Sat Sept 7: AM. Ran the Apple Dumpling Half Marathon (Hustler to Elroy, WI). Beautiful course on a trail through the woods with an 875-foot tunnel, illuminated with gas lanterns, about five miles in. It was a similar story to last week’s race- I was with another guy for the first couple miles before he picked up the pace and I just tried to keep him in my sight the rest of the way. Finished 2nd in 1:15:34 (winner was about a minute ahead). It was kind of nice to have a rabbit to chase after, but wish I would’ve had it in me to catch him. Still a good effort. Weather was ideal—Sonny, in the low 40s and a slight tail wind.
