NYLOCO-- I ran a 2:51:18 and felt great the wholw way. I just stuck to my race plan and got it done. Followed the splits Jackie Rzpecki gave me and she told me at mile 20-21 dont look at your watch again and just run. So like Forrest Gump said. " I was running". I was first in age. ( cause the other guys took the masters money from me including Derrick). I was the first finisher from Western NY.
Busy, hectic, stressful week, but managed to pull off a 1:19:16 1/2 marathon. 4th OA, 1st 40+ and 50+, and new course record for 50+. Pace would be a walk in the park for most of you speedsters here, but I'll take it.
A girl I'm coaching got a second and third at state track in the 1600 and 3200. Season's best, which was good, but times weren't has fast as we'd hoped. She'll bust out in college and will be going to a good D1 program.
Thanks for the link and tips. I'm already using the exercises!
Six workouts last week (four runs, two bike rides), which equals total for the rest of the month. Like JR, I'm also getting back at it--albeit to a lesser degree--after our state meet (one girl 2:23/5:06, another 2:20/5:11 this season, and both back next year). Good to hear Gunnar is still an animal. He always made me laugh back in my SMTC days 24 years ago. Mike, I posted two weeks in a row!
Do you have a link to the results? I could not find them on the SCStriders site. Thanks.
I mentioned last week that I ran into someone from high school on a trail. His son just graduated from American U, where he ran.

I don't think the results have been posted yet. Not sure when they will be ... sorry.
One correction to my previous post. Looks (from photos) like Joe Carnegie finished 3rd in the race, not 5th as I indicated before. I blame oxygen debt. Quite honestly, I wasn't seeing straight for a few minutes post-race. ;-)
TC,
Congrats on the great stint of scholarship from your young men @ SP. Obviously it's already opening large doors.
Laid back on training this week also. The medial aspects of both knees were sore through thursday.
Spent 2 workouts cat-skiing, 2 twenty mile bike rides, and 20 miles total running.
Found SoCalPetes account of that 3K interesting.Those guys still know how to hold themselves to the flame.
Joe Carnegie must cast a long shadow if he can instill fear into a field of that quality.
Buzzed up to join 4 Yoopers for a trail run in the Porkies on Monday. 18.3 miles of fairly rough singletrack. Other than 2 face plants the 3:36 went uneventfully, and with lots of chit- chat.
Good Health and running to all, DR

Looks like a sub 9:05 is needed to get into the Oly Trials 3000m field. That should be an interesting race!
Does anyone know the date and time of the masters 3000 at the trials?
