AM   I had a good run this morning, 2.30 mile w/u and a 7.5 mile tempo run - the first 2 miles I was not sure if I was going to make it or not as I have not done a good tempo in awhile but it got much better as the run went on and ended very well - 2.7 mile c/d

Well on Friday I was asked if I wanted to run this half marathon after I just did a 9 mile tempo run and I said sure why not.

The race was fun and I had a great time and the course was just awesome but the legs got heavy about mile 6. Felt like I could have ran better but it was ok

Well this race was a mess,  the first 12 miles was good but got worse from there as my stomach started to cramp and by mile 14 AND 15 I was on the side of the road vomiting and not sure that the heck was the causeof it was and then was dealing with cramps because of lack of hydration and all and lasted from mile 17 to 22 and from there on it was my attitude because I was just so pissed about it all.  Just glad to finish and move on from that one.

PM   Went on a great bike ride this afternoon from the house to Hitt road and back, stopped by the shop to get some ajustment on a rear brake and to talk to the gang.  Legs feel fine
