Another all-time high: 185.75 (up from Aug: 183.6). Not bad, considering I’ve been tapering for nearly two weeks!
Tomorrow starts “marathon month”…

..so my Columbus registration form is in the mail.
I spoke with the executive director today, and he offered me complementary entry. It’s the week between Steamtown and Detroit, so I don’t know if it’s smart to run or not, but I figured that I might as well register, I can always not show up..

Interesting, today on the run Meredith said my name wasn’t listed on the Indian Run 10K listings. So I took another look today: I’m on the overall 10K listing, but not in the age group category. What the heck? So I emailed Premier Races. It doesn’t make sense that I’m listed on one page but [...]

Today I met up with Meredith, Mike and Doug for 16. We planned to loop around and end up at the lake for 13 (all Mike was doing) and then I’d stop at 16, and Meredith and Doug would do 20. It had been a long time since Meredith and I ran together, so [...]

10K – 15K Race
Rather than actually racing, I’d made plans to run with Bridget, and told her I wanted to do a 7:30 pace. That would be ‘easy’ for her
Woke up this morning to a thunderstorm. I HATE running in the rain, but I didn’t have Bridget’s number to call and cancel, [...]
