got up early to get some miles in with the intention of doing some more in the PM but never got back out... have to make a point of getting up early or I end up missing my runs altogether!

Ran washington feilds loop. started out faster than I wanted too then couldn't hold it back. Ended up doing about 6:30-6:40 pace until the last mile when I decided to slow myself down and relaxed at a 7:10 pace. I just felt so good today!

AM -5.55 Good slow run this morn. Felt a little slow after the long run at tempo pace yesterday. Try to do 4-5 more this afternoon to get the miles in but wanted to split it up to let myself recover.

PM 4.55 in the afternoon sun! Such nice weather out until you start to run! I guess I shouldn't complain as it is only going to get hotter!

Slow run today. Couldn't get going. But at least I got out. Tried to get out again in the afternoon with the club but wasn't able to make it.

Good long run today. Longest I've done since St. George Marathon. Feel pretty good after. didn't really get tired but the last mile I could start to feel my body telling me it was done.

I ran from my house down riverside then under the freew way at convention center and to my little bro David's house (new blogger, bundydavid.fastrunningblog.com) and did about 6 with him then ran home.

Kept a good 8 min pace pretty much the whole way. Picked it up to 7:00 at mile 19-20 just to see how I felt and felt pretty good. I am getting way excited for my next marathon to see how the whole 26.2 goes...
