<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>
