The good news is that I've been consistently running faster then I have earlier this year, and ever. Last year my best pace was in a race at it was a 9:38 mile. Lately I've been running around that pace. Tonight I ran at a 9:02 pace. The problem is that I've been averaging about 2 laps (2.3 miles) usually, which is frustrating, because I try for at least 3 laps or 3.4 miles.
I've been fighting cramps mostly, and I think it's because when I do run, I eat when I get home, and go running an hour later. I try to give enough time, but I've got to try w/o because it sucks when I have to hold up after 2 laps.
Crazy busy weekend coming up, we are planning on seeing OLP in Friday at Artpark, have to drive to Jessica's parents house on Saturday, as they have 2 row seats for a concert w/ REO speedwagon and Styx ;p and then my parents will be having their annual 4th of July party on Sunday, which we have to drive 4 hours back for. Because of this schedule, it is the first time that I will not be going to see fireworks for the first time that I can remember. Sux. Esp. considering that I've gone to EA fireworks as long as they've had them (never mind the horrific "lazer light show" years). I'm willing to give it up to see OLP for free though.
