1. The run that almost wasn’t.  I had 7 miles on the schedule today.  The day started out a little rough.  A little seasonal allergy crud had me dragging this morning.  After working on race stuff all day, a little laundry, cooking and cleaning, I decided a little fresh air would do me some good.

    The run started off great.  I made it up the back of West Mountain in record time.  Then, my momentum continued as I made the loop around and back up again. I hammered the downhill and finished a strong 2.5 miles on the flat Whittington Park trail.  

    My last three mile splits were 8:35, 8:46, 8:24.

    Looking back at my log, I ran that exact same loop Sept 20th in 1:15:28.  Today’s time: 1:10:29
