Shoal Creek, Town Lake, Congress

Time: 64:47
Distance: 9.5 mi.

Mid-morning easy ("slow as you can go") run with Hanley and Burnham. Met Dave at his house and then headed all the way down Shoal Creek to Town Lake, across to Congress and back through campus. Right hamstring/glute pretty tight at the beginning, and legs were pretty stiff throughout the run and afterwards, definitely resulting from the workout yesterday.

Before the run I caught the Olympic Trails Marathon, which was broadcast online. Ryan Hall completely dominated the race, followed by Dathan Ritzenhein and Brian Sell. A pretty inspiring performance... Hall's 5k splits: 16:44, 15:41, 15:27, 15:12, 15:05, 14:48, 14:28, 14:56.

South Congress, Shoal Creek

Time: 90:00
Distance: 13.5 mi.


The view downtown from South Congress

Morning run with Erik through campus and downtown to the South Congress area, back with a little loop on Town Lake, Shoal Creek and finishing at the track to give a hand at the Marathon Kids event. Legs definitely tired and it started getting hot by the time we were done around 10, but definitely made it a good recovery run.
