On Saturday I did the 30th Norwalk Summer Series 11 miler wasn't my best time for the race but it sure was a gorgeous day for running. This course is very hilly. I wished I'd done better but I'm happy with it, I did better than last year by about 3 minutes . Previous years I've done between 1:41 and 1:43 my best time for the course was 1:37 in 2003.
Later at 7:00pm I did a new 5k The Southwest Cafe Sunset 5K out and back. the out was tough and very hilly the back was a breeze again not my best 5k but after the 11 miler I couldn't be happier. Any way it was a chance for me to win 2 round trip tickets to Mexico!!!
This morning I attempted my long run again it was great. I was going for 18 miler I only complete 16. Lets just say the last 2 miles was big struggle, all my fault of course. Running two races in one day the day before your long run, bad idea. I just hope to get one really good one in before the marathons!!

Wow, girlie. 2 races the day before a long run?? Some day I will grow up...
My 11 miles took me way over 2 hours. I would have been in horror trying to do a 5k last night :) (but then again, 11 WAS my long run!)

LOL. Damn, Bob, that's funny. :-)
Just another 75 mile week with plenty of speed work in the books, huh? Piece of cake...
You're one of the few people I know training for more than one marathon. Keep up the good work & stay healthy.
Saturday was completed in true Dawn style. Great mileage for the week. You will be ready for those marathons.
