Ran with Mark. Eased into the run with a very slow 2 mile warm up. I was still sore and mainly tired from the weekend. Good run over all. Once we got our first full lap through the hills everything started to feel more awake and warmed up.

This was one of the fastest training runs I believe I've had since my 20's. I did not want to run today let alone do a tempo run. The air temp & humidity were perfect and I just felt great. I fell into a groove after the second mile and just cruised. I did a one mile warm up and 7 mile tempo with one mile cool down. I felt a little tired coming into the last two miles but toward the end of mile 7 I knew I could do at least two more miles at pace. I can't wait to do a half to see where I am.

Started at Longleaf with Jorge, Victoria, and Jamie. We met Keith after a 3 mile turn in the neighborhood. Nice day for a run but very dark as we had no moon light. Started just before 5 am. Only complaint is that Victoria an I ran too slow in the middle miles. Finished last two miles in 7:41 and 7:25. Though I couldn't have run the 20 at that pace today, it did feel much better than the 8:20's & 8:30's we ran earlier. Though I wanted and easy 20 today I feel like the slower pace acutally made it harder. I'll try to stay closer to 8:10 and under on my next 20.
