\"\" As 2007 quickly comes to a close here’s a look at some of the Best of 2007.<\/p>\n

Here are 3 of my best race performances in 2007. What was your best race this year?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Buzzards Roost 10K<\/a> I ran 42:22 which left me very confident for later races and was only 54 seconds off my 10K PR. This was a 6:49 pace.<\/li>\n
  2. Ovarian 4Mi Run<\/a> I ran a 25:43 which I was very excited about. This was a 6:25 pace.<\/li>\n
  3. DINO Series – Fort Harrison 15K<\/a> I ran a 1:07:32 with an all out sprint finish I was very pleased with this 5 minute PR and a tough course. This was a 7:14 pace.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After the Buzzards Roost race I felt confident that I would run some excellent 10K’s later in the year and this was a fairly tough course, so I was very pleased with my race.<\/p>\n

    The Ovarian 4 Mile run was definitely my fastest performance of the year, I ran a solid race throughout the 4 miles and felt like everything came together perfectly.<\/p>\n

    The DINO races are all tough and I was super-excited to have ran a 5 minute PR on a mostly hilly course. I was still reaping the benefits of my taper and feel that overall it was a good performance.<\/p>\n

    Honorable Mention<\/strong> would be the Mid-South Half-Marathon<\/a>, which I ran a little slower than I wanted but felt that overall it was a good race.<\/p>\n

    Weekend Workout Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Friday<\/em> – I was at the gym riding one of the bicycles, I put in one hour of easy riding and rode about 16.5 miles. My gym has several styles of bikes, one has the big fan wheel, another is a “real” machine bike with a seat and a back rest – more of a recumbent bike, and the last is a machine with a normal style seat. I think either of the two machines provide a good workout but I personally prefer the normal style because it is more realistic.<\/p>\n

    Sunday <\/em>– I ran for the first time since Thanksgiving. We had gotten several inches of snow and a layer of ice. I decided to go ahead and run a loop at Mounds State Park with Brian. It was a pretty tough workout, some of the trails hadn’t been touched and it was beautiful, if not disorienting. We also saw a nice fat deer and lots of deer tracks. It was a good run, but very tough and we both could feel the extra work required due to the snow. My foot felt fine and still feels good so far!<\/p>\n
