Pushing the pace ever so slightly. Warmup 10's to the track, then five mi of 8:45 or so then another 10 home with a 5-min walk down to the beach. Teh first mile (8:30) HR was around 143, inched up a bit thereafter but not too much (last mile was 148).

Test drove "How High the Moon" and "Lullaby of Birdland," which weren't bad. Then started fooling around with my own cadence and came up with (E minorish):

0---0-----0-0---|0-0-0--0O-------|0---0-----0-0---|0-0-O000O-------|

1 2 3 2 1 1 7 15(down) 1 2 3 2 1 1 54321

Did the job.

Highest mileage week so far, if you count the gym workouts. One more week of alternating days then let's start running back to back. Tempos on the elliptical, though, until the inflammation is in the rearview mirror.

Good job on the mileage! I think running music selection is of supreme importance, too. By the way, you get the award for having the coolest, most inspiring day job. I must know the secret of the mango, too! Where can one find a Wolof sorcerer?
