It's a 12 hour race. So if the heat and humidity doesn't kill me I'm hoping for 5o 50 miles

Roth Runner 7/3 Dulwich Midsummer 5k Brockwell Park, London, UK. Win V40 age group.

Not going to set a time goal as it's a hilly 5k and I'm not tapering for it. Would be nice to be first old git.

7/4 - spaniel - Carmelfest 4.5-miler - Carmel, IN - 26:15 25:30 and empty C-R's beer fridge

We ran this one a couple years ago and it was the closest I ever felt to passing out from heat stroke during a race. I let myself get out-kicked by a master's runner in the straightaway because I really felt that if I ran any harder I may not make it to the line. Fortunately the weather forecast is a bit better this year.

Hopefully my girls can do the kids' run.

MTA: Revised goal time downward due to results of last night's tempo run and favorable temps.

7/4 Carmel Fest 4.5 < 33:51.

Glad spaniel wants to help empty my fridge but you brought a tent.

I did a pre-run workout tonight in DC. 88 + high humidity after drinking beers during the soccer match. Brilliant.

Better than a tent....a driver.

Well I'm not changing my goals for tomorrow so there. Spaniel - you will just have to wait that much longer for me to finish.

You should see the beer porn pic my wife just texted me after returning from the store. I won't be bored.
