         The run down the dam was pretty good, the best so far, though my records appear to indicate that I ran faster—1:43.14—on the 5th of May.  I believe now that on that day, I must have gotten the ending point incorrect. 
There is no way at that time I should have run more than 3 seconds faster than I did today. I was feeling good and running well.
          When I got to the classic sprint, I was using some brain energy worrying about the pain in my legs; and I was not consciously thinking about running on my toes and lifting my knees. Hopefully, these two points of exercise are, or will be, ingrained in my brain soon, so that I don’t have to think about it for it to happen. What I am saying is that the distractions probably were the cause of my poor performance on the classic sprint.  Of course, this ‘poor’ performance is all relative. If I had run such a time two months ago, I would have been jumping for joy.
