AM-My body woke me up very early this morning, (Went to bed at 9 pm..) and so I stepped out at dawn to do my "gas tank emptying run." Sounds a bit crazy huh..? But it works for me and it didn't even feel too bad all though I could tell I did some serious mileage yesterday.  Out to JRT and back at an easy 7-8/min mile pace.  Most miles at 7:30-8/min pace.

Aerobic run of 10 miles with 5 miles at sub six minute pace. 6 miles at 6:45-7/min pace.  Hills.   Fft Union and Cottonwood area.   Carb loading every 3-4 hrs yesterday and today seemed to help dramatically.

Yowza! Thats like the worst time I have run in a long while! LOL!   I won't make excuses, all I will say is I didn't feel good to start this morning and the course was very honest.  I went out with with Mike Vick  for the first while and kept each other company but I could tell it just wasn't going to be my day. I came in behind him about 2.5 min or so, not sure what his exact time was as he told me it was 1:16 and change.   Backed off for the rest of the race and held 6/min-6:20 pace or so until the end.   I know where I am going wrong with the training I think and have already changed some things, including slowing down my daily runs.  I'm just not getting full recovery from them.   

On a more positive note though I was pretty impressed with the size and organization of the event, good logistics, food was good and plentiful and was just overall well organized especially for it's size and being in it's first year too.  It was a nice charity event to help support the recently constructed prehistoric museum.  Another big plus was the 250 clams I got for second place, that definitely helps things right now.   Anyway I'm feeling a bit bummed about the time I got so I'm going to stop writing now, take a nap and then hopefully study for a bit later.  Darkhorse out..
