Never take my gifts for granted Personal: I'm 28 years old, originally from new england and now living in Evanston, Wyoming. Ran competitively up through college and then did nothing for about 6 years. Didn't like what I saw in some of my wedding/honeymoon pictures (of myself at least :) ) and make a commitment to start running regularly again just over a year ago. It's been a tough road - especially making the jump from sea level to ~7000 ft, but I'm looking forward to see how much of my college speed/endurance I can regain! Favorite Blogs: |

| I was pretty pleased with the end result, but the effort/pacing could've been better. After an inconsistent few weeks, I figured I'd be in about 53:30-54:00 shape and was right on the money. I had to stop a couple times during the second half of the race, however, which I hate doing. I think it was a combination of lack of conditioning and being mentally pooped out....I found myself in the middle of no-man's land, with nobody within about a quarter mile, which can make things difficult. I probaby cost myself about 45-60 seconds doing that, or I would've been even faster.
12 seconds slower than what I ran for the race last year, but there was a fresh layer of snow, which made footing tricky in spots and probably slowed the course down a bit.......I went back afterward and compared results among some of the top people who ran both this year & last year and found that just about everybody was 2-4 minutes slower this year. That cheered me up a little bit.
It should also be noted that I was the only person competing in the male 25-29 age division, but a win is still a win! :)

| Nice loop around town after work. Variable footing with some acrobatics involved.

| Slogging through snow on the rail trail + not feeling well and called it a day early. Definitely been an adjustment coming back to work after break. I really need to get on top of the sleep thing.

| 5 with the track club. Neighborhood loop from Highland High. I resisted the urge to jog in circles around everybody in the parking lot to get up to an even 5. Score: Kevin - 1 OCD - 0

| Easy hour with the track club on the JRP. Seemed to be a more industrial area and not quite as scenic as other parts of the path that I've done, but the company was nice and I was pleased to see that it was thoroughly plowed.

Felt ok early on, then faded pretty hard after the turnaround. Now I just need to start running more so the last mile starts sucking less. It sucks to be just barely on the north side of the big round number, but I had guestimated that 24 minutes was about my top-end ability right now with 24:30 being more realistic, so I was pretty happy with it.
I hadn't run the winter series before, but it seems to draw a good crowd. It's nice always having people to run with. A bit of a monotonous course that runs out n' back along I-80, but pancake flat and great for fast times. Ideal racing conditions today too, with temps in the mid 20s, sunny skies, no wind, and good air quality. Hopefully we'll be as lucky for the next two races.
My wife also ran faster than expected (~2 minutes under her 5k time from a couple weeks ago!) and then won some girl scout cookies in the post race raffle to top it all off. This was obviously the high point of the day.

| 40 minutes easy peasy whilst watching the Bruins lay some smack down.
Some interesting thoughts on Galen Rupp and his lastest trend of breaking American records...

Mostly I just wonder what would possess somebody to do 5x1 mile immediately after one of said records.
