4th Annual Dodge Q125 5K: Back in the Saddle Again?
July 2, 2011 – I’m saying this right now, the Lincoln Marathon broke me! Going back to my last post almost 2 months ago, I think I made it sound like a good day. It wasn’t.

It was setting up as one of the best race days of the year. A very cool start, cloud cover for most of the race and a light breeze blowing out for most of the course.

It felt kind of strange to not show that day, but none the less, I missed it.

Hands down hard! I thought it was going to be a hilly run, but nothing could get you ready for this. Nice course selection Ivan. You killed us! The day started out with a goal of doing 12 to 13 training miles that were on the schedule. Last week’s 19 were but a distant memory and next week’s 22 are looming, but for this week, a step-back week (marathon training term), there was just a half
