Heading to California on Wednesday to run the SoCal Ragnar with Callie. I sure haven't been running much, 12 miles each of the last two weeks. I'm sure I'll be okay in the race though, I'm only running 4, 4, 10. I can do that...right? :-)

Happy Easter Everyone...!!!

I'm in California to run the SoCal Ragnar Relay with my daughter Callie on Friday and Saturday. She's in the middle of training for a marathon. We just ran 4 easy today before the race. I've really slacked off my running so my 4,4 and 10 in the relay may be a little rough. I don't expect to burn up the pavement. Today: 9:11 / 132 HR 8:32 / 125 HR 8:36 / 132 HR 8:32 / 137 HR Avg 8:43 / 131 HR

Man, this first leg of the Ragnar Relay was tough! 1 mile not too bad but running a 6:30 pace, then hit a light at .9 mile and had to wait about 1:30 for it to change. Then 3 miles alk uphill....ahhhh And hit , I think 5 more lights red! Overall average 8:05.

Finished my 2nd leg at 4:45. 4 miles at 7:25 pace. Not nearly as flat as I imagined this race would be. Last leg will be about 10 miles and I'll be starting about 3 pm, the hottest rime of the day. Finished my 9.3 leg of the race with an avg pace of 8:25. Not that fast but I am proud of it. This leg was good except for one very ling hill. Ran all miles at right at 8 min pace except for the hill mile which was a long 9. All the other miles would have been faster but had to stop at several stop lights with the watch running. Also I pulled one of my standards and ran the wrong direction causing me to go off course .16 miles. This happens to me frequently.
