Easy run with Sasha in AM. Average for 10 miles was 7:07. We picked it up last mile and dropped the last 1/2 at about 2:53. Legs felt ok today some mild fatigue in the quads but not bad. It feels like my center of gravity has shifted forward the last couple of runs which I think is a good thing. I feel like I am getting better leg extension as well. Hope it continues.

On another note James (my 12 year old son) wanted to run 8x400 today on the track. He did this on his own and recorded the splits. When I came home he had them written down to show me. He had about 2 minutes rest between them.  His splits were:

78, 81, 85, 90, 91, 89, 92, 80

A little inconsistent but not bad since he has never done a workout like this. The 78 and 80 are actually his two fastest 400m times that I can think of for him.

I ran the first half the way you advised me to. Worked out pretty well overall I must say. I'll elaborate on this the next time I see you.

By the way I'm glad to see you running better. Do you think you will race on Saturday?

Yes, I plan on running the 30K on Saturday. It will be good for me to get a good long run in and see how things go.

Good luck on your run on Saturday.

I believe I may have seen you on Thursday at the ROTC commissioning. I'm Lt. Garner's brother-in-law. We knew each other back at Ft. Benning a few years back, when our parents were both stationed there.

Go Army! HOOAH!
