POND TEMPO

I met Ken, Ben, Jason, and Jared at the 21st Street Pond. We warmed up to the canyon and then I tempo-ed four miles back to the pond. It was my quickest tempo on that particular route.

Splits: 5:01 4:55 4:51 4:57

It was an eventful morning. When we showed up to the parking lot, there was a drugged out guy in his mid-30s acting crazy shining a flashlight at us and then we realized he was also waving a knife around. He pointed at Ken and then raised the knife to his own neck, while Ken was still safely in his car. Ken called 911. The guy wandered off up the Parkway without ever saying a word to us or responding to us. Five minutes later he was face down on the concrete, handcuffed and surrounded by 4-5 cops.

Then later on the warm-up we had to run through some sprinklers and Jason, trying to avoid getting wet tried to cut in front of me and go around the sprinklers, but ran into me, caught my trail leg and I hip-planted hard on the Parkway. My right hip hurts still; I think it's going to have a big bruise.

Looking like you are recovered from your marathon! What's next for you? Anymore marathons this year? Crazy morning indeed!! Ice that hip and put some liquid magnesium on it (or soak in Epsom salts).

Josse, I am running UV Half this weekend. Then I'll do a few more half marathons over the summer and cap it off with either St George or Huntsville or both. How about you?

I'm running UVM then some halves finishing with SGM. UV may be a train wreck but i just want to see what I can do off my half ironman training.

Yikes. Glad everyone is okay. Nice tempo too!
