running 1:55:00 [3]

OK's 4th annual MOP run (street O' in Lawrence). I decided to do the 2 hour category rather than the 3 hour. In prior years (when there hasn't been an option - all did 3 hours), I've suffered for the next few days. I think the pounding on pavement is the cause. So, two hours seemed about right.

I started ok and felt fine for about 70 minutes. Then I started feeling off for maybe 10 minutes. Then I struggled to make my way back to the start/finish. I really died. Heat? Sun?

Later in the day, I felt really worn out. Feet sore, too.

We got a decent turnout (including a LJ World photograher).

Easy cycling. Tomorrow will be about 2 (or maybe 3?) hours on pavement.

running 50:00 [2]

Jogging at PNS on the way home from work.

We had some rain and cool temps today -- the high was probably 82. Though it was humid.

running 15:00 [4]

5 x 3 minutes with 3 minutes easy (a bit of walking and then easy jogging) as rest.

When I began the first one, I heard a voice behind me -- "hey Mike, is that you?"

At first, I feared it was "lazy Spike" (who certainly would have talked me in to taking it much easier and going for an ice cream on the way home).

It turned out to be Bruce Duffin. Bruce ran the intervals with me. It was nice to have some company. It probably made me go a bit harder for the first couple.

Another very easy day.

It'll be interesting to see how it goes tomorrow. Will everything be fine? Will "the lazy Spike" show up?

running 1:00:00 [2]

Jogging on the trails (mostly flat) at PNS. I did 10 minutes of something like old man intervals. But, I kept the pace a little bit below an honest effort. The idea was that I should take it easy another day or two.

Another day where I feel like I feel better. Maybe I'm finally healthy?

I spent a few minutes on the trainer in the basement. I'll try to run tomorrow.

Am I well yet? I'm not quite. I did a little time on the trainer.

The highlight of the day was meeting up with the RAAM riders (shuttling Dave to the crew and getting Sandy to the airport). It was very inspiring to see those guys.
