AM: 3 at Pt Mallard on trail while Lily was at CC practice. I must have been the first one on the trail; saw two snakes, one in a stand-off with a gopher, a turtle on the trail and many rabbits and squirels.

 

PM: Ran the 2 mile run at the RCR Family Fun Runs as a speed work-out. The route is 1 mile of road and 1 mile of flat groomed trail.  11:48, went through the mile at about 5:05, turns and footing slowed me down on the trail mile back to finish. I ran in my old Asics DS trainers with very little tread. 1 mile cooldown.

My time may not show it, but this was a hard run. At the 7:30am start time it was already in the mid 80's with at least 90% humidity. This race gives out special awards to sub 40 min finishers. The first 3 miles is an out and back on slightly rolling terrain (3 mile split: 17:33), the last 3.2 is all hills, one short, steep climb is run twice, essentially killing any chance of maintaining the pace from the first 3 miles. I am not bleesed with the ability to run hard in hot/humid weather, (is anyone?) and by the last mile I was pretty drained.

Emily Hardin finally got me at this race, passing me around the 5 mile mark and staying strong to the end (38:18).

Kelly ran well and finished 4th in the 40-49 age group.

One more 10K (Peach Tree on July 4th) and then I concentrate more on short speed sessions to be ready for 1 mile state age group record attempt in Oct.
