Age is just a number.

AM-Easy 5 miles at 7-8/min pace. 37:36.  No time for more, off to church with the wife and fam.

PM-Easy 5 miles. 7th east out and back.  7-7:30/mile pace.  Toasty.. A little fatigued but still feeling pretty good after a 110 mile week.  

AM-Easy 10 miles at 6:30-7/min pace with some stride outs at the end.  Last mile in 5:26.  Short hills tomorrow to open up stride mechanics.  7th and 13th out and back. 

Going out to look for a job as I'm not working much at all lately. Sucks.. My miles are really piling up which is a good thing in a way however, it doesn't feel much harder than when I was running 50-60 mpw working graveyards and going to school.  Now I really understand when Bill Rodgers stated back in the 70s ;  " Anyone with a full time job is not going to beat me."   So true..  Often the race is not decided not just by the one with most talent, desire, or amount of work but by the one who had the most optimum environment to recover and thrive in.  I truly believe that for the most part.  

I'm not jealous right? 

PM-Easy 6 miles at 7-8/min pace.  7th east out and back. 

AM-Easy 6 miles at 6:40-7/min pace.  Kept the brakes on through most of the run and just ran easy and smooth while concentrating on form.   I want to keep the miles up but I think it would be smarter idea to cut back now.  Just a little maybe? :)..

PM-Easy 4 miles at 8/min pace.   Late evening, relaxing..

AM-Easy to medium 10 miles early this morning,  Wow what a difference a few hours makes for temps of course.  Easy 5 miles at 6:30-7:10/mile pace with 4 miles at 5:28-5:52/mile coming home.  Took a mile cool down out to the trax crossing and then stretched for a good while.

PM-No evening run.  Cutting back a some more now.

AM-Easy 8 miles this morning. Most at 7-7:30/mile with most around 7:20 or so. One 5:43/mile thrown in the middle.  7th east out and back.

PM-Easy-medium 6 miles.  Tot time 40:05 with the last mile around 5:20-30ish.  Felt stinkin great even with the heat. 

AM-Easy 6 miles at 7/min pace.  7th east out and back.

PM-No run this evening.  I was working on my new radio project instead, an old pre war 1941 Philco tabletop with AM broadcast and what was then a police band.  It's not looking good as so much of the original wiring is a certain type of rubber coated wire which crumbles whenever it's moved.  So it's all going to have to be re-wired in addition to being re-capped and such. Not to mention so many out of tolerance resistors that will have to be replaced also.  At least it will keep me busy for a while..  

And my mind off the race next week!

Just an easy 5 mile jog today.   Trax loop.
