Like Gazelle, I made a real last minute decision to run this one. After three bowls of cereal and a big cup of coffee, I decided to give this one a go. Warmed up with Shara, Gazelle, and Matthew for about a mile and determined that the wind would factor into the first half of today's race. After seeing my parents and their boxers, it was go time. 1.5 out, 1.5 back..as expected, running into the wind down and with it at our backs for the ride home. I crossed the line in 17:02..on the slow side, but considering my intentions for the day, I'll take. Shara won the women's race in 4th overall at 20:24. Coolest part of the entire race was having Gazelle, Matthew, and Shara round out the top 4. Nice post race spread and a $25 gift card to Paddy's that is going straight to my Summer '14 Fun Account.

Friday-pm: 20 minute swim at Y. Did some chores and ran 3 easy miles with Lulu. Tired and sore.
Saturday-4.5 miles of slogging aimlessly on local roads in the humidity. I ended up running faster than I intended..guess it's not the worse thing in the world. Spent a good chunk of the rest of the day working on my lawn.
