I just wanted to get in a hard effort with Nate. First mile was 4:41? but uphill.

Then i realized i was in trouble and decided to run easy until 3rd place runner (Mark Hudson) caught up to me. I figured that majority of the people I race in these road races I can out kick so that was the plan for the finish. It worked well and i ended up 2nd in 26:20. Not a great time but i got the $150 which was the goal going in.

Race was basically to make some money. Ruben wanted to go out hard so I paced him through the first mile just under 4:40 then settled in with Ben Ndaya until the last 800 went I made my move to secure 2nd. I could have run faster but the whole point of today was to help Ruben out and make some money. This is my first post collegiate prize money in a road race. It a lot different when your running for place and the money than an all out effort for time. Congrats to Ruben on his win 14:43 and the course record. Also to Jason Dedonato who is an old teammate from uml who finished 4th in the race.

For this workout I was very cautious at the beginning because I have always been nervous about the longer prog runs.  I just have it in my head for some reason that I cant run that long for a quick pace during a workout.  So I took it very slow the first few miles.  As the workout went on I just kept feeling better and better.  The only bad thing to come of this was I got a weird cramp in my upper abs that I have never felt before.  It was only the last half mile of the workout but still had me a little nervous.  Other than that I am really excited about this workout and now when I attempt the longer stuff in the future it wont be such a head game with myself.

Sunday
am- Douglas fun run 5k- 1st place- 17:29
This race was to run as easy as possible but win some prize money.  Which I did but again I got the same cramp with about 1200 left.  This time it got so bad that I had to stop and walk for a bit because it hurt so bad and I couldn't run.  
w/up- 5 miles c/down- 7 miles

Total- 114 miles

I am very happy with how this week of training went.  I took a very easy low miles day and still managed to get in 114 miles.  I also had my best progression run ever.  The only down side to this week is the pain in my lower abs.  I'm going to workout on Wednesday next week to see how it feels.  If it doesn't bother me then I will be racing Mayors Cup on Sunday.  If for some reason the pain is still there then I will have to sit down with Gary and figure out what we want to do.
