It's all relative, gb. Here is what I was originally going to do tomorrow.Ohhhhh gee I'll just run this mountain marathon so I don't get too beat up.Ohhhh OK.
And don't get me wrong - I'll be beat up afterward. But hopefully just 2-3 days beat up, not 4-6 days beat up.

Yeah, don't #### around with hamstring injuries. I tweaked one several years ago, and the thing lingered for months. And that was relatively minor in the hamstring universe.

pre race poop complete. was starting to get a little nervous there. Read an article about paula radcliffe during the 2005 london marathon that I think literally scared the #### out of me.

Good finish to the week, 8 on the roads, 10 on the trails, one solidly kicked ###. Man I'm tired and really out of shape for that kind of distance.

Buzzkill day for me. 1:55. Never shook the cold I've had the last 2 weeks. Woke up this morning (after finally falling asleep at 12:30 due to coughing) at 5:00am hacking up some ugly funk from my lungs. My head was pounding, but after some breakfast decided to go.
Temp was about 60 at start, and we were running out in the country, so not much sun break at all.Gorgeous morning - just felt like crap. Decided to start with the 1:50 pacers and hang as long as possible. At the start line I actually started to feel a little better: I actually started thinking I'd run with the pacers the first half and then start to ramp it up.
After about 6 miles, I was done. Body was drained. I took water all day, and used my gels early and often. I actually was pacing pretty good up until then - exactly where I wanted to be. But my head, and body, said no. at that point I knew I was cooked, so I pretty much shuffled the rest of the day. All things considered, I'm very pleased I gutted it out without walking. Kids were at the finish happy to see me, and boy was I happy to see them. Here are my splits, but not much value to them today:
Mile 1: 8:20
Mile 2: 8:11
Mile 3: 8:05
Mile 4: 8:15
Mile 5: 8:17
Mile 6: 8:09
Mile 7: 8:19
Mile 8: 8:30
Mile 9: 8:38
Mile 10: 9:06
Mile 11: 9:43
Mile 12: 9:52
Mile 13: 9:23
Oh well. Tough day, but part of the fun. Awesome race to the Chinese guy. Incredible!!

Quality over quantity for races over 10K. Half marathons take their toll and you've run 3 in a very short period of time. IIRC you hadn't run many halfs before this year (2 maybe?). Run a 5K every weekend if you want but if you want to improve your race times for the half I'd space them out a couple months.

1:45Way to go for and and SMASH IT!!!Chief: I agree with hang10. Combine the cold with a body that's probably more beat up than you realize. Get some rest. Don't be afraid to take 3 days off from running. If you have to burn energy, go do some cross training or something. Just give the legs a real break.

That was hard.
5:57:21 on my Garmin. Connect says over 6000' of gain, Strava has 5,400'. Either way, some steep stuff in there.
Did get my first ever age group award, 2nd place in the 40-somethings. Of course when I left there were only five of us in the AG on the finishers list, but I'll take it!
More to come (of course)....

God-dammit, did you really have to change your avatar? Now I'll have to get used to visualizing you as a dead deer instead of Flanders.

Oh yeah, and you should throw out any race result that involves a cold. Doing a training run while you're ill is fine within reason. Racing? Come on. Your body physically isn't there.

Kick ###. Always an extra boost when you just slide in under an even amount like that. "yeah, I went sub 6."
Strava shows some pretty ridiculous hills in there. West ridge = oof.

I don't know how you do it. My trail run today was brutal for me and was nothing like what you do.

Congrats to Annyong on the PR and a great improvement! (PR only get harder from here, though!)
And congrats to Duck on the accomplishment and the AG award! I predict more hardware after you do this LT training you've promised us.

Outf'nstanding gentlemen!Chief like others have said, you've packed a lot into a tight time frame are well south of 100%, the fact that you ran feeling as ####ty as you did is a pretty strong statement. I woulda stayed in bed!

My Groovin' in the Grove 5K report.
I wasn't sure what to expect going into this one. My training has been a bit lackluster recently, particularly with speedwork. My PR is 18:41 set last June and I knew I didn't have much of a shot at that. I would be very happy with sub 19:00 and if I got that, it would be my second best time ever.
Perfect morning for a race. About 60 degrees with only a light breeze. I met Brony at the race. I don't think he posted about it, but unfortunately he hurt his hamstring again and didn't want to push it by doing much more than a light jog. I'm glad he still came and it was nice to meet him and chat before and after the race.
I came in 8th at this event last year. Looking around at the start this year, it didn't seems like there were as many super fast runners. There was one guy with a PENN singlet looked super fast but I wasn't sure about anyone else.
I had auto-lap set for every half mile like I always do for 5Ks:
First 1/2: 2:58. I wanted to run about 6:00 for the first mile so I'm on pace. At the end of this point I notice I'm in 5th. PENN is in the lead and he's widening it but I'm not far behind the other 3. This is the first time I remember racing when I knew exactly what place I was in.
Second 1/2: 3:03. I'm a little slower and trying to manage things so I don't wear out too soon. Still in 5th at this point..
Mile 2: 3:04 & 3:07. I pass 2 runners during this mile and notice both were laboring when I passed. I'm not worried about them catching back up. So I'm in 3rd now. PENN, the leader, is out of sight but the 2nd place runner is only about 10 seconds ahead of me. Nobody is close behind me.
Mile 3: 3:04 & 3:07. Lots of short hills here and things are difficult. I'm laboring but doing reasonably OK. No change at all, still comfortably in 3rd. The guy is 2nd slowed a little more than me on the hills but I still can't catch him. I decide to try to sprint the end to catch him if I can.
Last .12 on Garmin: :39 (5:21 pace). Well, 2nd place guy kicks and there is no way I'm catching him. As I near the finish I can see the clock ticking down from 18:40s to 18:50s, I try my hardest to break 19:00, but it's just out of reach...
Final time 19:02. 3rd out of 242 finishers. Beaten by a 24 year old and an 18 year old.

Great to meet Juxt and he ran an outstanding race. It will be tough to keep up with him once I'm healthy, but he's a great guy and I look forward to the competition in the 40 something AG here in Chicago.
I don't have a race report, but I'm happy that my setback appears to be a minor one as my calf feels good this morn. Targeting a local 5k here in 2 weeks.
