15 miles this morning in a different order than normal. I met up with the Circle of Trust at the Swiss days 5k so Logan could run it. There we did a couple warm up miles with Logan and then the race started and Dave and I did a couple more.... we ended up missing the finish. The we all headed out again until I had to turn around because of time. I had to get our car back to Mik'L so she could go to a meeting. So total with Circle of Trust was 7.85 miles. I ran a couple miles under 6 min pace on the way back to the car and then drove across town (20 min's) and talked to Mik'L at the house for a few and then went back out to finish up for the day. That was the hard part- Going back out and trying to get into the progression tempo mode again. The first mile back into it was around 7:15 pace and my hammy was really tight now. I kept trying to increase the pace until the last mile was around 5:45 and then a half mile cool down. 

Kind of a fun morning over at the race. It was nice seeing everyone and got the nerves going for next Saturday. Hopefully I can stretch this hammy out over the week and be ready to go. I can't believe we're already here...

Relax and hold the reins in for the next week Papa Bear. It will be a great race for you.

Do you and Dave want to meet tomorrow afternoon and do one last run together? Let me know. I am good for anything after 5:30pm.
