7.0 no watch.  Up and over to 300 West and then back home.

PM Crossfit.  Probably won't be able to walk tomorrow.

5.60 no watch.  First 1.25 on my own and the rest with Ryan.  Over to 700 S. and then West and then back home.  Would have been good weather if the wind wasn't blowing.

5.0 no watch on the JRP out by Saratoga.  Freezing cold due to the wind.

Crossfit.  I am running the halloween half this Saturday.  Pretty sure I won't be able to run most of next week due to the pounding my quads are going to take.

Accidentally tapered for this race during this last week.  Just didn't get much running in.  My running has not been stellar over the last few weeks due to the change in weather and starting up with Crossfit.  I was pretty interested to see how things would go today and actually came away surprised.  This is the best I've run this race out of the three times (and this will be my last time) I've run it.  It was hectic, but I had two brothers and a sister-in-law running and I just wanted to relax and have a good time.....and I did have a good time.  Felt good to try and run fast for the first time in a while.

5 6:13 Really tried to take it easy in these first miles.  Couldn't feel my toes for the first 4 miles.  Started running with a guy name Bill Hiatt ?? around the mile 4 mark.  We chatted a bit and the next few miles flew right by.  The downhill was rough on the quads, but this is a pretty part of the run.  Started back a bit, so I got to pass quite a few people.

6 6:44

7 6:41 Hmmm.  Not sure what happened here in these last two miles.  I did stop and walk through some aid stations.  

8 6:23

9 6:37

10 6:20

11 6:34 Felt like I was running in quicksand on the little section coming out of Timp. park.

12 6:20 Got passed by a girl who was really flying.

0.1 0:42 

Like I mentioned, I was pleasantly surprised that I held up as good as I did.  Enjoyed running down the canyon (this is my favorite place to run) and got a good workout.  Hoping the damage is minimal over the next few days.  This race may cost me both of my middle toenails and I'm hoping the quads aren't too destroyed next week.  Looking to really hit Crossfit hard the next few weeks and run when I feel like it.  We will see how that goes.
