Morning workout at the gym

This is a 7 pm race. The weather this year was not quite as bad as normal but it was still "Hot and Humid". I've run this race several times and my best time was in the high 18's a few years ago. If my memory serves me well it had rain that day to cool things off and was still cloudy at race time.

  Ok to the down and dirty. I ran just about the race I wanted to with the exception of mile 3 which has a huge hill that kicked my tail this year. I tried to save a little going up the hill with the hopes of making up time after I got over the top which has a slight decline down to the finish line. I did pick the pace up and had my sights set on picking off the guy in front of me but before I could a guy picked me off, Dang it I hate when that happens. I did end up picking off the guy and was closing the gap on the guy that passed me but ran out of time and he beat me by 5 seconds. It just happened that he was in my age group which made it that much worse. All in all I can't complain but you always feel like you could have done a little better.

This was the first of 5 races in the Western Kentucky State Park Running Series. All but one of them are really hilly courses and two of them are ran at night. I looked down at my Garmin when I got through and thought they must have messed up on laying the course out but it was me and three other runners that had messed up. We made a wrong turn at the top of a hill that went back in this little cul-de-sac then came right back out on the course again. With the exception of adding some time it didn't affect our finishing postions any. I'm really not to disappointed with my time, with the course being so hilly, plus getting off course and it being so humid you could cut the air with a knife I'll take the second place finish. I feel like my time would have been real close to 20 even if we hadn't made the wrong turn.

6 mile run after work. The legs should have felt fresh and ready after the rest day yesterday but they felt very heavy and it was hard to get in the groove. It felt like everything was out of sync the first few miles.
