Kind of a fun race/ workout this morning. Different course from years past. This one is flattish with a few rollers. Overall pretty fun and fair. Now I want to go run it all out when I'm feeling good. Just because it's about the fairest thing around here. 

I've been feeling sickish all week coming off actually being really sick earlier in the week. So I didn't feel like really racing but still wanted to try and get the legs to turn over a little before I run the marathon up in Alaska next week. Mik'L and I road up with Mike and Billy boy- we got there early enough to get in just over a 4 mile warm up. 

Dave came up on the bus and we also ran in to Glen who was in town from Oregon. I knew I wasn't going to go super hard so I really wasn't stressed about it. Wish more races were like this. My garmin also just wouldn't work up there. I plugged it in last night but went to fire it up before the race and it just blanked. So I had no idea what pace I was going. 

The race started and Dave, Glen and I went out with Ryan right behind us. The three of us chit chatted for around a half mile or so and then those two headed out. I just hung back and Ryan actually caught up and passed me for about a mile then I passed him back around mile 3. I just kept the pace steady while not killing myself. As we came into town I was only about 25 seconds behind Dave and Glen and though that was pretty good considering I was kind of just chillin. But then almost right after that they more than doubled the gap and I watched them go away.

When I finished I had no idea what the time I had run or how fast the spits were. Just felt pretty good and then did 4 miles of cool down with Dave.

Fun morning even though we got up at 4:30 to do it. Mik'L ran the 10 k too and did great. Beat her goal time and ran under 10 min pace. Good job Kellers!

Hey man, good to see you today. Thanks for taking it easy today and going easy on the out-of-towner. ;) Otherwise I'm sure I was toast!

Enjoy your trip next week and have fun with your marathon up there. See you in October? I'll be sure and let you know sooner than the starting line if it works out for me to come back in a couple months.

Oh my... Not toast for sure. You still ran your own great race homey. Just wish I could have been up in the mix. See ya in the fall!

Good run today Clyde - good to end a bad week (at least the start) with some good sustained turnover. Have fun up there, run well, and don't get eaten by any bears!

Fly - you are so darn consistent, very nice race. 500 commando points for third place. Also, 500 commando points for the Mrs Fly PR.
