My mentor and training partner phoned it in today because of a little rain (I bet his wife Jenny would never miss a run because of a little precipitation..). So I did the manly thing and went back to bed. It was a nice and needed additional 2 hours sleep.

So now I've got to make up the couch potato move that kept me comfy and cozy this morning so I sent a text to Katie to see if she and Renee were running tonight in Tampa. She said yes and we agreed on time and place to meet. My game plan was to do an easy 6-7 miles. Renee's plan was to run progressive miles from 8:00 down to where ever. Katie's plan was to run faster than me no matter who's plan we were on. After four miles in the 7:40's we stopped for a quick drink and decided to do one more fast mile before cool down. I asked what their goal pace was for the mile and, you're not going to believe this, they didn't have one! Yes, you guessed it, their plan was to just run fast. We started at 7:30 and ended in the 6:30's. Needless to say I have my self to blame for getting caught up in the feeding frenzy. I should have let Katie go and held my pace. Better luck next time.

Up at 4:15 am to meet Raj & Keith at the Trinity Y. We did a warm up and then a 6 mile tempo at 7:00/mile pace. Great weather for it. Clear sky and air. Felt just right.

Ran Chinsegut Nature Center Trail 5K with Caleb, Joshua, Keith, Brett, and another friend named Paul. It was up in Brookesville in the middle of the woods. A fun run. I'll definately race it  next year.

Temp was in the high 30's to low 40's. 

Keith & Bret & Paul won these really nice hand spun mugs with a frog on them. It was fashioned after the frogs in the preserve there.
