| Noon - had today off from work (first time I can recall having today as a work holiday - its kinda nice). Took yesterday off-- not so much planned, but felt like I needed it. Really nice weather in the upper 60's - easy 10. Last 3 more moderate than easy. I think in pacing my friend Brian in his 100 mile ultra on Saturday, my sense of an easy pace became too slow. I turned on my Garmin and decided I needed to get into a more respectable easy pace. Is it possible to have too easy of an easy pace?
Anyway, as an update, Brian did indeed complete his first 100 race. I left him at 40 miles after pacing him for about 23 miles, and thought he was going to easily complete the event, but apparently he ran into some difficulties late in the race when the temperatures dropped below freezing. Evidently several of the participants had trouble with it as well. At 22 hours he had completed 85 miles, but he ended up finishing in just over 30 hours - (the last 15 miles was his nemeisis) which was beyond the 28 hour official cut-off, but good for him that he pushed through in this race after having several missed prior attempts. The race director was kind enough to leave the finish line banner up for several hours after the race so he has a photo of his finish. His son in law Nick completed his first 100k in a little over 16 hours.

| PM - on the treadmill after work in ATL - (weather was really windy and temps dropping quickly) had a good workout today. 6 x 1 at HM pace with a 200 rest. 3 mile warm up and a little over a mile cool down. Pleased with the pacing and with how solid I felt during the workout. Really tired afterwards.

| AM - tempo workout. The gym connected with my hotel, I discovered this morning, has an indoor running track - not sure of the length - but large enough that it allowed for an easy warm up of approximately 3 miles going by time -- I then hopped on the treadmill and did about 4.5 miles of MP, then a cool down, partly on the treadmill and partly on the track.
