A good 12 mile run this morning. 

Warm up followed by a 6 mile tempo.  Very happy with the results.  Pushing a hill the first couple, finished with an average time  of 5:55 per mile.

The last three I really wanted to get my pace under a 6 minute time, so I ran a 5:53, 5:58 and a 5:14.

The last mile a truck pulled along side of me and said, " Is someone in trouble" no I responded, "then why are you running so fast". 

"How old are you, and do you have a girlfriend"?  I responded by saying I am 33 and am married.  The girl in the passengers side said, "but do you have a girlfriend". 

I couldn't remember Bill's phone number to save my life.  Sorry Bill, she looked like she was looking for love.

As they left he said "Dude your hauling A_ _ !!,"  "Keep it up".

It's little experience like that, that make one feel better about their performance.  I believe I've got my speed back and confidence.  I'm getting exited for Logan.

Vomero 270 miles.
