Personal:

I am a former runner who took the sport back up about 3 1/2 years ago. In the preceeding 20+ years I was a 2 pack a day smoker and the only excercise I recieved was summer softball. Needless to say; it was time for a change.

Not realy a race but more a time trial.  I ran a 1/2 marathon on this course last year and enjoyed it so much I decided to do irt again this year.  Sadly, the race was not scheduled again.  This is an interesting course.  First half is super flat and fast.  I averaged 6:40's for the first 7 befor the hills started and kicked my butt!  There are 2 realy tough hills. The one at mile 7 is 3/4 of a mile long and steep, and the one at mile 12.  The one at twelve is shorter but steeper.  You feel like you're walking as you climb it.  Good news is I found a second gear for the final mile and finished up with a 6:08.  Surprised myself.  No negative split here today.  I obviously need some more hill work.

Easy recovery run today. The calfs were pretty soar after Sunday but loosened up nicely during todays run. Busy day at work kept me from hydrating properly. I need to find the time on these busy days to properly fuel my body.
