Very busy boy here, got to keep this short & quick: Treadmill at Y today, 5 miles total. Tempo run, middle 3 run at 7:02 - 7:09 - 7:15 and then a good stretch but no weights or other exercises afterward. Effort felt easier than a few weeks ago - pretty much the same time.
The half marathon this weekend is quite the talk of the town. Mostly everyone from club is running, and apparently plenty of other folks too. Several guys at the Y were talking about it today. Good luck to all - I know this won't be one of my faster races, but I'm really looking forward to it since my leg is done hurting. may never know what that was all about. Marathon is now 75 days away - nearly time for me to shit or get off the pot.

Course elevation: this isn't great/accurate. the finish is actually about 20-25 feet higher than the start. But this gives a sense of the climbing between miles 6.5 thru 8.5 - steady uphill: http://www.races2run.com/CRcourse-elevation/CR2009.htm
There's already over 1,000 runners signed up and the forecaste is good weather (40-45 degrees at start, cloudy w/no rain). I see runners from far away across America coming to Wilmington for this one: https://www.lin-mark.us/page.asp?prmName=viewentrants&prmEventID=89

nice tempo run! glad the leg seems to be better. get out and enjoy the half this weekend, and don't push it for a pr - this isn't your goal race! take it slow if needed.
