Up and at 'em peeps! Or, maybe in a couple more hours at least.<br><br>
Got bored at work so I decided to go ahead and start it early today<br><br>
I will head to the Greenline for an easy 12 here shortly.<br><br>
Apple- my Avatar is actually Blackbeard the pirate's flag. I have a few guys at the running group calling me blackbeard since, well, I have a black beard. And about the baby, the doc said they would discuss inducing at the next visit, so, maybe sometimes next week?

<p>Morning BBS, just saw your FB post and it sounds like you had a tough one. But you got it done and that's what counts.<br><br>
Late start for me after sleeping in a bit tthen taking my time with breakfast. But I'm heading out now. Still humid here but quite as hot as it's been. 14 or so miles, that's the plan.<br><br>
Happy running all.</p>

<p><strong>BBS/Hawk</strong> - enjoy the longer runs</p>

<p>Soldier Field 10 mile race this morning. Realistically I was thinking a 67 minute effort but wanted a sub 66.  As expected, it sucked  Just glad I finished!   It sums up a crappy month for running and it does not bode well for a HM in two weeks... may be running that with DW.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, my lungs were burning at mile 3... so I slowed from 6:30mpm to 6:40s... the pain went away but I couldn't go any faster.  In mile 5, my double knotted laces came untied on one foot.  WTF!  Lost 30 seconds there.  First half was into the wind so I figured a tail wind would help me... not really.  It was a struggle to maintain 6:45s for the back half.    </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Splits:</p>
<p>6:32, 6:31, 6:31, 6:47; 7:07 (shoe laces)</p>
<p>Split: 33:28</p>
<p>6:41, 6:44, 6:49, 6:46, 6:42</p>
<p>Finish: 1:07.08,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My time is almost the same as last year.    My buddy's 12 yr old kid smoked my ass with a sub 65,  Still, thankfully he didn't beat my 10 mile PR - that will happen soon.</p>

<p>I walked around the lake with a friend yesterday and realized how much I missed running there!  So today when I laced up the shoes, that's where I headed.  Crushed limestone with a short section on the paved bike path..  I enjoy it because it's just runners so I can really let my mind wander.  Steady long run, and steady it was!  Lap times of 10:40, 10:27, 10:28, 10:25, 10:30, 10:28.  Total 7.06m, 1:03, 8:56pace.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>First tri of the season is next week.  Still haven't decided if I'm going to do it or not.  Just not feeling ready for it.  Then, do I do the Sprint series or the Oly?  Or do I even race at all this season?  So many doubts...</p>

RA- you are still my hero... At least May is almost over, right?

<p>Trail run done and a humid sweatfest it was. I ended up with 13.2 miles only because I was determined to at least cover the distance of next week's race. Once I did I was happy to call it a day.<br><br>
RA - sorry the race wasn't what you hoped for. I had the same type of result at Broad Street after much anticipation. It wasn't my day but I gutted it out, and so did you today. Nice job.</p>
