Nice and super easy recovery run today. I only have one more long run tomorrow before Hurricane next week so I wanted to take it really easy today, besides the fact that I am still feeling it a bit from yesterdays mile race. The wind had died down a bit from last night but it was still hanging on a little bit today during my run, although it really didn't bother me at all, I was just happy to be out running. Hopefully we will get the AG and team results today from the track and field event yesterday. I just hope we beat Zappos.com and all their super track athletes.

Corporate Challenge Track and Field Update
Well we won the team gold running away, pun intended. Second place was so far behind it wasn't even a contest. Zappos.com finished in 6th place....HA! I ended up getting the silver medal in the 1600 meter race losing by only 1.5 seconds. The sad part is I don't think the kid that beat me was in my heat because there was really no one close in front of me when I finished. When they called the first heat together they cut it off at 24 runners and that was right in the middle of the 35-39 age group. Kinda stinks, maybe I could have squeezed out 2 more seconds if I had known. Oh well, what are you gonna do, silver it is. Two years ago when I ran it I got 4th and no hardware, so I can't complain too much. |
