Yes you did run with him a bit today at Urban Wildland. A nice 1:16 PR for him over what he ran at Grandma's (which was a 4 minute PR). Not a bad race for you either. Expecially since you were running by yourself. First and second were off on their own (battling). Then you were just running alone.

wow. 5 minute gains in a little over a month! that is amazing and truly inspirational. (and so young Shocked

) yeah, i shouldn't have let them get away early. I really didn't think either of them were strong enough, but they were surprising. got back to 30 seconds or so, but by that time it was pointless and kind of shut down. very strange to run by yourself in a race for 7-8 miles.

For some reason, you are blurry in most of the pictures I took -- must have been moving too fast... Here's the battle at the finish:

Got the Ragnar Relay on 8/22 & 8/23. Then the Victory 10k. Although, pretty much everything between now and January is a "train through" race. Goal race is Houston in January -- trying to get to a time like your Boston time... XC starts tomorrow for my kids -- going to make training a bit more of a challenge!

I will be biking around at Urban trying to motivate a teammate that is trying to get a corral time for Chicago. Running the double at Hennepin-Lake on Sunday.

How has everyone been racing?

Hey Scovill... good luck Saturday! We'd come out and watch if we weren't in IL this weekend.

You coming to Paavo next weekend or what?

Yes I am. Using it as a marathon pace run, which will give me the same time as last years race.

I'm more excited that my sister is running the 5k, her first race ever.

What's the double on Sunday?

Nice race Jeff! Big PR and you still finish 3rd? Shoulda tripped the speedsters (although looks like you were battling with 2nd).
