Stepping Stones 10k race

Great run. PR and one of my yearly goals.... to run sub 1-hour 10K. Kevin went down with an injury just past the 4 mile marker. I kept running and came back for him, after I finished. We went out too fast .... again, and held the pace most of the way. We were on perfect time at the 5k mark. Did some great negative splits on the second half and added two walk breaks, both at water stations. The run went well and I still had some juice left at the end. Sub-55 minute might be in my furture?? We'll see. Probably not till fall.

Terlingua LP race

I started out WAY TOO FAST. I never really recovered. My splits were positive till lap 11, then the last three were negative, but only by a few seconds. I placed second in Clydesdales (second out of three??). I won a 20 dollar gift certificate to Becks Prime and a gift certificate of an antique LP. I felt horrible. The weather was nice, but the fast start ruined the race for me. I met Jon Walk, which I'm sure will be a nice running connection.

Bellaire Trolley 5k

Great weather for run. I ran with Alison on her 1 mile jog, before my run. This was unexpected, but worked out great. Kevin and I pushed as hard as we could. I have a new 5K PR! Only shaved 30 seconds, but I'll take it. I started walking at about 2.5 miles. Kevin caught up to me within 20 seconds and we finished together. The race was very congested during the first half mile. I was blocked in numerous times and was forced to jump onto the median and run, till I passed the slower traffic. Great food spread after the race.

Later we went to the deer lease to pick up our feeders. When we got back, we measured his new running trail with my Foreman 301. The course was exactly 3.0 miles. We ran the course VERY SLOW. Felt both good and bad. Glad to end the day with some mileage.
