2007 Pittsylvania XC Challenge
Thisentryis part 11 of 13 in the series 2007 RunningOn November 10, I ran in WPTC's XC Challenge and finished in a sluggish 34:06. Last year I finished in 32:03, and I'd hoped to break 30:00 this year. Oh well, I can't expect much considering how badly screwed up my training has been due to […]

2007 Run Around the Square 5K
Thisentryis part 7 of 13 in the series 2007 RunningOn August 25, I ran the Run Around the Square 5K. Since I'd run about 9 miles the day before (in preparation for the IKEA Half Marathon), I treated the race as a tempo run. I finished in 27:59 (9:01 pace), which isn't great (and is […]
