Intermittent drizzle at 7PM for another Lake to Lake Special. Wore my quilted Adidas warmup, which has a good hood, but it was giving me some annoying wind resistance, plus bad acoustics, so eventually I just chucked it -- well, tied it around the waist. In the end I don't think I got much wetter than I usually sweat.

Feeling pretty good, and decided to let it all hang out on the Ravenna hill, which started halfway through mile 5. Clocked around 5:10 pace for that 800m, ending a couple of blocks after the bottom. Fun. So that's what it feels like sustaining that kind of speed. Then a couple 7:30 uphill miles, then I got the itch again and managed a mile at 6:30 between the university and Gasworks. Eased up for the last stretch home, and this morning everything seems to be in fine working order.

7:31 average for the run. Mizuno.

Great job on the work out. What is your time you are thinking about running in Moab? I'm thinking we are going to be right around the same, I'm hoping to be in under 1:30 shape but we will see. So maybe I can pace you.

Hey, those are some nice miles you're peeling off right now on daily runs. I remember talking about this last summer, how you'd eventually get to where the quick paces could be worked into the routine. Nice. I might be in Seattle Sunday morning, I'd like to get together sometime for a run. If not this week, next weekend for sure.

Josse, that's very kind of you. I certainly didn't pace very well for the marathon in November, so I can use some direction, that's for sure. As for the goal time, I'd be thrilled with a sub-1:30, though 1:31 (7min/mi) or thereabouts may be more realistic. But we'll see where I am end of February.

David, Sunday sounds great. Let me know.

I say we start out fast because it is a downhill start and do the 7 mins pace till half way and then try to go sub-sevens, but most likely that will be where I am at to. We will talk the closer it gets.

Sounds great. The altitude thing is going to be a challenge, but all the more reason to start out fast on the downhill!
