Somewhere after 2 miles the Polish Nike Internationalist Dames guy surged to the front for a bit. Then I made a little surge that dropped the pack down to just me and Adam. Me and Adam ran side by side until a 100-150m left and I surged again to take the win. Our mile from mile 2 to 3 was 4:43 and that was into a nice stiff headwind. My final time was 16:07 or so for the whatever distance course it was. We figured it was about 1:20 long or so. Anyways It was a good race. Good that the other guys showed up because it reminded me how to run with a group again. That’s about it for now. Workouts are going good. I’m pretty freakin tired Adidas Eqt Support Adv Femme after this week with a couple workouts, a race, and lots of mileage.Started out good enough. Felt pretty strong. Started off fairly well. First mile was around 4:40. Then I slowly moved up into the 2nd tier pack. I tried to just keep picking people off as I didn’t know Adidas Superstar Damen Gold what kind of shape I was in. At around 2miles I caught up with Chris Barnicle from Arkansas and we started working together moving up throughout the race. It really helped having someone else there to work off of and keep you going. I hit 3miles at right around 14:22, which was about 6 seconds faster than last year so I was pleased with that. Through mile 4 we made it up to a couple of the other Arkansas runners (Perkins, Hill, Cormier, I think). The 4mile split was 19:11 I believe, still several seconds up on last year so I knew I was on at least sub 30 pace. After mile Adidas Superstar Womens Pink four I started feeling it a little but hung on to the pack I was running with. At mile 5, I started feeling what I thought was a side stitch on my right side. I didn’t think much of it at first and tried to start moving for the last mile. At around 5.5miles into the Nike Air Max 90 Mujer 2015 race, I got a pretty sudden and sharp pain in my right lower back and then the muscles started to tighten up there. Within another 50m the pain intensified and the muscles started to spasm. I had to slow to a jog, then to a walk, and then finally to the ground. Whatever it was, it hurt like hell. I layed there for what felt like a loooong time but was probably only a minute or two. At that point, I got up and tried to jog, but it hurt like hell to push off and even more so land on that right side. So I had to toss in the towel and DNF it.
