Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 80, humid

Comments:
This run plain sucked. I was kind of sore from yesterday, but that wasn't the real problem. I ate a steak dinner beforehand, there was mud up to my ankles, it was humid, and the bugs were bad. Tom ran with me and his stomach was tearing him up too. We wanted to get the run out of the way so we could be back in time to watch the 1500 in the Olympic Trials. That pissed me off even more. I was rooting for Alan Webb (The American Record Holder), Rob Meyers (He is from 30 minutes east of gambier), and Will Leer (He went to a D3 school). Well none of them made it. I understand championship races are supposed to be tactical, but they went out in 61, 2:00. I watched Ryan Place and Brian Harvey go out that fast at the Washington and Jefferson Meet. If Alan Webb has run 3:46 for the mile, why the hell did he let slower guys in the race and mess up a chance at the olympic team.
