approximately 1.64 mile warm up.

2.73 miles at @ 6:47 goal pace, actually average pace was 6:48, 163bpm.  I ran until I hit a red light where the trail crosses a street, hence the odd mileage.  I felt OK but 13.1 miles is a long way to run that fast, at least it is for me.

approximately 1.56 mile cool down.

1.5ish mile warm up.

2x.25miles @6:29w/200meter recovery, 2x200 meters @6:13w/100meter recovery.

1.8ish mile cooldown.

Felt OK.  I did not run yesterday because I was home with a puking daughter.  I sure hope I don't catch that!  I'll probably rest tomorrow or maybe run a few EZ miles.  Then it is the Painter's 1/2 on Saturday.  I'll just see what the day brings.

It was a beautiful day for a race. Nothing but blue skies and a starting temp in the mid 30s.

I started with Rhett, meaning I drafted behind him for the first 5 or so miles. Thank you Rhett for towing me up that hill. After the hill I pulled in front of Rhett thinking he might like to do the drafting for a change. For some mysterious reason he dropped back. :?

From here on out I just kept chugging along. I just tried to keep my heart rate in the low to mid 170s. At about mile 9 I was passed by some dude that was moving along like a bullet train. I fell in behind him I tried to hold on. His pace had my heart rate up to 176 and I wasn't sure how long I could hold that. On the other hand, only 4 miles to go so maybe I could let him pull me to a sub-1:30 finish. He surged a bit and I lost him somewhere after mile 10.

I spent the last 5k making rash promises to myself and trying to convince myself I could run faster. I wasn't really sure what sort of finish time I was on pace for. Huans32 and his mom and dad cheered and gave me a big boost to kick it in. Thank you for that. Coming around that last corner I saw 1:29:0? on the clock. Wooo Hooo.

My chip time - 1:29:12! A PR. I really surprised myself today. :D
In 07 I ran a 1:34:xx at Painters (I'm not sure if this was my PR?)
