Today we (Me Bill ben tyler mike harris blevins kendig dan alex jared matt and kyle) "winged it" and just ran wherever we wanted to.  Finally my stomach didn't hurt, the first run since saturday.  We ran all the way down the train tracks to reynolds road and just winded through backyards and the backs of stores all the way to plains, then we just ran the half mile path into the back of veterans.  The last 5 or 6 miles we were at or under 7 flat pace, and it felt good.

Ran a really easy 3 miler on my own.  At first my legs were heavy, but they quickly began to feel great.  I feel as though is the race was today I'd have done well, so i think ill do really well tomorrow with a bit more recovery.

Today's 16 miler was pretty tough. Ran with Bill Ben Tyler Harris Greg Kendig Dan Molinar (Jared Ryan and Kenny for the first 3.5 miles).  I felt decent the first few miles but i had my doubts as to whether or not id feel better after awhile of running.  I started to feel kinda bad on heisley with the two big hills, but i told myself it was just the hills and once they're behind me ill be fine, which was true.  Once we turned onto jackson i felt much better, and Jared (freshman coming in) Ken...

Today, we (Me Bill Tyler Matt Ben Harris Kendig Dan Molinar Dre Alex Max Jared Kristen and Jessie) ran the reverse zimmerman trail loop, adding on the 1 mile extension that is usually after the woods part of the marsh loop, and at the enterance to zimmerman we first ran down to the beach then back before running the ~4 1/2 miles back to vaterans park.  It was a really easy run, and i felt pretty good the whole time.  For a little bit before the run and the day before for sure, my shin was bug...
