The Jasper County Hospital 5k

"Run like hell and get the agony over with." - Clarence DeMar

That about sums up Saturday's race.  I started out strong and it hurt the whole time.  I guess that means I did it right.  I beat my best 5k time by 5 seconds.  I had hoped to be faster, I guess I have to chalk it up to the heat.  I did preetty, preetty good though.  They had me listed as 7th overall although Randy Lehman (6th overall) and I ran the whole last half together and had the same time.  (Thanks Randy for running with me and keeping me going.)  It was a tough race.

Next weekend, the agony should be prolonged.  Sunday I am running in the Chicago Distance Classic, a half marathon.  I hope the Windy City is cool and not so windy, maybe just a nice breeze at my back.  The 13.1 miles should be a good training run for me.  I hope to do well as I have really been logging the miles in training.

    You da man. Glad to see you are a blogger again. I may post again in your honor. Way to keep the CRC name alive at the hospital race. You know I didn't run, since it didn't end at the hospital, for apparent reasons

    Yeah Remark, but there were nurses and defibrillators on scene. I personally got a gram of epi push. I highly recommend it.
