Notes
Got my car going again and made my way to Dubuque to run with Retro, who was also running with Ty Wittman (Loras former stud). Ty doesn't really race anymore but trains some and still has those fast instincts as our first mile was under 7 (a rarity for me).
I finally remembered something Retro told me about running with him: Ty tends to get a stride ahead and then slow back down repeatedly for the whole run. Not sure how that happens but I stopped trying to match him and he would casually retreat back to us without a thought.
Anyway, Ty actually stopped about 2.5 miles in as his chest felt tight and hard to breathe, but he felt alright again when we saw him after the turnaround.
We continued to run fast each mile, but I actually felt great. Probably used up some energy for the race this weekend, but too late for that.
