Awesome day for a 10K. Sunny, cool morning (eventually up to mid-90s). Registered and picked up the packet the day before the race. Arrived at the race site 45 minutes before the start. Headed to the portalet immediately. Two-mile warm up and a couple of striders trying to lock in race pace. Started in the third row. First two miles were solid, split 13:01. Stayed relaxed with a couple of others for the next two miles around 6:37 and 6:34. Started to tie up around 4.5 miles, but pushed the pace and dropped one of our mini-group. Finished strong with 6:38 and 6:30. Garmin said 6.31, so I could have run better tangents, but I'm really excited for the race. Projects out to a possible sub 3:15 marathon, which is the goal for September 26.

Started out slowly to loosen up from the race on Sunday. Finished strong with miles at eight or under. Average pace overall was 8:14 on a very hot, but very low humidity day. Legs a bit beat up afterwards though.

Recovery double with six in the AM and four in the PM all around nine-minute miles. Right knee a bit sore, but legs loosened up after fairly hard long run and race.

5 x 1200 intervals on the track at 5K pace. Very hot day with temps in mid 90s. Two mile warm up on treadmill, then out on track at 5:30 pm. Intervals were 4:44, 4:45, 4:45, 4:47 and the last interval ended up being 2 x 600 at 2:20 each due to ducking behind a tree.

Treadmill was pretty tedious, averaged around 8:13. Legs a bit cramped due to totally flat, same pace. Got er done.

Supposed to be general aerobic run. Two x four mile loop around Pomeroy, Park and Strong Streets, averaging around 8:00. Felt much better to get back outside.
