A good run this morning. I always dread the speed days. Warmed up with 3 miles and then did 1 mile repeats with a slow mile in between.

Mile 1 @ 5:48

Mile 2 @ 5:33

Mile 3 @ 5:30

Mile 4 @ 5:30

Decided to do a two mile tempo with the first being fairly slow to see if I could finish with a new fast mile for the year.

Mile 5 @ 6:28

Mile 6 @ 5:03

Knocked 14 seconds off my fastest mile for the year. A pretty good workout.

15 easy miles this morning. No pain from yesterdays speed I 'm glad to say.

about 12 miles into the run I was daydreaming and looked down to see a rattle snake just a bit bigger then a pencil. In mid stride I was just able to miss the little guy.

I hear the baby rattle snakes are worse then the adult ones. I was nervus the rest of my run and kept thinking every tig on the road was a snake. I just glad to be alive to run other run.

Good workout today. 10 miles of tempo from the first step. Pushed a really big hill for the first 1 1/2 miles. The first mile is always the toughest for me for some reason, but I pushed the cursed hill anyway.

5 mile cool down.

Some good tempo, glad with the results.

20 miles. Monster week!! A new record for miles in one week for myself!! 90 miles!! Very happy. Didn't know if I was actually going to get there. Felt great today. Felt like I could have ran another 20 at the end of the run.

I'll start my tapper for logan next week. Three weeks of excitement and "Am I running enough, does the ramping down stuff really work".

Went swimming today with the family caught three catfish.
