I had a 3.5 mile race this morning. Sometimes you have a 30 second PR (last week) and sometimes you crash and burn! That would be today. The first mile was wierd in that I could not catch my breath. My wife says it may be allergies which I have noticed more in the last few years. It was also hot 75+ but this race has the BEST shirts of any race that I run with the exception of Disney. Anyway, I still finished in 29:01 which is better than last year but not a course best.

Even when it is not great, it's still better than being fat! ;)

Anyway, what are you doing today?

I did my longest run yet today - 7.12 miles!

I was totally dragging ass at about mile 5, so I made a pit stop and found a water fountain and finished it out. There were a few breaks thrown in there, but I'm okay with that. I'm going to have to figure out this mid-run hydration business on these longer runs.

Breaking the 7 mile mark really made it seem like a half marathon is possible for me....I'm already signed up but I definately thought I was going to be getting dragged over the finish line but now I'm pretty sure I'm going to be running over it!! :)

Today was an easy 4 miler today, followed by a 2-mile walk with the dogs at the Humane Society. Some of my favorites have fortunately found families to love them, so now I have to make new friends.

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
