AM run during kids' nap.  Off work today for wife's pre-surgery blood work.  15.1 miles easy out to Harrison Lakes and back - 2:09:40.  Digging the new (to me) electrplyte drink mix from Cliff.  Lots of sodium.  midnight 5k tonight at Mill Race Park - Glow in the Park - should be fun.

11pm jog and WU for midnight 5k - 4.7 miles worth.  REst of the story is on Saturday's entry.

Jogged over to Mill Race Park from the house down SR 11 in the dark - left at 11pm, so mileage logged on Friday entry.  Headlamp flashing/warning mode since there is no shoulder.  A little scary.  Midnight Glow in the Park 5k from park out the people trail to Walgreens and back.  Fun race - glow sticks illuminating the path the whole way.  A 13 yr old kid hung around for 2 miles after the usually startline sprint crowd thinned out.  Felt strong, like I was running well, but, turned out to be an optical illusion from passing all the glow sticks and the whole night running illusion.  5:42, 5:44, 5:52, blah.  5k - 17:52

Jogged home, ate abit and went to sleep.  6:30 alarm came very early.  30 min. drive to Seymour, jogged 5 minutes for WU.  Elizabeth's 5k - slowly worked into 6 minute pace and died off in last mile. 5k - 18:48
