Post NYC

Still shocked on Geb, as are many of his former colleagues and the running community in general. Will he reconsider? I hope so. He has openly stated his desires to run 2012 London Olympics, and I suspect after a few weeks of healing and deliberation that he may resume his training. We shall see. Here are some of the celebrity results from NYC - impressive all around, and loved that former tennis pro Justin Gimelstob and Andy Roddick had a fun wager going with a happy ending. Pretty impressed with the trapped Chilean miner that finished the race - an amazing story all around, and a fascinating individual in general if you caught any of his press conference before the race (sang some of his favorite Elvis songs). And finally, a bizarre post from Ryan Hall's blog - a little confused to where he is going with this, but actions ultimately speak louder than words and hopefully he knows what he is doing.

Last night, ran a workout solo since I was too late for the Big River Run, and Crystal had already started hers. Perfect day to run - cool, and breezy. Did my GC loop, then jumped on the trail for a couple more. Was hurting after a couple miles, tried to calm down, then finished somewhat strong. Another frustrating workout since it took 500 times more effort than it should have. Total mileage: 6 miles - splits were: 7:42, 7:40, 8:01, 8:09, 7:48, 6:58.

Easy mileage and drills tonight, then to the doctor finally tomorrow and hopefully he can fix me up!
