WU = not breathing well and no energy

Race = more of the same; good thing about hitting a race with friends is if I can't hit my time hopefully others will.  They did!  JH rocked it out with the sweetest PR drop of minutes versus last year!  He is running strong and showing how his hard work is paying off (6th PR race in a row!!).  JB won overall setting a new PR that few non-Masters can run...less than 2-weeks off his marathon = "OK Runner Elite" for sure.  Ian is just crazy good and runs with amazing determination; he broke 30 and landed at 2nd overall.  Danny P just shows us how getting older and retiring from work means little since he won his AG and got on the OK 8K Record book!  I have always admired Danny and continue too.  And Court ran 10-sec per mile faster than she told me and took 4th overall including some RC$ (and she felt pitiful going into race...she surprises me with some of her race efforts as she puts it into compete mode).  

I did my best.  Couldn't have done any better.  Bottom-line is I have hit rock bottom of falling into Over-reaching Syndrome (or Over Training Syndrome).  Google it.  Might skim over it when feeling good and think it can't happen to me...but it did.  No Dr. or Coach can tell you exactly when you will be there...but once you are there, many of the symptoms just take you down.  Lucky for me I have two weeks to get this fixed.  Not a bad race for me all things considered and blessed that all my friends and wife ran races to be proud of!  I am proud of them!!
