Kommish77 - I got under 90 minutes once and barely (89:58). Before had the champion chip I finished a couple times around 91 minutes so I'm sure those races were also below 90 minutes since it took me a couple minutes to get to the start. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a cool morning. Once I ran it when the start was 55 degrees so wouldn't that be nice??? If you haven't already registered for the **** run or haven't committed to it, you might want to run the Crim training run on the 13th (see note before this one above).

Well, I used to be faster but don't expect anything near 90 minutes (unless I take a shortcut). Since I haven't run it in over 10 years and just started running again in April..... I'm expecting to finish in over 2 hours. I'm just doing it to do it and finish. The 10K I did a couple weeks ago was a 12:30 average pace. In my heyday, I used to train on the Crim course or parts of it like you a few times before the race. I've never run the Bastille. Actually, my next race may be the Poker Challege 12K in Mt. Morris on August 5 but not sure about that yet. This heat has taken a toll on my training but I'd rather have the heat now than race day. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Mark: I've had to wait for my shoes at Bauman's, too, in the past but it's worth the wait..... to get the shoes you really like. Good job on the Bastille. I'm sure the heat took it's toll on everyone. I was hoping for a long training run Saturday but just did not have it in me and quit around 4.5 miles. I went out around 6:00 a.m. and tshirt was more wet than dry. I can imagine how hot it was at your race time. I would like to run that race sometime tho. Maybe next year. Oh, the Tuuri..... when I was in shape and faster, I ran the 10K and thought the hills were brutal (worse than the Bradley's or up Third Avenue). My knees ached for a week or two after the race. I vowed never to do the 10K again so switched to the 5K. But if you've never done the 10K you might want to try it and make that decision next year for yourself. If I remember correctly, the 10K starts an hour earlier than the 5K..... maybe even 7:30. That's a big bonus. The 10K is a great race tho.

Anachrotech: The weather is effecting me, too, but it'll pass. I put you on the list. We can always blame the weather if we're slower than we hoped .
