Oops long run

Well I finally found out that the 10 mile loop that I have been doing is actually 10.3 miles so I have been doing .3 miles extra every Sunday run up to this point. Which means my 10 mile splits are off so my fastest is probably more around 1:12 rather than 1:14 or even faster. O well atleast I know now. So just add .3 to all sunday runs.

15.3 miles today

Time: 1 hour 57 minutes 54 seconds

Felt good though lil tired but good.

Did it pretty early like 4. I did 4 miles.

Felt really loose. Neck is ok just the shoulder and right arm. Cant lift anything.

AM Run MP

Did not run last night cuz I was still in pain and decided to just give it a rest and see if it helped.

Woke up this morning feeling a lot better than I did the day before. My neck does not hurt as much.

So I started out just going for 4 miles and I was like half a asleep and then I decided its not hot out Im going for all 8. So I decided that around 2 miles already in and then just double backed a bunch of times to get 8 off of a 4 mile distance. I have been doing that a lot lately keeps longer runs less boring.

Time: 59:26

Shoulder feels tight but neck feels good.

BOILERMAKER 15K 9.3 MILE RACE

For some reason it wont let me put a title damn computer.

Well ran the boilermaker this morning at 8.

It was amazing so much free stuff and amazing support.

11,000 runners showed up and over 40,000 fans supporting them along the street playing music, dancing, volunteering, signs, and anything you can imagine.

I had a slow seed time cuz I registered a long time ago so I was ranked in the 4th corrall number 1640 and thats how it was seeded. So I was behind 1600 ppl at the start. By the finish I was 350 and time wise since it took me 40 seconds to get to the start finish line put me 335th place out of 11,000 runners.

59:41 was my official time.

My friend Zach was seeded in the 600s and finished after me and Andrea, Sandy, and Elise all ran well. A lot of section 2 runners. I would have to say out of the top 500 I recognized 200 from section 2 alone where I run. There were about 20 in the top 100 and they have pros so like Kenyans, USA, and any other country had runners too so they were right up there. The highest person was Seamus Nally 23rd about 47 something runs for Cortland. There were a couple other Cortland and Geneseo runners. There were a few Burnt Hill girls runners Meghan and Sam. Saratoga had the Goutos brother and sister in the top 100. It was sweet though.

Felt amazing cant wait to go back.

AM Run

Felt mad good this morning. Everything went well. Through in some strides to just be ready for tomorrow morning. Really excited and pumped.

4 miles
Time: 30:40

Traveling the rest of today so race tomorrow woot woot!

Friday, July 6, 2007

Am Run

Woke up with legs that were so tired from running at 8 something last night. So badly tired.

6 miles
Time: 47:24

Its really humid and hot out just like race day will be too. The knee felt a lil weird at the beginning but I am not running this afternoon cuz I need the swelling in my ankels to go down from all the bug bites so it should help. I gotta run a short run tomorrow morning and then Im traveling and all that good stuff and then the race Sunday woot woot. I guess my friends Zach, Andrea, Elise, and Sandy are all running it too. A lot of section 2 runners ran it last year like Shamus Nally in 50 something minutes RJ Sniffen in 56 something Adam Harding in 51 something and a couple of Cortland runners that used it as a training run and did it around an hour and five minutes. Plus Catallano will be there and that girl is blazing and Brina broke an hour also and Zach was a minute and some seconds short so it will be fun.

PM RUn

Started out a bit slow out about 17:20 and then came back in 13:20. Had to beat the thunderstorm I was in for the last half mile. Felt good though.

Time: 30:41 Ran 4 miles

4th of July and AM Run

Had 4th of July up with the Bakers.

For being up there all day and playing football, baseball, basketball, and riding little cars I would have to say it was about 4 miles or work cuz I was exhausted and that was before it rained and stormed from 2 until this morning.

I did 6 miles this morning.
Time: 43:42

I found out I have about 30 mosquito bites on my right ankel and bout 20 on my left ankel. They swelled up when I ran. So I will run this afternoon but in order to be able to run again Im only gonna be able to run once tomorrow before my feet swell up so I cant run plus Boilermaker on Sunday so Im hoping.

Wednesday, July 4, 2007

AM RUn

Did 4 miles.

Time: 31:28

Really tired. Going to be traveling and heading places all day and night so a later run is doubtful.

Tuesday, July 3, 2007

PM Run

Nice outside not too hot with a nice breeze. Did 6 miles.

Time: 44:40

Felt loose and a little bit tired toward the beginning and thats it.

AM Run

Found a lil detour for a 4 mile run so it involves less stress on the body in the first mile. It seems to work. I was really relaxed the entire time and the legs still felt Sundays run but its starting to move out of the system.

Time: 30:53

Monday, July 2, 2007

Exhausted AM Run

Time: 33:42

Absolutely utterly exhausted for this 4 mile run. I have come to figure out anything over like 9 miles that I run I am exhausted and not recovered for the next 2-3 days. Same with races I dont recover until 3 days later. I might want to look into it.
