@Texas84 - you're crazy but I fully support you!
The past two weeks I have been experiencing cramps (the stitch in your side kind) when running, even at a fairly easy pace. After feeling the cramps for the first three miles of my run today I figured out that my breathing had become pretty shallow, I am connecting this with the increased temps we have been experiencing (you know summer and all) and so at that point I consciously started breathing more deeply and guess what? It stopped about 15 seconds later.

Honestly, breathing while running is a problem for me. I have to work at it.Disneyland. Disneyland.

Sorry, have to brag one more time. Final results are in and I finished 5th in the Chick-fil-A Middle Georgia series. Currently 7th in the overall series thanks to their half. No free chicken for me though.
If you can't brag about your running here, where can you?! We all love to hear about one another's successes. Congratulations.

1 1/2 mi at 9mi/hr pace, then 1 1/2 mi at 9.5 mi/hr pace with the last .1@10mi/hr pace. Right around a 20:10 5k. Not bad, but I need to keep pushing.

4.3 miles at 8:54 pace this morning. I almost didn't go out for my run. I woke up with a pain between my two smallest toes on one foot and thought I had a cut or blister or something but it's just muscular, I think. It doesn't hurt as much when I wear sneakers as when I'm barefoot, so I went ahead and set out willing to cut my run short if needed. Luckily it wasn't, I could feel the spot but the pain wasn't bad enough to stop me and it got a bit better after the first mile or so.
I got to the mountain bike trail by myself yesterday morning for the first time ever. I stuck to the beginner and beginner + trails just to be safe since I was alone and had never ridden the intermediate trail at this park. I did several loops and ended up logging 4.75 miles. I also learned that I'm going to have to stick to the beginner trail with DS6 for a while, there is a big hill on the beginner + trail, which I had never been, on that he's not ready for yet.

NYRR Mini 10k - This race has tons of history - in 1972 it became the world's first women's only road race, thanks to female running pioneers like Katherine Switzer, Nina Kuscsik (who were both there!!) and Fred Lebow (founder of New York Road Runners and the NYC Marathon). To get sponsors and any media coverage for the first running of this race in 1972 they had to have Playboy bunnies out on the course and only 78 women ran. Man we have come a long way... The race still retains the mini name which was originally for the mini skirt, so to embrace the mini skirt there were plenty of sparkle skirts and tutus out on the course.
Thankfully there were no bunnies out on the course this this edition that had over 5800 finishers. This race has $10,000 first prize, and a bonus of $5,000 for the first American to cross the line so plenty of pros show up. Spoiler- Molly Huddle won with a blazing 31:37.
The course - is not the standard Central Park 10k, which consists of a full loop with and extra .2. This race actually starts at Columbus Circle and goes straight up Central Park West to enter the park at 90th St which is a deceptive slow climb for 30 blocks. Once in the park runners have to contend with hills 400ft up, 600ft down, and another 400ft up through mile 4. My plan was to take it easy through the first four miles since the would have the most elevation and then "race" that last two miles. As long as I broke my old 10k record of 52:01 I would be happy, but of course I had a secret "A" goal.
The race - well summer is here, when you start sweating doing a warm up in the corrals you know its going to be a sticky one. Despite the heat it was a solid race with lots of guys out on the course from local running clubs supporting the runners which made for a fun atmosphere. There were also lots of people wearing jerseys for the World Cup which was fun because people would yell out the country names as they went by.
Result - I was able to pull out 49:25 which was my "A" goal of under 50 minutes. I know I can run a faster 10k than that but for this race and the conditions I am very happy with the result. I was 474th overall and 119th in my AG. I have a much flatter 10k planned for next weekend so I will see what I can really pull out as I bombed miserably in that race last year (martinis the night before a race = bad idea)
Swag - so the race shirt was a super odd fitting tank which I will likely never wear, a medal, a carnation, and PINK bagels. Yes they had amazing plain NYC bagels that they tinted pink, ah-mazing.

An easy 9 miles this morning. Had a scare while doing it. I got too close to the edge of the trail and rolled my ankle. As it was happening I thought "there goes 10 weeks of training" for my race in 2 weeks. I was able to keep running though and it feels fine now, so disaster averted.
