Nice nine miler today.  The last mile was a little faster @ 6:36, nothing to get excited about.  Tomorrow I'll most likely do a little speed work. 

I felt relaxed on my run and it felt easy for the most part.  My goal is to run six days this week, nine miles a day. 

Tomorrow I have a physical fitness test with my scout group.  We have to run 1/4 mile as part of it.  I think I'll offer $10 to anyone that can beat me.  I hope I don't end up handing out $10, I'm not much of a sprinter. 

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. 

9 easy, early miles today.  Took the wife out to eat for Valentines. 

Took the 4Runner back to the shop today for the second time after getting it back from the body shop.  It's scheduled for another touch up next week.  I wonder if those clowns are every going to get it right? 

An O.K. run, considering I ate like a pig yesterday and consumed carbonated drinks like no tomorrow.  I figured it was Valintines day, so I let me hair down. 

I ran well enough today to throw in a little tempo.  My sock was all bloody when I got done, because of a long toe-nail that was digging into another toe.  I hate when that happens. 

There are a lot was bald-eagles and golden-eagles out here lately.  You can't beat the scenary or wild life out here.  I could definately do without the hills. 

9 miles at a pretty good pace. 

Good little run this morning.  Going out was a challenge, uphill and windy.  Coming back I pushed the pace a little and was able to get in 4.5 miles of  tempo. 

I met my goal this week of running everyday at least nine miles!!
