Good things... Close to even first/second half splits. 6th place overall.

Not so good things... About 12 seconds per mile slower than I thought I could run. Mile 2 was 30 seconds slower than mile 1 and I didn't feel like I slowed down.

Odd things... Passed a guy at 2.5 miles right in front of the house I grew up in and then didn't see another runner the rest of the race.

Legs felt thrashed after yesterday. Waited for the radar to clear then went out for an easy ride. Had to wear underlayers for the first time this year. I was afraid I wore too much, but felt about right at the end. Never worried about pace. Just kept the cadence up in the gear just below where I felt muscles pulling.

Wore out from yesterday and all I did was navigate. Great time again like always. Good to see lots of friends during and after. Sucessful day for Team Money Bags thanks to my teammates, 8:53:36, 22nd overall, 6th division. Came home to some light rain, really need to mow the yard, just waiting it out.

Congrats to all M2M racers! Looking forward to reading the recaps!

Nice run to usher in taper time for the next 2 weeks before Toronto. Early on into the run, I spotted a guy on the Kerry Pedestrian Bridge with a Boston marathon shirt and headband. Didn't recognize him initially, but he recognized me--WARRIOR JOE, who I hadn't seen forever! Had a nice visit with him...he recently completed his first half Ironman, with plans for a full Ironman next year! If you didn't know this, Joe is also a Ralston boy to boot!

Song of the day: "Night Fades Away" by Nils Lofgren. It was one year ago today that Nils very kindly honored my request of this song at his concert at the Fox Theatre in Tucson, AZ and did a gorgeous solo acoustic version of it. Thanked him for it at his post show meet and greet...he is a true role model for me musically and personally.

Oooof. Out the door and the struggle was real. First 6 or so miles, felt like I was running WAY faster than pace indicated. Eventually loosened up and worked through it. Had a hilly first 13 and then eased back a bit on the tail end running mostly bike trail.

Not sure why I have so much energy, but decided to head to the pool in case I needed to let my legs "rest" from yesterday. Still on a high from M2M. But kinda feeling the effects in the pool. Felt really good, nonetheless.

Thx G for already sending some pics!! You are awesome! So good to see you at the finish line. :)

Headed to Elkhorn for an all day swim meet.

Have a great day! Should be beautiful out. :)

Yesterday was a good day overall. Started out not wanting to run - at all. On the drive in to Omaha I even considered calling and faking the flu. But glad I went through with it. First leg went well. Tough go as it was a lot of hills, same leg I had last year. Went out easy and was able to stay loose the entire leg. Didn't set the world on fire but it was OK. Second leg, surprise, same leg again as last year. Lots of hills again. Pushed the pace as I wanted to prove to myself I could do better. Fastest leg all day. Last leg was difficult. By this leg I was tired, hungry, and really tight. Good thing it was a gradual downhill. Quads, hamstrings, and calves all cramping the last mile but I didn't walk. Obviously I'm nowhere as fast as most but overall it was a good day. My running hasn't been much fun since I had bronchitis and had to bag on Lincoln. Yesterday as a bit of a redemption. Today my body is not happy. Left foot is very sore. Left shin is really tender. Legs overall hurt like a mutha. Wish I had half of Leanto's abilities and I'd feel a lot better. Today I feel every bit of my 56, almost 57. Next year I won't be running. It falls smack dab on Shelley's birthday. I won't ask her to give up her day just so I can run all day. Oh well.
