AM: 10.35 miles easy on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail with Ken, Albert, Bob, and Bret. It was an extremely peaceful run with the darkness, cool air, and headlamps. My legs feel totally normal. I'm trying to stay cautious though and overcome the temptation for a push tomorrow.

I was checking the elite entries to Big Sur today and it's stacked! A few of the top Americans are Ian Burrell and Sergio Reyes. Last year a 1:04 won the race and 1:10 took 8th (the last podium spot). This year there's two guys with 1:01 PRs, four guys with 1:02, two 1:03, one 1:04, and a handful of 1:05-1:06 guys. Lots of Kenyans and Morrocans. I'm looking at maybe 10th with a near perfect race for me. That's ok. I don't need to finish on the podium, I just need a huge non-aided PR! Should be a fun race and hopefully the excellent competition can pull me along.

PM: 4.35 miles. I felt like a million bucks and the pace got faster as I went, so I just rolled with it. The light rain was annoying at first, but then it was invigorating.

That's a good field. Its always a very competitive race. Sergio just ran a good marathon over the weekend.

The coordinator for Indy said that as of today, they've got 5 who have run under 65 in the last year and 11 more who have run under 67 (myself in that group), plus a handful of recent post-collegiates with good 5/10K times making their HM debut. That was music to my ears!

Wow. Crazy field!

So, Ryan Hall's name has been added to the field. That's interesting. The odd number bibs are given the the men (even to the women). I am bib #25, so top ten is the goal. That would be 3-4 spots higher than I'm ranked coming in.

From Jake K on Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 13:39:19 from 67.177.11.154

I would move yourself up a spot. Hall has been on a lot of entry lists, but he usually doesn't end up running.

From RileyCook on Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 13:46:48 from 132.3.57.82

Dang, I was hoping you'd say move me up since I can beat Hall :-)

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if he didn't show. I hope he does though, that'd be cool. I actually wouldn't be surprised if 3-4 guys didn't show.

From Jake K on Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 13:52:44 from 67.177.11.154

He just dropped from NYC today, so I guess its feasible he's doing this instead. But then again, he's dropped from several 1/2s in a row too. I feel bad for the guy.
