AM - For the third time writing as the blog ate my last two reports when I hit submit. I ran the usual Friday Sasha Uneventful Half Marathon (UHM). However we had many visitors join us as well. Adam ran with is for awhile and we also had two of the faster women, Michelle and Jamie, join us so they could get a good tempo in. We gradually picked things up as usual as we went but it all felt very easy today even when we finished in 6:20. I was very impressed with Michelle and Jamie today. Both of them have an OTQ time in their future. With the right training and persistence they can hit the womens OTQ in the not so distant future. We ran the UHM in 1:30:52 or 6:55 pace average with the last 10 miles in 1:08 and the last 5 miles in about 33:30 or so. Sasha and I did 8x100 strides at 17-18 secs in the middle as usual as well.

PM - Heading out for a Boy Scout camp later today but will squeeze in some more miles before I go with James. 5.05 miles with James and 8x100 in 18 secs each with a 100 jog in 27 secs per 100 jog.

It was so great to run with you Ted. I hope I can do it again. You are inspiring!

Sounds like you have quite a good group of runners down there right now.

I always cut and paste my entries from word. Two bonuses. If the entry gets lost in cyberspace you are still saved from retyping and two "hopefully" no spelling mistakes... Great mileage. What is your next "big" race?

Thanks again. I hope to get up there and run again sometime with you guys soon.

Thanks for the welcome! I agree that my shorter distance times show a faster marathon PR, but I just haven't had it come together on a marathon yet (only run two). Trials is the goal though.

Hopefully we can get there together.

Ted, I really enjoyed the run...perhaps next time I'll be able to hang in there for the last few miles.
