Didn't know what I was going to get today. Mid-taper, sore hips from Thursday's track work (which I somehow logged on Wednesday), hilly course. But the weather was ideal, cool and overcast, and I had a good running partner in Lia who was dogging it after running Chicago on Sunday. She beat me by a few seconds but we stayed close and she helped me stay motivated on those darn uphills. The hip soreness worked out a little and I was able to maintain better pace. I think I actually negative split; of course two big downhills in the second half helped. Sixth in calendar AG, 2nd in Grand Prix AG, so some nice points. I would have liked to break 50, but overall I'm happy with the run. Now what I do in Frankfurt in eight days is another issue.
