was kind of worried in the morning because i hadn't been getting very much sleep the past 2 nights, but that morning i felt good. before the race i warmed up about 1/4 of a mile and did some streches then went to the front. Me, manu, and colten started in front at a very easy pace and no one came close to us so we knew it would be pretty easy. us three pushed at a solid pace and at about mile 1.5 manu fell off, so me and colton pushed more. we were only going tempo pace pretty much the whole time and when i realized i was only 100 meters away from the finish line i took off. i out sprinted colton barely but i wish that i was able to know a mile before so i could push harder. i should have got around a 17:30 so i was kind of sad. It seems that i am not improving at all.........  i am really sore today mostly the top of my feet, which means i think that i was running on my toes right.

Nice, Michael, nice.

What do you mean not improving - this is your first decent effort in nearly six months. I think you ran well and should be pleased with it. Like you said, it was more of a tempo pace run, you felt good and easy, and most importantly no pain! Things will be totally back to normal + in just a month or so!

Mike, from what I have heard you have been doing great and improving muchly! Don't let your head get to you, keep a positive vibe! Nice job on the race!!
