Early foggy morning track workout.  Mile and a half warm up, then 4x400 with the straights at race pace and float/recovery on the curves.  Full lap jog/walk between.  Little tougher than I hoped to get under 15 seconds on the 100 meter straight sections, but it was great running fast for a bit.

Nice little tempo on the trails - two times 1.75 mi loop with pace dropping from 7:48 to 7:30 to 7:04 and about 6:40 for last half mile.  Three quarter mile warmup and cool down.  Lovely evening for a run.

Another lovely evening for an easy trail run and then barefoot striders on the football field.

Wednesday's little workout fired up the PF pretty good so no running the past two days to see if I could run this race comfortably.  It went really well for the first two flat miles (6:33 and 6:32), and then there is a half mile uphill from 2.0 to 2.5 - struggled a bit to mantain pace and the uphill poked at my heel pretty good too - bit of pain every stride on in to the finish.  Only ballooned up to 6:39 for mile #3, so fairly pleased with the overall run.  Was hoping for closer to 20:10-20:15, but satisfied for now, especially since I've been nursing the heel for a couple weeks now.  Will stick with the sub-20 goal for a Mother's Day race on one of my favorite local courses - half-and-half trail and pavement in the State Park across from my neighborhood.
