Notes
Went to Channahon with John to run the National Corridor 25K. The weather was pretty crappy, but the race went well. Wanted to get in a solid effort, but not beat myself up too badly. More of a marathon type effort with out really racing. Started out and ran the first 4 miles with John. We were at 22:30 for 4 miles when i let him go. My hammy was pretty tight from the start and i had a hard time finding a comfortable rythm. Ended up running in the low 5:40's through mile 10. I really wasn't feeling very well until mile 9 or so. I started clipping off miles in the 5:20's and was slowly reeling in John. He had built up a 45 second gap on me but i was able to close that to about 17 seconds by the finish. It was really good feedback for me. I thought i could hold that pace for anther 5 miles or so and my leg felt pretty good all the way in. I was worried it would crap out on me but now i am confident i can make it to the finish. Overall it was a very positive day and i had a good time heading down there with John.
