I had a great run tonite. Probably the best in at least four months. My knees continue to recover from my tendon-yanking day. I limit myself to just 25 miles/week of running, and gym the other days. I usually take one or two days off every week. I probably get a wimpy two miles of biking in every day as I zip around.

My car may roll over 12,300 miles next week. Since I bought the car five years ago I’ve run about 6,500 miles. I wonder how much longer I can sustain the 2:1 ratio.

There is a 5k race this weekend (believe it or not it is for hurricane relief). This will be the first one since the first week of June (within 30 miles of here). Then there are two more this year. I remember back in the good old days of living in Michigan when I would average 50 5k runs each year. I sure have a lot of t-shirts from those days. Now I get my six shirts every year. For a healthy community I would have thought there would actually be a more running events. I actually finished 2nd overall in a race last year. Something tells me that would NEVER happen in a city.

I’m looking forward to this 5k. Since I haven’t run one since early June (20:34) I’m hoping I can get below 21:30, but am not sure. I’ll let you know how it goes.

[Update] I just realized the race is during the Fins game on a Sunday afternoon. What kind of ludicrous scheduling is that? I guess I’ll have to wait for the one at the end of October, and then the end of November for my two races this fall. This village has NEVER had a 5k in the evening. Guess the soccer families are busy driving kids around in SUVs during that time. Or maybe it is because it is so hot and humid here most of the year. Or runners only run at 5am around here, since the kids are still asleep at that hour.
