Ran Smallville and gravel road to make 10, then 5 minute break and ran out and back to make 5.  Didn't feel very good on this run and pretty much bonked on the last 5.

Out & Back. Perfect running day but my left knee was really hurting. Don't know why but it started yesterday in the middle of the day and through the night so I took this run very slow.

We are back in California  again. For some reason my knee started hurting really bad on Tuesday but went away today just as fast as it came on.

Ran another 12 mile progressive run getting ready for my half marathon next week. Hoping I can pull off about a 7:15 pace in the race!

Race: Chosen Half Marathon for Adoption (13.1 Miles) 01:35:00, Place overall: 15, Place in age division: 2

Going into the race I had settled on a goal of a 7:15 pace. Looking back now I think I underestimated what I could do. I believe I ran it a little too consertive through most of the race which caused me to have to really push at the end to actually meet that goal. I felt really good after the race. This is the 3rd fastest Chosen I've run. Maybe next year I'll try to beat my fastest. :-)
