2 Race Dates Finalized

I have known about both of these dates for a while so I'm not sure why I haven't posted anything in a while. This weekend I travel to Youngstown, Ohio for the Peace Race 10k on Sunday. It's a great event and it will be my first trip to Youngstown so I'm looking forward to it. Training has been going well, highlighted by a 10-mile threshold run in 51:27 with the last 4 miles in 19:58. On Tuesday I had a minor setback during a session when I twisted my ankle on a root during my workout. The ankle seems to be fine but I've hurt one of my hip flexers/adductors. Oddly, it hurts less to run than to walk or get dressed. Either way, I'm set for a good run on Sunday.

I'm headed back to San Jose to defend my title at the Seagate Elite Athlete 5k. The race director there, Mark Winitz, did a great job last year and I'm looking forward to getting back out there. I'll post more about the Peace Race in the coming days.
