Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
11.40	0.00	11.40

Drove to where the club was going to meet (400 N Davis Blvd) and ran 4 miles before they got there. For some unknown reason I thought it would be fun to run down to Orchard Dr then back up (major hill). The pace was slow but it was a good warm up. Started the club run with Trevor and he was in the mood to push the pace. We were running around 6:45 pace for the first 2.5 miles. I noticed that physically I felt great and didn't feel like I was pushing at all but mentally I had to fight the desire to slow down. Whatever funk that I am in is definitely mental. He turned around and I went another 1.2 miles before my turn around. I slowed down after he left but was still around 7:15 pace for the rest of the run. I actually felt really good during the run and the last mile was at 6:30 pace. Hopefully this is the start of my comeback.

Sounds like you had a great day. It's always nice when you can finish strong, especially when running that far.

I'D SAY, ANDY'S BACK!!!!

So that is how fast you were going when you passed me! I kept seeing you guys getting further and further away. When you figure out this mental thing let me know I think we all need help in that area.

I didn't come in last today in fact I was the first girl to finish just because Lora ran slow and Jamie when longer but I am taking the win anyway.

Thanks for the insight, upon reflection I think this is similar to my challenge in kicking up my training.

You've been ready for some fast running for quite awhile now. This mental thing is such a bugger. Perhaps a new goal, a race, a new challenge to spark it up? Spring's around the corner and I'd say you're BACK!
