1:59:13. Ran on my "flat" trails. It had been a few weeks since I had run here ... I missed it. It has rained so much the last couple of weeks that it was green today (little tiny "grass" on ground)-- but the trees are still bare and the cactus are nearly blooming yet. I did see my first lizard ... it is not going to be long until it gets hot and the snakes come back out. Today was spectacular, about 65F and sunny, still snow on the mountain tops. Very pretty. I read a very good article by Pete Magill in Running Times. It basically talked about how he coaches his athletes for 5Ks (he is 47 years old and just ran a 14:49 5K on the road). Very interesting - he does a lot of things similar to Greg, the main one, and what he focused on in the article, was training people to run by effort and not time. Based on this, when I ran my 20` hard today, I focused more on how hard I could run for 20 mins and less about how hard I was running. It was fun. I hope you have a wonderful day with your families today bloggers!
