25. Wonder-Wife must have read my mind and left for Runza right when I got home. After a shower we're off to Kearney for some more 3rd grade girls basketball. Last tournament.

Dropped from the 50k to the 20 miler. Started suffering pretty good around mile 12. I kept thinking that maybe I should drop. I was already working too hard climbing the hills and it wasn't getting easier. I made the decision to drop around mile 17. I finished and found out the guy I was chasing that I thought was the 50k leader turned out to be the 20 mile leader. I was a bit defeated at that point. I had been chasing him and working too hard and I was actually leading the race. Oh well. I'm happy with the training run. I'll use it as a learning experience.
  • Dan Dan Great race Justin!

Well. Thank heavens that's done. This happened because running with Carolyn one day, I happened to mention my hours on the stairmill and next thing you know, Ivan Marsh is calling me. Ok, he wins. I don't. Anyway, dreaded this. But, I did it. Thanks to them for telling me I could. :)

Started terribly wrong. Like running. That ended at floor 6. Then did the two hands on the inner railing. Pulled myself along. Swimming saved me. Hit somewhat of a stride 10-30. 30-40 just sucked ass. My lungs about burst and it felt like a knife was driving through my heart. It was swell. Now I know what I'm doing. Next year. I will do better.

Have a great Saturday. It's beautiful.

And if I'm not being lied to, I am pretty sure that today is the Godfatha's BDay. Have a most excellent one, G. :)

Just couldn't find the passion, desire, or the "kill or be killed" attitude needed for this race. Placed 9th in this race 2 years ago with a 5:38, 30 seconds difference this year... 9th to 46th in 30 seconds. What a difference 30 seconds makes. I say i won't do this race anymore, but I will.
