That was fun , more or less the same as last year just a couple of minutes slower.  I really didnt know what to expect today after the week I had.  Went to bed a 8:00 pm with the alarm set for 4:40 am.   Slept well plus its been 2 days of antibiotics so I woke up feeling like a new man.   It was a pretty simple plan,   run a bunch of 6:00 Ks and see what happens.  Reeled it in a bit on the last of 3 laps when I caught the heart rate rise into the 150s.   Cant sustain 150's last few Ks are OK but otherwise 140's.  Right foot cramped allot on the second lap.  Thought for a bit I may have to stop and massage it but it quieted down on the third lap...I can usually run through it.  

 My official time was 2:16:41 good for 34th out of 46 participants.   7K splits were
