Cold run this morning but felt good to be on the road.  Went the parkway with Bum and enjoyed the chit chat.  (Triumph 5-B:  106.2)

Well it was nice and chilly this morning.  Got there early to see Carrie start the 9K.  Was good to see many friends out braving the elements.  Chatted with Mayor Ken while waiting for the half to start.

I really haven't prepared much so it was just going to be a nice and easy day with no real goals in mind.  It's just part of the training schedule to give me some motivation to train in between events. 

Started out real good and gave many high fives to all the peeps doing the 9K when we passed them.  The wind was a little discouraging but that was just going to be there so I had to make due.  I don't feel like analyzing each mile as it is not that important to me right now.  What is important is that I was able to handle the distance without complete breakdown. 

 The first stretch of 4 miles went fairly well and the pace was steady and the legs felt pretty good.

The next stretch of 4 took it's toll as there were a couple of climbs that slowed me down - was nice to seem some familiar faces racing hard.

Felt pretty good coming back from the Dam road turnaround, love that downhill.

Mentally the last few miles were tough as that long stretch of fields road seemed to go on forever. 

I enjoyed the finish and was happy to get a long run in today.  Feeling a little sore but that is to be expected given the amount of training.  Chocolate milk was a nice touch in the finisher feed zone.
