AM: Took the Wife's car to get tire repaired/replaced and air filter to Walmart, so, anticipated a long wait. Slow jog over to Mill Race Park and 3 x 1mi. loops attempting to cut down to goal 5k pace... Yikes - time to pull back the goal pace, apprently.  6:31, 6:35, and then expended way to much effort to get sub 6 (5:55).  Jogged slowly back over to Walamrt and the car was actually ready!  

7.85 mi. total - 59:45

8pm - 7mi. run out and back Terrace Lake/Tipton Lake route - 58 minutes

AM CR Series 5k Race - 18:34.  5:47, 5:57, 6:08, slow finish.  - I suck worse than I usually do right now. 

It was about 75 degrees this morning and very humid.  warmedup with a about 4miles with strides on the adjacent track.  Spent some time up to about 2 miles pulling the first place kid back to me and then really died in the last 1.11.  Its hard to compare this years' races to last years' since my spring race schedule this year was alot different.  In retrospect, 2 marathons, 2 halfs, and ended with the 50 miler within 35 days.  It is about 30 days since the 50 miler, but it hasn't been much of a recovery period.  Throwing in that 100 mile week was premature and probably ill-advised.  I have to say, I have been having fun, though.  At some point this summer, I am still not goign to give up hoping for a non-torturously humid/hot day in which I will run a solid PR for 5k and maybe 10k.

PM: about 40 minutes on bike -12 mi. out and back.  hard effort on the way back.  Kept around 20mph and the heart rate was up.
