Pretty good shake out race and I managed my PR by just over 3 minutes

1- 6:08

2- 5:41

3- 5:39

4- 5:56

5- 5:52

6- 5:28 

7- 5:41

8- 5:47

9- 6:06 (9 and 10 must have been off somehow)

10- 5:33

11- 6:08 (turned around into the wind)

12- 6:05 (still into a hard headwind)

13.1- 6:37 

All told I was pretty happy with it and feel pretty good. I'm not sure I could keep it up for another 13.1 miles but I guess my goal pace for a full is a little slower. Tomorrow we will see how the legs feel. In the end  I'll call it a success. Also we were 3 for 3 PRs today ... Ozzie ran 1:12 (1 minute PR) on a bad calf and Cara ran 1:35 (8 minute PR). 

Recovery run today. My feet hurt a lot but my legs feel just fine.

Feet are still quite bad. I got a huge blood blister on Sunday and have been walking/running odd which has made another part of my foot hurt. There was only a little blood on my sock today and in general my run was less painful than yesterday so this is good. My legs still feel fine but are definitely tired.

Nice easy run ...

Easy on the creek again. I'm still somewhat tired and I think a little tiny bit sick. Still its good that I've been able to make my way back upward in mileage quickly after a relatively hard race.

Just 11 on the creek. My hamstring was a little tight today so I took it kind of easy. 

Led the new vaulters doing 2 x 4 x 200m on the track. Then in the afternoon I went for a slow 14.
