Ran in the SDSU Classic this weekend for the second time since graduating college and the last time I ran was 2013. My time in 2013 was 32:58 and this past weekend it was 32:10 on a swollen ankle from last Sundays trail run. Overall it was a pretty good race in which I felt strong until about mile 3 then the last 1.92 miles felt pretty tough. At that point in the race I was kind of stuck in no mans land yet again which the guy in front of me was just over a minute and I ran the last 2k by myself. Two young college punks did close the gap between me and them in the last 200 yards but I had built up just enough of a gap that they couldn't get me but it was a close call. It was fun to see some old friends and toe the line with some super fast kids that will probably be running at the NCAA Division National Championships this November.
Ran 2 mile warm up, 8K race then cooled down watching the Divisions I Lady's 5k in which there are some fast chicks. SDSU represented well in the meet and it was nice having the boys cheering me on since it was a loop course they got to see and cheer for me a lot. Loops 1k, 1k, 2k, 2k, 2k = 8k
We finished off the day with tailgating before the big SDSU NDSU football game in which we lost but had fun.
My ankle held up good but is a little stiff and still a little swollen.
