Happy 4th! To celebrate this Wednesday off I ran a road race with friends. Actually I ran one as a friend. My friend hurt her back recently and couldn't run the race she signed up for so I put her bib on and ran the 4 mile race. I wasn't setting any land speed records, the entire race was hills either up or down the whole time. But I finished and didn't walk so I'm happy. 41:58 which puts me at a slow 10:30 pace. This put me 51st/70 in my friends age group and would have put me 31st out of 47 in mine.
Unfortunately I've noticed this trend in both soccer and running. I've been pulling out longer weekend runs to prep for my half and it seems to have slowed me down. After the half I think I'm going to focus on improving my 5K and 10K times and not worry about distance. See if I can't break the 27 minute mark. That would be pretty cool. And also help my soccer skills.
The running year in summary:
January: 40.21
February: 39.19
March: 38.26
April: 28.76
May: 42.22
June: 34.65

Total = 227.29 miles
