AM: Easy 5 untimed on the Planet Walk. Dark. Lousy daylight savings. Messes up the mornings. Took inventory of body parts during the run. No major issues. No soreness, only fatigue.

PM: Ran to Paul's house and ran just over 3 miles with him.  Dropped him off at the gym and ran some more miles on the TOU course.  Nice and sunny today. 9.5 miles - 7:30 ave

AM: Same old 5 miler in the morning. Slow and tired. Pretty uneventful.

PM: 7.25 with Jon and Paul. Checked out Jon's new house.  Nice setup.  He will be only 1/3 mile away now.  Legs still dead.

Striders 10 Miler

Its gotta be the hardest 10 mile course out there. Fun stuff. Coming off two weekends of races, I wasn't ready mentally and physically to bust out a big one. I have mixed feelings about the result for me, but I think I performed as expected.

The race started out very conservative for the first few miles, so I was able to run my pace. Someone, I didn't recognize took off from the gun and dusted all of us. Other than him, it was Adam and Walter in the first chase pack, then Jon, Chad, Ben and myself in the third.

5:57 (165) first mile. Like I said, conservative

5:32 (173) Mile 2. Big downhill

5:48 (177) Mile 3. Still hanging with the same group. Adam and Walter about 30? seconds ahead.

6:01 (176) Mile 4. Fun is about to begin

6:42 (176) Mile 5. Climbing, losing ground to everyone but Ben. I put about 5 seconds on him here. He was my main motivation, very helpful.

6:46 (176) Mile 6. Lost more time to everyone.

7:21 (176) Mile 7. Last major hill. Destroyed me. I was sliding on the ice too. Major fatigue set in and I shut it down. I went from a race mentality to survival mentality. I really should have pushed it more here, but couldn't.

5:19 (174) Mile 8. Big downhill finally. Re-grouped and focused on trying to catch Chad (as he was the only one in sight). Secondary goal was to not let Ben catch me either.

5:47 (174) Mile 9 Some up, some down. All alone, and whining to myself. Not closing on Chad at all.

6:05 (176) Mile 10 The hill in this mile was super hard. Sapped all that was left in the legs. Sections of the last mile were pretty slippery and it made it hard to pick it up. Chad was out of reach, Ben was safely behind, so it was a cruise into the finish kick.

Great Results from the Blog. 2,3,4,5,6. Jon had the what I deem the best race of the bunch. Walter ran well considering how well he ran Moab. Good Job bloggers.

T-(Official) 1:01:21 (6:08) 174 ave 181 max

On another good note, it was an improvement of 1:40 over last year.

Warmup/cooldown = 6.5 miles
