6:20am start, temperature was about 60F but it was very humid. It rained allo night so the air was clear and the trail was a bit muddy but beautiful.

Did 3.12M at a 7:45 pace so it wasn't totally easy. A great way to start the day.

Plan for the week:

Monday: 3M

Tuesday: XT

Wednesday: 4-5M

Tuesday: 3M

Friday: Rest/XT

Saturday: 7M

Sunday: Rest

Cross training. Did some bike and weights.

8:30AM, 50F at start, sunny with light wind. I started on Duke West campus near the chappel and ran on campus drive all the way to the East campus (1.5M). I ran the loop around the East campus (1.6M) and then returned all the way back to the way back with adding a little bit extra at the end (1.65M). Total 4.75M at 35:24 (7:27 pace). The run was not easy, the effort was more like a tempo run but over all it felt good.

Note to self: Go to sleep earlier.

8:20AM sart 55F no wind and sunny. Duke West to East Campus, this time without the loop. Nice pace (7:23).

26:13

6:10AM start, 60F, light wind, sunrise. I planed doing 7M but I felt really good and extended it to 8.4M. I am trying to control my pace and not go too fast in these long runs. I checked my watch and I actually did negative splits. The route was really nice. The first 1/3 was just smi-urban stting. the middle section was on the Americal Tobacco Trail (ATT). If you ever come to this part of the country you should check it out. The last part was hart residential part trail (part of the trail around Duke Golf course - another great running trail).
