Did an impromptu 5K tonite, basically walked up to the registration table and was running about 10 min later haha I guess the spontanaiety of it didn't give me time to really "think". It was a good run despite the rain, but if I'm running in La in July at night and in the rain isn't a bad way to do it haha Some of the "hill" training that I've been doing transferred, I felt more at ease at a faster pace than normal, however I did have some lower back pain and some knee pain, but I believe that all stems from my shoes being shot! definitely time for a new pair. I have 2wks before my Du so I'll start tapering soon, we've had a lot of rain the last few weeks which means i havent put in many bike miles but I think I'll be fine..

7rider, which Du are you doing?
