12 easy miles in the cool weather this morning.  Legs felt pretty good.  Just about stepped on a big, big spider!!  It reared up and actually struck at me a few times, pretty cool stuff!!

12 miles today.  4 mile of speed repeats.  First mile 5:42, Mile two 5:39, Mile three 5:36 mile 4 @ 5:33.  I hate speed work days, but I know they're good for me.  I do see a lot of improvement in my overall speed from them, so I'll keep doing them, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Another 12 miles this morning, no big deal.  Another big spider was spotted on my run.  I felt fast today.  I know it wasn't a tempo day, but it was all I could do to tell my legs to slow down.

12 miles this morning.  5 mile tempo run at 6:18 average.

Felt good.  Excited to start getting faster.  Can't wait to start bumbing up the speed.  Don't want to do it too fast.

12 easy miles this morning.  I actually ran with my wife today.  She's training for the Bryce Canyon 1/2.  We started at 5 am and really had a good run and conversation together.
