Ugh! It's so hard to run up here. I had planned to do a 15 mile run before this race and then see what happened. But then we decided to sleep in til only 30 min's before the race started and then I was pushed for time to get ready and warm up. Didn't have a watch so I didn't care about time. Just tried to run it fairly hard but not kill myself. It's really, really hard to run at this altitude. About a mile into it your legs get heavy and lungs are just on fire. Could hardly get the legs to go up the hill to the turn around. Anyways didn't get the mileage I wanted to today. Got a short little speed workout in. The first fast miles since the marathon. Won $30 at the burger joint so I guess we'll eat good for lunch. After the race we went to the parade and my family decided I should do the pie eating contest... the winner won $100. I was dead last out of 15 people.

You win some, you lose some....literally. ;-) Bummer about the pie eating contest. That would have made for a pretty sweet 'race report.' Enjoy your holiday.

Dead last... YOU LOSER!

Hey we are both big time race winners today!

You must have really been packing it in!

You have got to love the home town races! Dude, I am surprised that you suck so bad at pie eating.:) Heavy legs should translate into faster pie eating!

Yeah it would have been cool to win both the race and the eating deal... but sometimes you go to a dry well:)
