Run for the Cure. Nice sunny day, lots of people out for the cause, I kept behind last years winner until halfway up the biggest hill, where he slowed down to let me pass. I did so hesitantly knowing that he was supposed to beat me. And sure enough he zipped past me on the way down the other side. I finished 2nd, about 20 meters behind 1st. Felt great though, and leonard ran it too :) yay

rainy warm and NESCAC conference meet. 16 runners, and I was seeded 5th. My plan was to calm down and run 80 and 81's and then bring it home after that. I kept this goal more realistically this week, and let the pack string itself out as far as it wanted, I started reeling them back in after the first 3 laps, kept my head and got into 6th, just behind two midd guys. I was 5th with 800 to go, and the guy ahead of me was tired and looking back at me, I felt wonderful so I picked it up and passed him at the last water pit. he was too tired to keep good form I guess. I had pretty good hurdles, and a nice kick. Winner was 9:41 I think, and I was pretty far off 3rd, 4th is respectable, but I get one more chance at this I think.

2 x 800 cut downs. (40-38-37-35) 2:30
(40-38-37-36) 2:31
