Wasn't really feeling too excited about getting out the door. After a slow couple of miles, cranked it up and felt pretty good.

On Monday, the 2011 Boston marathon sold out in a few hours and I didn't get in. I was considering running the California International marathon in December but my body seemingly isn't bouncing back from St. George fast enough. Registration for CIM filled up earlier this week. So it looks like I'm an aimless runner without a race on my calendar ....

PRE RUN
nothing

water, multivitamin, glutamine, & Kashi GoLean cereal w/skim milk

Felt pretty good this morning. Since Klein High's stadium has been under construction all summer, it's the first time I've been on the track in several months. All of the lights were on because a construction crew was working on one of the outbuildings at the north end zone. There was some sort of "boot camp" training group on the field and on the stadium steps.

I started my first mile repeat too fast and paid for it throughout the rest of the workout.
