Tuesday July 29 (pm) - 13M - RACE
Yankee Homecoming 10M race in Newburyport - 62:58 (6:18 pace)
It was lovely evening for running, and even though my time here was slower than last year, considering the last several months and the injury, this was a much better race for me. I warmed up about 15 minutes, then ran fairly conservative splits through the early miles when everyone else was going out fast. Having recently run an 8-miler, I kept comparing splits, and was encouraged to be hitting the miles faster, even though it felt very smooth.
Had a very good last four miles: 6:14, 6:22 (hill), 6:18, 6:10, passing quite a few people.

I intended to run only 3M tonight, since I'm racing tomorrow, but ended up doing five slow miles with Matias, Dana, and Henry. Very nice run on a nice evening (for a change) with lively conversation.

Friday July 18 - 4M
One of the only times this summer that my run was constrained by having to be somewhere at a certain time. I had it in my mind to run 5-6 but ran into Tom Davis after a mile and talked with him for 5-10 minutes, so could only manage 4 miles.
I needed an easy day. My legs were very weary from Thursday's water-logged tempo run.

Thursday July 24 (pm) - 6M
This was actually a very hard run. Leaving work at 5:50, I made a late decision to try to get to Fresh Pond in time to run (if not race) the five miler there. Not only did I have to drive there (30 minutes on the best days), I had to get gas for the car, and change my clothes beat the traffic. Luckily, I arrived just as Sue McNatt was arriving with the table. I never did pay my 50 cent entry fee, though.
Started slow, since I had only warmed up with a few hundred yards of jogging and a little stretching, and was immediately left behind by Tom, Terry, and Jonathan. Did I mention it was also raining steadily? After a mile or two I started feeling pretty good, and ran the last 3 miles at closer to a tempo pace. The whole thing was by myself, though. Jogged a mile after it was all over to make six.
