8.6.06
Well, you can probably tell by my LACK of blogging that the race did not go as well as I had hoped yesterday. I did good to finish in under an hour. My time was just that 59:?? something.... It hasn't been "officially" posted, yet. The heat was oppressive and the office park where the race was run had BEAUTIFUL green grass -- obviously watered by sewage water (I believe), at least, that's what it smelled like. pew wee.... It was BAD!
I overheard many people talking about how their times were way off because of the heat. Mine was about 8 minutes off from my best 10K time. It was a good course, some slight inclines, but nothing major, all on the road and through a rather large office park. I am up about 10 lbs. also -- that probably added some time to my time... We'll work on that over the next few weeks to see if I can't get back down to a good "ideal" race weight by Labor Day -- my next 10K -- the U.S. 10K Classic (America's Greatest 10K - as it's advertised.)
May take tomorrow off -- we'll see how I feel in the a.m.
School starts for us tomorrow. I ready to get back into the routine...
