9.5 total miles today. Started out with a warm up and then did a few miles @ speed.

Mile 1 @ 5:52

Mile 2 @ 5:37

Mile 3 @ 5:26

The speed seems to be coming back, I think I'll be where I want to be soon.

At scouts tonight, we had a physical fitness test the boys had to do as part of their Tenderfoot requirement. I offered them $10 if anyone of them could beat me on the push ups or 1/4 mile run. I'm happy to say I didn't have to pay out.

I took my daughter's dog to show-and-tell today, the same dog that runs with me everyday. It took forever cleaning all the burrs and stickers out of his coat that he picks up from running.

Glad to see the speed is coming back for you and that you didn't have to pay out $10. I work with the scouts here in La Verkin and they are always up to something.

How fast did you run the quarter, and how fast was the fastest scout?

Were the miles consecutive, or repetitions with rest. Were they on the track, or on the road? If on the road, what kind of terrain?

I only ran the quarter fast enough to beat the fastest scout, which ran it in 2:00. I ran it in 1:55. Their only 11 years old, but I still was expecting them to be a little faster.

No, the miles were not consecutive. I do an easy mile and then a speed mile, easy mile, speed mile and so on. I'm so far away from any track, that I always have to run on the road. The road is ashalt of course and the portion I do my speed on is mostly flat. There's a spot with a little decline, but then a good incline. I'm guessing it all works out.

I sometimes wish I had other roads to train on, but the scenary is the best. There are a lot of trails, but they are all sand. I've tried running in the sand in the past, but it hard to judge how fast I "would be going", if I'd ran on the hard packed road.
