Terrible night's sleep. I got to bed around 11 and woke up around 3:30. I decided to run tonight instead. Got home from work (stressfull day!!) at about 8:30 pm and decided I needed to run anyway. Did 4 miles in 33:44. It felt comfortable mostly but I still found myself breathing heavily at times.I want to get to where my easy runs are 8:15 to 8:20 so that my aerobic work is closer to marathon pace (if that's reasonable...). Felt good no matter what. There was a beautiful sky tonight that kind of put the whole day in proper persepective. I felt like the sky and moon and stars were so far above my problems I could kind of escape with them even if just for a few minutes. It was a great way to end the day.

Ran with Jan & Jen at Chestnut park. Did about a mile warm up and then faster than we agreed... of course Jan blamed me and I blamed her but in the end it was a great run. The temp was a very comfortable 85. I guess the humidity was down. My heartrate was at 150 mid run and 162 at the end. I felt much better tonight than two weeks ago when I first ran the Tuesday night run with the ladies.

 I feel like my running more days and gradually building base is paying off. I've still got a long way to go but this is a good start.

Ran easy this morning. It was actually cool and nice. I wanted to go slow to recover and just get a run in. Good way to start the morning.

Ran Long Leaf this morning with about 25 Striders. Great turnout. It was humid and smokey. I believe they are doing controlled burns in the preserve.

Keith, Diane and I ran together. First mile was close to 8 min pace. 2nd was under 7:45. We turned around and tried to run Keith down. It was not for me to catch him although we did some sub 7 min paces. It got hot in a hurry and once againg I just went out too fast.

Ran Starkey with Keith, Derek, Victoria, and Keisha. Left parking lot at 6:05 am. Solid run, focused on trying to stay slow (8:20-8:35). Didn't do such a great job as we kept dipping down toward 8:00. Finished strong.
