ohhhh

ohhhhh, my legs ache today.  Not good, they are all tight and sore.

Well tonight I have the 1st of 4 Pace group runs that I am leading in prep for the race on the 27th.  We will run the actual route from start to finish.  Not sure how I am going to run today, probably all out if I know me, the course is very hilly and there is a killer hill at about mile 2.5.  More on this later on tonight along with course details.

Getting Ready for the Count Down

Had a good run tonight, not as fast as some people I follow but was good for me.
The time of the day was a little bit of an issue.  When I left out from the church it got dark faster than I had anticipated.  I did bring along my little friend the Guardian Safety Light but still had several close calls on the way.

The route was good.  First 2 miles are an up and down, mostly down stretch followed by the next 2+ miles of Up, Up, Up hill to my finish.  Splits were good and steady.

Race on the 27th so I will keep on pushing.  I'm a little worried about my hamstrings though, tonight they are cramping up and yesterday they tightened up in between my two runs.......Oh well, only time can tell what will happen.

Actual Mile Splits
Mile 1: 7:01
Mile 2: 7:01
Mile 3: 8:00
Mile 4: 7:41

Check out the route.

ok, I know it has been forever since I have posted but it has been a busy week.  Updates to come soon I promise!  Plus results of the Old School Aquathon #3!
