SARANAC LAKE — The Plattsburgh High boys' soccer team couldn't have asked for a better way to start its game Tuesday.
Garrett Frady opened scoring with just 1:58 gone, while Dan Mihal added the eventual game-winning goal in the second half as the Hornets (4-3) upset No. 18 Saranac Lake in Northern Soccer League play, 2-1.
"They were hungrier at the start of the game than we were," Red Storm (5-1-1) coach Joshua Marlow said. "I thought they did a nice job in the first half of controlling the game with their passes."
Frady scored an early goal off a bar down rebound with less than two minutes gone by.
Brady Channell registered the assist.
Forty-three minutes later, Saranac Lake got on the board after an own goal at 4:58.
With the match tied at 1-all, Dan Mihal sent home a shot at 9:12 to help Plattsburgh High knock off the previously unbeaten Red Storm.
"I thought that we really put the pressure on in the second half, but it was one half too late," Marlow said. "It was a great game for the fans and a stressful one for the coaches. Both teams had good looks at the net.
"Aaron Noel and Logan Wood played well for the Red Storm as did forward Devin Cowan. Shawn Snyder added valuable plays in limited time off the Saranac Lake bench."
Yanis Yahiaui was credited with the assist on Mihal's goal.
Mike Stetz collected the win between the pipes for the Hornets, registering six saves.
Liam Chaskey, John Fine-Lease and Ryan Whalen all played well on defense, while Frady played a great game for the Plattsburgh High offense, according to Marlow.

PLATTSBURGH — Kaden Baugh scored the game's lone tally as the Knights picked up their second consecutive win over the Lions.
"I credit Elizabethtown-Lewis and its midfield," Seton Catholic coach Mike Eppler said. "They controlled the midfield in the second half, and they totally shut us down. Joel Morris, Caleb Denton, Hugh Harwood and stopper Trevor Brooks were outstanding."
Baugh scored with 17:02 gone in the first half. After making a run across midfield, he received a one-time feed from Noah Osborne. Baugh buried the low shot into the far corner of the goal.
Keagan Briggs was credited with the win in net for the Knights, making nine saves.

Brothers put Chazy on the board at 14:00 of the first half. Alec Lapierre helped setup the tally.
Then, Rabideau extended Chazy's differential to two goals, sending home Hayden Guay's corner kick at 15:44.

Justin Lough helped the Wildcats get on the board at 2:14 of the first half with the assist credited to Nate Peace.
Noah Macey, however, tied the game at 1-all with 9:09 remaining in regulation on a feed from Judd DeBrobander.
"Both teams did a good job controlling and passing," Pertak said.
The two teams combined for 55 shots.
Schroon Lake's Caleb Maisonville made 17 saves, while Panthers netminder Brendan Crowningshield finished with 14 stops in the match.

PERU — Kyle Constanty's goal with 43 seconds remaining in the second overtime lifted the Eagles past the Indians.
Beekmantown appeared to have been cruising with a pair of goals within the first 10 minutes of the game.
Skye Dominy got the Eagles on the board with an assist from Ryan Waterbury. Alex Price made it 2-0 at 9:41.
Peru, though, got a late first-half goal from Justin LaPorte to pull within one before the half. Jessy Dick and Connor Turgeon were each credited with an assist.
Peter Daly made it 2-all at the 24:30 mark of the second half, which ended up sending the game into overtime.

News: Joell Ortiz Clears Up 'Watch The Throne' Jabs, "I Thought It Was OK" [Video]
Friday, Aug 12, 2011 5:38PM
Slaughterhouse's Joell Ortiz has stepped forward to clarify remarks he made toward Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne joint album and admitted he may have prejudged the project too early.
Mr. Yaowa said he only heard a few tracks upon downplaying the album's content.
"That may have not been me. Yeah, my phone was dead last night," Ortiz jokingly said about his controversial tweets. "I ain't get a chance to lock in on it. I heard like two or three joints, and I thought it was OK. It was cool. I gotta hear the whole project to give my full opinion. I heard two or three on the radio I believe, yesterday, and they were cool." ("Shade 45")
Prior to removing the tweet, Ortiz taunted fans supporting Jay and Ye's new LP.
"You B*tches need to get off them n*gga's lap sittin on that so called throne already. Quit being them n*ggas court jester-monkey. #nohate" (Joell Ortiz's Twitter)
Earlier this week, Jay-Z nemesis Game rated Watch the Throne a 7 out of 10.
"Yeah [I heard the album]. The Swizz [Beatz] one is crazy, the Frank Ocean one is crazy too. Yeah. Some people haven't even heard it yet, that's bad. I think it's a good, good seven," Game said when asked by radio host Jenny Boom Boom to rate it from 1 to 10. "Seven. Yeah. Well, you know six points went to Kanye. [R.E.D. Album] is not going to be better than Watch the Throne. So you don't gotta worry about that. [How come?] What? Did you just hear that [record]? I can't compete man, but, The R.E.D. Album is pretty decent. It's going to sound like Lil Zane's first album. We working. August 23rd, R.E.D. Album in stores." ("Jenny Boom Boom")
A few days ago, producer 9th Wonder admitted Watch the Throne did not fully satisfy him.
"#WTT as a whole is not for me. I can rock with New Day & The Joy," he tweeted August 8th.
"As a musician/beatmaker/active participant in hip-hop, I want to be SCARED when I hear something, like when I heard Aquemini." (9th Wonder's Twitter)

Having previously warned backers that they would likely miss Shadowrun Returns' original estimated release target of January 2013 due to the increased scope of the Kickstarter-funded project, developer Hairbrained Schemes has narrowed the delay window down to be "looking at May or June" 2013 (via Polygon):
During its initial Kickstarter funding the studio planned for a scheduled launch in Jan. 2013, with releases on PC, iOS and Android devices; However, following a highly successful campaign which saw a 470 percent increase on the studio's original $400,000 funding goal — jumping to nearly $1.9 million via Kickstarter and PayPal contributions — the project grew in scale.On top of the project's initial ambitions, stretch goals added during the project's wildly successful crowdfunding drive included the plots of the Super Nintendo and Sega Megadrive Shadowrun games being woven in together for closure, the composers of the memorable soundtracks of both of those 8-bit games collaborating together on the new game's score, and the implementation of "Physical Adepts" --a character class described as mystical ninjas.
Swing by the Kickstarter project page for all the details.

are you going to have the two person system also? be fun to have a real DUAL with buddies and have the computer say who won.
We have no plans to build another cinema range here, however there are scenarios that allow you to compete against a friend with steel plates, duelling trees and various random targets.
this is like a very cool version of the GAY army SIM center...

Was there an announcer to be named later?
Or a minor league manager included?
Essentially, former Red Sox manager Terry Francona and former ESPN analyst Bobby Valentine have traded jobs; Francona will be joining ESPN as an analyst on "Sunday Night Baseball", replacing Valentine, who recently signed a deal to manage the Red Sox.
Francona, 52, will replace Bobby Valentine as a "Sunday Night Baseball" analyst, alongside Dan Shulman and Orel Hershiser, and will also appear on the sports network's "Baseball Tonight" studio program and as an analyst for the Little League World Series. It was not lost on Francona that his new gig, along with Valentine's new position as the Red Sox's skipper, represents an unintentional swap of sorts, and he was able to laugh about it while embracing his new opportunity.
"One thing I do know is, I'll probably sleep better than Bobby next year," Francona said. "From where I was last year, I probably needed to step back. And this was a very refreshing way to do that."
Francona served as an emergency fill-in for Tim McCarver on Fox-TV's telecasts of the first two games of the ALCS this past October; most fans viewing the games saw Francona as "refreshing", as the former Boston manager might have put it, and many wished that Fox would hire him full-time and put McCarver, who turned 70 in October, into retirement. After it was announced Wednesday that McCarver is the recipient of the Hall of Fame's Frick Award for excellence in broadcasting in 2012, it appears we're stuck with McCarver for some time to come. Meanwhile, Francona's performance was especially good considering he had essentially never done it before, previously having been behind the microphone for just one radio broadcast.
A number of men have gone back and forth from managing to the broadcast booth and back; Joe Torre is an excellent example, serving as a broadcaster for the Angels in between stints as Braves and Cardinals manager. A situation comparable to Francona's might be that of Lou Piniella, who took a one-year break from managing after leaving Tampa Bay following the 2005 season; after one year as a Fox-TV analyst, he returned as manager of the Chicago Cubs in 2007, taking them to consecutive playoff appearances. It's not likely we've seen the last of Francona in the manager's chair, but he said won't ask for tips from for his "trade partner":
Francona had to chuckle a bit when asked if he had solicited any advice on the nuances of broadcasting from his successor in the Boston dugout.
"I think Bobby's got his hands full," Francona said. "He's got more important things than figuring out whether I'm going to be a good analyst. He's got to put together a team."

Checking out the media this week...
That's mainly because I was angered by the split. Cue Jayson Stark telling us when the last time a team played a doubleheader and its two starters went 9 / 0. Anyway, my response to Eric would be to bunt more. Everyone should bunt. Bunt bunt bunt.
Is downtown really this rough?
I don't get back to downtown Cleveland more than once or twice a year now, but I thought this Globe & Mail blogger's take was excessive: Cleveland is a "sad metropolis that turns into a ghost town at nights and over the weekends."
I wish I would have come up with this idea.
A very nice series on beisbol in the DR from Slate.
I'm beginning to like this blog more and more.
At first I was lukewarm to Anthony Castrovince's blog; I went to college with him, and he was roundly unimpressive then. As in, Andrew Swift could out-write and out-clever him using only two fingers and 20% of his brain. But I think Anthony has worked hard to improve his writing and sourcing, and his blog is a lot of fun. He's got a funny entry on Wikipedia today.
I like to check out the media for teams we're about to play, and I thought this column was silly. The author essentially argues, "Every late and close situation should be superstar hitter vs. pitcher. Blah blah I don't like when middle infielders have to bat with the game on the line." And is there some sort of rule in the NL that prohibits Carlos Beltran from pinch-hitting?
Why do you have a mailbag if you can't answer mail?
Dear John Donovan,
When a reader makes a stupid comment, you can either print their email and refute it in swift, simple, devastating fashion, or you can not print it at all. Otherwise, what's the point? (I'm referring to the Sizemore overrated letter).
Six-year olds know more than some managers.
The inimitable JoePos has a rant against the intentional walk, complete with too-cute-to-believe anecdote. Have you read his blog lately? The man is prolific.
Nothing gets Manny Downs. Okay, mildly Downs.
Really, this gets a headline? He's probably right, and definitely an ass.
And finally, some random observations.
The PD's Tribe section online sucks. The whole online PD is a mess, really. You've got half the article printed on the main page. Readers can't tell if an item was technically an "article," "column," or "blog post." And that's not really a blog they have; I'm amazed they haven't hired someone who can blog or can teach their writers to blog.
I know I dog Underwood and Manning, but they deserve it. Just from memory, here are three standouts from yesterday:
Underwood, commenting on a 2-1 count with a runner on first: "This is a good count to try a hit and run or some other offensive play." What other play would that be?
Underwood's reaction to AbaCab's dinger: "It's outta here, a la Robbie Alomar!" I said this in the game thread, but what kind of idiot references one of the worst moments in your team's history to describe a May home run?
And someone needs to tell Manning that the camera angle from center field does not show a straight-on view to judge balls and strikes. Three times he declared a pitch to be "way off the plate," only to have replay and technology prove him wrong. And yet he still declared that he was correct.

Bayer Crop Science invited area cotton farmers to their annual field day Wednesday, which is catered to introducing crop protection products and biotech traits in cotton.
Farmers are able to pick things that work for them and their crops.
New this year is Glytel Technology, which Bayer says is aggressive technology that farmers can use to spray all season long.
"West Texas and across the area have really struggled with the price of cotton. And with the price of cotton doing what it's doing today, exceeding a dollar in some areas, and on top of that having a tremendous crop out here, it's just a great opportunity for cotton farmers U.S. wide," says Paul Callaghan, global cotton trades manager with Bayer Crop Science.
Bayer says new and better technology in cotton benefits the Lubbock economy, because when farmers have a good crop they can put their dollars into buying necessary equipment.

UK IPv6 Deployment Conference
9.00am - 4.30pm, 24th September, 2004
Michelangelo Room, Renaissance Hotel, Blackfriars Street, Manchester M3 2EQ
NEW: Slides now available here!
Official Event Sponsors
The UK IPv6 Task Force, in conjunction with RIPE and the European IST IPv6 Cluster, is presenting a programme of IPv6 events from 23rd-24th September 2004.
IPv6, the new version of the basic Internet Protocol upon which all Internet communications run, has now reached maturity in the standardisation processes within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). As a result, leading router and systems vendors are delivering commercially supported IPv6 products. These products have allowed a number of national and international networks to deploy production support for IPv6 communications in their backbones, including, but not limited to, many academic research networks.
The UK IPv6 Deployment Conference is targeted at those interested in the current state of play in IPv6 deployment. It aims to present an overview of state-of-the-art in the latest IPv6 deployment technology, including:
- Advanced testbeds, including the US Moonv6 project
- Early IPv6 production deployments, in backbones and enterprises
- IPv4-IPv6 transition and integration technologies
- IPv6 opportunities: new technologies, delivery media and applications
The Conference is co-located with the 49th RIPE Meeting of 20th-24th September, at which Europe's ISPs will gather to discuss technology and policy.
We have scheduled a free European IST IPv6 Cluster meeting on the afternoon before the UK IPv6 Deployment Conference to allow our delegates the opportunity of attending an attractive, fuller one-and-a-half day programme of leading edge IPv6 talks and discussion should they wish to do so:
Thursday 23rd September:

HF Boards' (I know it's HFB) top 10 undrafted U.S. College Free Agents
Every year there are players signed as free agents who were never drafted by NHL teams, particularly out of the U.S. college and highschool systems. (This trend is likely to be reduced in the future as NHL scouts are beginning to recognize the increased quality of competitive hockey). Could the Isle's be interested?

Orakpo won the Bronko Mahugrski Award tonight. As they mention in the article, he was pretty domainating against us in the RRS. I think he might have cost Loadholt some major dollars in the draft with that performance.
I knew that he had a great game, but re-reading his line sorta startled me:
"Orakpo had two sacks, four tackles for a loss and a forced fumble against Oklahoma."
No sadness that he is moving on to the NFL and millions of bucks. One of the other candidates was Brandon Spikes, a LB from Florida.
I don't pay that much attention to the awards season, even the Heisman. It will be intersting to see if Orakpo takes the Bednarik also.

"Good afternoon, statue of 'Make Way for Ducklings.'/Good afternoon, Swan Boat."
Bookworm's interest at 14 months: He has pretty consistently enjoyed this one. It's one that he tends to pick off the shelf and make us read 4 or 5 times in a row.
"Wally stopped at the statue of Ted Williams, one of the greatest hitters that ever lived. As fans admired the statue, they waved, 'Hello, Wally!'"
Bookworm's interest at 15 months: He enjoyed it now and then when very young. He won't sit still for the whole thing now, but may in a few more months.
"One day the ducklings hatched out. First came Jack, then Kack, and then Lack, then Mack and Nack and Ouack and Pack and Quack. Mr. and Mrs. Mallard were bursting with pride. It was a great responsibility taking care of so many ducklings, and it kept them very busy."
Bookworm's interest at 14 months: The pages had been too delicate for him to handle until recently (14 months). I think the lack of color in the illustrations makes it hard to engage him at this point, but this would make a beautiful gift for an older child or one that a younger child can grow into.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — An unusual, late-summer heat wave has enveloped much of the Midwest, putting schools and sports events on hold.
Schools in Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, the Dakotas and Illinois let out early on Monday as temperatures crept toward the mid-90s — beyond in some places. After-school sports practices and evening games were canceled in St. Paul, Minn., and misting stations were keeping people cool at the Minnesota State Fair, where about 90 fairgoers had been treated for heat-related illnesses over the weekend.
The heat wave is supposed to last through much of the week, the National Weather Service said. Heat of this magnitude is unusual for this time of year, but not unprecedented. In Des Moines, Iowa, for instance, temperatures on Aug. 26 have reached at least 100 degrees at least six times since 1881.
School districts took precautions, not wanting to put students and teachers in sweaty — and possibly dangerous — situations.
In central Iowa, Marshalltown Community School District administrators canceled afternoon preschool classes on Monday and Tuesday and were planning to release other students two hours early. Parts of all 10 of district buildings have air conditioning, but some rooms aren't connected.
"The buildings can heat up pretty fast, especially when you have kids in there," district spokesman Jason Staker said. "It's not a good environment for students or teachers."
Five elementary schools in Fargo, North Dakota, canceled classes through Wednesday because the buildings weren't fully air-conditioned. Temperatures inside them on Sunday ranged from 85 degrees to 90 degrees, Fargo Schools Superintendent Jeff Schatz said.
In South Dakota, the Sioux Falls School District continued with classes as scheduled, but spokeswoman DeeAnn Konrad said teachers kept window blinds closed and turned off lights in classrooms. The district was also prepared to move students into cooler rooms at nearby churches and a Christian school, she said.

The Texas Rangers and host Seattle Mariners are 34-34 and tied for third in the American League West - seven games behind Oakland - as they meet in the finale of their three-game series Sunday, but are going in opposite directions. Texas has won three straight following a 4-3 victory Saturday for its second one-run victory in the series while Seattle has lost five in a row. The Mariners have scored the second-fewest runs in the American League and totaled only 10 during their slide.The Rangers are off to an excellent start on their nine-game road trip that will also take them to Oakland and Anaheim. Texas catcher Robinson Chirinos on Saturday went 2-for-4 for the second time in four games and is 4-for-12 with two of his five homers and five of his 17 RBIs during that span. Seattle's Hisashi Iwakuma has lost three of his last four starts while receiving eight runs of support during that span and opposes rookie Nick Martinez, who endured his worst start in his last outing.TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, FSN Southwest (Texas), ROOT (Seattle)PITCHING MATCHUP: Rangers RH Nick Martinez (1-3, 4.63 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Hisashi Iwakuma (4-3, 2.79)Martinez yielded eight runs and six hits in two innings of a 17-7 loss to Cleveland on Monday to fall to 1-2 with a 5.91 ERA and an unsightly 1.83 WHIP in seven starts. Left-handed batters are hitting .337 against the 23-year-old Florida native after the Indians trotted out an all-lefty lineup, and it appears the Mariners are capable of stacking their lineup with eight left-handers if they choose. Martinez has recorded 23 walks and 22 strikeouts while yielding 57 hits in 46 2/3 innings.Iwakuma allowed three runs and seven hits while walking an uncharacteristic two in 7 1/3 innings of a 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday in his second straight quality start. The 33-year-old Tokyo native sports a stingy 0.97 WHIP as he has allowed 50 hits and six walks in 58 innings. Iwakuma is 4-3 with a 3.63 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and .247 batting average against in 10 games (nine starts) versus Texas while struggling against Adrian Beltre (10-for-25, three homers, five RBIs).WALK-OFFS1. Seattle 2B Robinson Cano leads the American League in hitting at .330 with Detroit's Victor Martinez (.329) and Texas' Alex Rios (.326) right behind.2. Mariners C Jesus Montero, who was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, went 1-for-3 as the designated hitter Saturday in his first major-league game since he was suspended 50 games for his connection to the Biogenesis performance-enhancing drug scandal last season.3. Seattle has played the most one- or two-run games in the American League and is 18-20 in such contests.PREDICTION: Mariners 3, Rangers 2
Preview: Rangers at Mariners

Chester v Barnet - Preview
Updated 4:24pm Friday 17th January 2014 in Sport
Barnet are likely to be without Graham Stack for tomorrow's trip to Chester but Keanu Marsh-Brown should return to the squad.
The Bees haven't been in action since the 1-0 victory against Alfreton Town on January 4 but the visit to the Blues has come too soon for Stack who is recovering from the calf injury he sustained against Luton Town on New Year's Day.
Marsh-Brown missed the victory against Alfreton with a knee injury but is in contention for a place in tomorrow's side.
There will be at least one change to the Barnet side as Dani Lopez's loan spell with Barnet ended last weekend.
Chester are currently without a manager after Neil Young left the club earlier this month but Blues chairman Tony Durkin hopes to have a new boss appointed prior to tomorrow's match.
When the two sides met on the opening day of the season, the Bees ran out 3-0 winners thanks to a goal from Luke Gambin and a brace from Jake Hyde.

Handsome amber color in the pint shaker. Thin body but perky flavor. Pleasantly carbonated on the tongue.
Hops up front, but then they fade, only to resurge in the aftertaste. It's recirculating hops. Pleasant flowery hop flavors to start. Sharp and bitter on the light mouthfeel. If this was 4% ABV I'd be more charitable. It gets to be quite thin, bitter, and sharp, which is OK for a big, thirsty gulp, but not so pleasant for sipping after a pizza.
Drank this on tap at the Ocean Beach location on Election night, 2012.

This beer was my first at Pizza Port in Ocean Beach. I love this place. I'll review it a little later. Right now for 125. It pours a clear golden color with white head that is constantly fed by carbonation bubbles migrating from the bottom. Light lemony citrus bouquet. Mouthfeel is cottony and full. Mild flavors of citrus and pine. Quintessential pale ale.

4.28/5 rDev +15.1%
On tap at Port Carlsbad – 05/03/12
A: Pours a burnished almost brass-like golden color with some real nice clarity. Has a light yellowish glow around the edges. Real effervescent. Forms about a fingers worth of pure white foamy head that leaves some running tracks of lace down the glass.
S: Smell is a super fruit blast full of bright apricot notes with predominant candied citrus fruits. I get lots of tangerine peel and a finishing grassy leaf note. Really nice fruity and floral aroma.
T: Taste is just loaded with citrusy hops that leads with copious grapefruit and orange flavs. Citrus gives way to a kick of that signature PizzaPort hemp plant note. Nicely layered upon an almost biscuity pale malt base that brings a soft grainy sweetness to the brew. Good amount of astringent bitterness. Very sessionable at just 5%ABV and just oh so hoppy.
M: Real light in body with a somewhat creamy mouthfeel and a super dry crisp finish. Upper level of carb. Lingering sticky hop oils coat the mouth.
D: Another great brew from Yiga out of OB! Such a nice hoppy sessionable pale. Nice citrus notes with a big bitterness factor and the pale malts retaining balance. I could crush this one all day long.
Right up there with Alpine's Hoppy Birthday.

Cask at Real Ale. Brewed by Pizza Port Ocean Beach for the 125th anniversary of Ocean Beach.
A: Slightly transparent yellow orange with an enormous white head.
S: Bright orange, tangerine, and grapefruit notes. Great fruit profile. Light malt with a touch of sweetness. Floral aromatics. Pungent.
T: A burst of citrus flesh. Dominant orange and grapefruit with an upper low bitterness. Big hop flavor without astringency or harshness. Faintly sweet crackery malt.
M: Lower medium body with lower moderate carbonation. Silky and sticky mouthfeel.
Overall: A really nice Pale Ale. Really bright and hoppy.

i added a new page to the top of the blog to go along with my story and my race schedule and reports…
it's all my favorite posts put into categories!
so definitely go check it out. i haven't been through this entire blog yet, but i will keep sorting and adding to it as i have time.
the winner of the pleated poppy shop credit is….
email me at runnersrambles [at] gmail.com and i will send your info over!
don't forget if you didn't win and there is something you want, you can get 10% off using the code RUN, so go shopping!
i ran home from work last night. i just didn't feel like doing an out and back, so i decided giving myself a purpose to my run would make it better. it did work, but it was WARM out still. not as warm as earlier in the week, but still in the 80's and i have grown accustomed to running in the cooler mornings. the sun was on me, i was a sweaty mess and my legs felt pretty heavy…. BUT my pace did not reflect any of this, i was shocked!
8.0 miles/1:08:07/8:30 avg pace
since i ran home from work, i had to run back to work friday morning. this was another trick i was using to get myself up and out of there and it worked. i packed my stuff thursday morning so i would have everything in my car at work and i could get ready there (we have showers, etc). when my alarm went off this morning i didn't want to get up, but i knew i didn't have a choice. chris also said he wouldn't drive me there
this was my first "marathon tempo" run. i will be doing a lot of these runs with this program to practice race pace or close to. this pace is defined as your goal marathon pace +/- 10 seconds. the plan calls for minute chunks of it (2 x 15 minutes), but i decided that it was close enough to miles, that i would just do round miles to make it easier for me (2 x 2 miles with 5 minute rest).
i am not 100% sure what my "goal marathon pace" is yet. i know i want to PR, i would LOVE to run close to a 3:30, but i am not sure if i am there yet and i want to train within my abilities, not beyond them. i do like to push myself, but i know that pushing too hard can defeat the purpose. for now, i am going to shoot for low 8′s (~8:10 = sub 3:35) which i still think is challenging, and i will be testing myself with a couple of tune up races further into this training cycle to see where i am at. since the mcmillan calculator is so reliable for me, i will be using it to help me pick an exact goal and pacing plan when its closer to race day. hopefully i will be getting faster after a couple months of training
i warmed up for 3 miles to the trail, hopped on, cranked up my music and got into the zone. it took a bit to find the exact pace i wanted to be at, i was going way too fast at first, but i eventually found it and settled into the zone. it felt really comfortable and i was happy! the last mile i was running straight into a really strong headwind (the heat left but the wind is back in full force) and i felt like i was running backwards. i still was able to pull off a good split and finish up my MT miles strong. i added a bit on to even out the miles with a cooldown and ran to work, got ready with time to spare! the only thing i forgot was my eyeliner, which is definitely something i can live without. overall the run home and back to work was a success… i do have a feeling i will be very hungry today.
warm up: 3 miles @ 9:01 avg
MT miles:
1 – 8:07
2 – 8:03
(5 min rest .58 miles @ 8:40)
3 – 8:01
4 – 8:08
(avg MT 8:05)
cool down: 1.42 miles @ 8:30 avg
total run: 9.0 miles/1:16:28/8:29 avg pace
i am feeling better about this week now!
happy friday!

Sheriff Tim Whitcomb held a news conference this morning saying the case is still active, and they have gotten more than 400 leads, but they are hoping people will come forward with information that would help them determine how Douglass died.
Although her body was found four years ago, Douglass was not identified until last February because the remains were so badly decomposed.
Douglass was last seen in Salamanca in January of 2007
