The Fairfield Half
I got out there and did it. I finished not much better than last year. Conditions seemed a tad bit better than last year but it really wasn't. I really wanted to give up but I stuck with it till the end. My only goal today was to stay below two hours but I blew it by going out too fast and dieing on the hills the same hills I've ran since 2003 the same hills I tend to forget about until I'm in the race again. I believe I netted, according to my Garmin 2:05:56. Past results:
2003- 1:55:18/ 2004- 1:57: 17/ 2005- 2:07:41
Anyone completing the race today put in some tremendous efforts. Humidity, I believe to be at least 90 percent. This is not an easy course.

PS: Kelly's team ended the season with 15-0-1 on Friday. Playoffs start Monday. Elliott's spring football blue/red game went well. He was in the game 95% of the time which is good. He was on the blue time and they won!!!

This week was a tough one. I was tired on must of my runs. Felt like a ton of bricks. I should have rested at least one day this week.

Yes, good for you, Dawn. The humidity can be a killer....way to stick it out.
