Went to the Y with V.  Ran 2 miles on the donut in 13:25. Lifted legs for a little while.  I then ran a mile on the treadmill in 6:15.

Sat, 12/3/16-Bow Tie Invitational.
Davirah dropped me off at Ursinus at 12:40 and went shopping.  My race was scheduled for 1:50.  I met up with a couple of guys.  I began warming up at 1:00.  The race wound up going off at about 2:05, after the jets had been collapsed from three heats to two.
So we were at the line ready to go.  I was in lane 1.  There were about 15 in my heat.  And the gun went off.  I dashed towards the front of the heat, situating myself in sixth.  I was in a good position, but felt the runner in front of me slow a bit.   I hit 32-low at the 200.  I hit the 400 in 66/67.  By this time and now in 6th place, I knew I had to pass the guy in front of me.  At just beyond the 400m mark, I clipped his feet and then passed him on the inside.  I also started making my way toward the guy in third.  I felt comfortable.   I kept pace with him over the next 100m and closed the gap coming up the homestretch.  I caught him on the final homestretch.  I was pleased with how my race felt, even though I wish the time had been faster than 2:14.60, my slowest time as a masters runner.  The race was even and felt good, though.  Shaving at least two seconds off each lap is a goal for sure.
