Didn't much want to run this morning, but I'm glad now that I made it over to run with the club, we did 20 on the marathon course and it went pretty good. The first ten I ran in 1:08:14 for a 6:49 average, then I reset my watch I wanted to push the next ten, but that didn't workout to well. I ran 1:05:19 for the last 10. The first 5.5 miles were good, then I started cramping up some and the soreness I've been feeling the last few days was bothering me more than it had been earlier in the run, so I slowed the pace down to about 7:00. In fact I met up with a 15 year old kid that was out training for the marathon and I ran about two miles with him, then picked up the pace again and finished pretty strong. Overall, not super pleased with the run, but it was not bad considering the week I've had. Total time would be 2:13:36, so maybe a minute slower than a few weeks ago, but I was also in a lot more pain today. Anyway, I think things will be fine, I would just like to have three more good solid weeks of training. I still think I'm on pace to run faster than I did last year. .5 cool down back to the store Cumulus-187.5
