Very nice recovery run. Ran with Mark this morning and we both agreed it was a good day to take it easy. He ran a PR 18:55 at a local 5K this weekend while I ran a kindof whimpy 20 miler. We were both due a nice long warm up followed by a few quick strides at the end.

Good way to start the week.

Had a terrible night's sleep. Got up around 2:30 am and stayed up till 4:45 am. Could not get up to run. Decided that since this is a cut back week I'd just take the entire day off.

Easy warm up and easy pace most of run. Felt very comfortable. Noticed after mile 2 I was at a 7:50 pace but it felt more like 8:20. I just kept going and focused on form and relaxation. Average for the run was 7:46.

Ran the causeway tonight. Beautiful weather. Nice breeze coming off of the sound, just after sun set so the stars were coming out but there was still color in the Western sky. Easier run than yesterday but got in 4 or 5 miles at or below goal pace.

Great run in the hills with Keith, Jorge, and Victoria. Went to San Antonio. Same day as the Rattlesnake Run. Saw Lee Stevens and his wife, Krista "Benton" Stevens before and after the race. I think they got first place in both men and women's overall.

The views were spectacular. Temperature was perfect. We felt heat coming off of the groves and ice cold air at the bottom of "the bowl." It warmed up quickly after the sun came up so we finished at just the right time.
