8 min pace run on the soft surface of Wilson Morgan trail to test my knee. NO PAIN! but will ease back into it over the next two weeks. Lily rode her bike alongside of me as I ran. I've done a lot of biking over the last month so my fitness level didn't completely tank.

After the rain @ Delano, trail is draining very well. Sunny and breezy now so it should all dry up by Sat. race day.

Ran 5 miles with fellow blogger John Nevels during his 24 hour run that coincided with the Delano 12 hour. I ran with John at 3am at wich time he was in great spirits and had already racked up 51 miles. He started at 6pm Friday. By the start of The Delano 12 (6am) he had 62 miles behind him and now had 80 other runners out on the course running their miles to keep him company. John finished his 100 miles in 19hrs 43 min, a huge PR, and decided to call it a day. He raised a a lot of money Tay-Sachs Disease research.

 

Despite the weather extremes everyone seemed to have a great race with both male on female winners getting over 70 miles and two of the 50 mile finishers setting state age group records. All results soon on www.delano12.com

Pretty much as I expected for this 10 miler. My training leaves a lot to be desired, and I went into this knowing I couldn't run fast for 10 miles. My 5 mile split was 32 and I was already starting to fade, but I managed to hold on and not completely tank it. I did walk thru the last two aid stations.

Splits: 6:15, 6:23, 6:18, 6:28, 6:34, 6:43, 6:56, 7:02, 7:36, 7:13.

Kelly ran well, 1:29, placing 4th in her age group.

Biked 13 miles doing a 10K course certification in Madison right after the race. By Sat. afternoon I was beat.
