This morning started off with a pretty nasty rainstorm, as it has for the past few days, so I didn't really expect to have a meet at all. Regardless, I got up at 5am, downed some pancakes and coffee, and set off for school to start the two-hour trek, and try to convince him to do a closer road race instead.
To no avail, we finally arrived at Kutztown University; a very nice school with a beautiful campus. Right before the start a painful, cold rain started and I knew today would be fun.
The course was 2 loops out and back, first mile had a slight downhill and I went out in 6:16, two-mile split was 13:10, and no splits on from that point. Finished in 33:40, only one second slower than last week in much worse conditions and tougher course so overall I am happy.
This week, we plan to start increasing our mileage because it has been really pitiful lately.
On a non-running related note I had my first baseball game today in the 18+ Men's league with my dad/cousins and friend. I was the starting pitcher and went 4 Innings, 3 Runs, 2 Earned, 6 hits, 5 walks, 1 HBP, and 2 strikeouts. For never pitching before I was very happy with my performance. I went 0-4 and we went on to lose 7-4 in extra innings.
The field was destroyed from the storms the past few days, so it was basically playing baseball in quicksand.
Weekly Mileage: 19.1; going to break the 10% rule and try to get the team up to 25-30 this week.
