Pirates FUN run/CMU encounter/What Duquesne freshmen are training at this summer

June 27, 2009 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Eventful day to say the least.

Ran the Pirate Fun Run. Won in 17:30ish. Really easy race, two 1.5 mile laps, all flat. Jogged first one (probably around 19:00 pace or so) tempo for the second one, much faster (probably low 16:00 pace) plus I had to weave in between walkers.

Saw some CMU guys (including Matt Jacob) running around the PNC Park area towards the end of my race. Yelled "MATT JACOB" and I got a funny look...probably the same one they'll give us when we beat them at conference this year.

One last thing. Talked to Jon McElwain and Jim Spisak, a 9:28 2 miler and a 4:15 miler respectively. Both just graduated HS and got recruited by Duquesne (who is turning itself into a very good D1 distance program). McElwain says he is peaking at 60 miles this summer. Spisak is about the same. So freshmen, if you're reading this, I don't care what Asher Roth says, don't do anything crazy, keep the mileage low.
