i ran just over 11 tonight. didn't feel that great but i guess it went ok. i wore a new pair of shoes and i expected to feel very bouncy and light but alas i did not. i guess i should start drinking water again.

i received my race bib in the mail today for this upcoming sunday's 25k race. its a palindrome: 878. that has to be good luck right? i don't plan on going all out for the race but i want to run the second half faster than the first. i may try for 9's and then 8:30's. no need to get crazy with only 31 days to TCM. zoinks!
