Great Job EJ!
That sub 18 Miley is going to be hanging around your neck really soon at this rate
Thanks guys, I felt unusually strong on the Parkway and knew I had a good chance at a healthy PR. Held it together much better than usual on the Riverwalk, and finished strong.
By far my best race, and it does give hope for getting under 18:00 this year. Next week won't work, because I'm scheduled for a 23 miler this Sunday. Maybe the series finale, or maybe one of the Wakefield Wednesday night races or something.
And I know my "faster than Ricky" status is only temporary, I have no doubt you'll once again be ripping past me soon.

Thanks Eric. It was another good run, and the others have heard my sorry story ad nauseum so I might as well bore you with it too. I had run long on Sunday with a 23 miler, then wrenched my back on Monday morning picking up my dog's crap. After a warmup my back felt pretty good, and it was a non-factor during the race.
It was the long run that had me holding back and running nice even splits, I felt strong but kept waiting for my legs to cry uncle. I figured for sure I was going to crash and burn, but never did. As it turns out, I should have started to kick a bit earlier. I'm pretty sure I left some time out on the course, so I'm heading out the door to punish myself. My Wednesday regular, a nice hilly 13.1 should do the trick.
Hey EJ -
Looks like you will be taking over third place in your age group next week. Not bad seeing you missed a week. Not bad at all. Too bad the summer series didn't go 10 weeks. You might have made it all the way to the top.

I meant to take a look, but didn't get a chance at work. It would be nice to sneak into the top 3, the grass won't be getting cut before next Tuesday.
