Horrible Run and Race Schedule.

Probably one of the worst runs of my life this morning.  Fifteen miles, miles 1 and 2 were rough, I thought I was just sore and warming up.  Miles 3-10 were tolerable, but my legs, back, and arms were noticeably sore and tight.  The last five miles were at a shuffle pace.  Too tight to move fast at all.

I have no clue what was wrong with me this morning.  I think part of it was from carrying water to and from an aid station yesterday (up a steep hill) and the rest was from playing basketball Friday night.  Hope it gets better soon.  I don't really enjoy playing basketball anymore... I think it's time to quit.

But in happy news, I've set a race schedule (at least tentatively) for eary next year: 

Rock Creek Trail Series 10K, Half Marathon, 25K, and 50K.  (March, May, July, and October) 
January 16th Topeka to Auburn Half marathon. 
April 18th  Kansas Marathon (Lawrence)
Heartland 50  October 2010
A couple of ultras.... Free State?  Rockin K?  Leadv... no not that one. 

Ok so it's not really nailed down, but I'm certain about the two road races, and the trail series.  The others I'll just fill in with as I feel appropriate.

Also I ordered 6 pairs of new shoes this week from a website that was clearancing racing flats.  Yes... 6 pairs for less than 65 dollars total.  I'll post a picture when they all come in.  Also free shipping on these!
