Did the Riverside V 5-mile run this evening on the Fant Parkway. I had hoped to be just a bit faster than an 8 minute mile pace, especially since I hadn't run since Monday. It worked out fine.....I finished the distance in 36:38, a 7:20 mile pace, and got first place in my age group (50-54)! I just hope I can move my legs in the morning! The whole run went well with my first mile being a 7:10, then each mile in order was 7:53, 6:57, 7:14, and 7:24. That second mile I was obviously recovering from the first fast mile but then I did a faster third mile! Wierd about that......however, I was 44th overall but I don't know how many total runners there were.
Most of my day was spent on the house and I got the back yard mowed, hopefully for the last time until the spring. There's plenty to do outside in the next couple of weeks and I hope I can do it. I made a deal with the owner of Sportspectrum to design the T-shirt art for the Turkey Trot 5K run on Thanksgiving morning in trade for a pair of Asic running shoes...I need a new pair! He's getting the better end of the deal but that's better than me shelling out $130 for a pair of Gel-Kyano's!
Also got a letter and form from the IRS to fill out today. It's something to do with my electronic income tax form declaration last April and their signature method. All I know is that I did everything I was told to do when I submitted my income taxes back then, but if they need me to fill out this form to make everything nice then I'll do it. At least they apologize for any inconvenience this request may cause me!! I hope you note the sarcasm I've tried to interject here.......
Spoke to Jonnene very early this morning and it was very nice, as usual. In two weeks I'm on my way there! Yeah! I can't wait to see her and she promises to pay extra special attention to me while I'm there.....Yeah! again.
