morning - club run around into Green Valley up onto Parkway and back by way of Main. I struggled much of the run. I was so tired getting up (had stayed up much later than usual watching the state basketball semis (go PV, sorry Judge guys). So it took a long time for me to get into it. Clyde made a strong surge on the Parkway and Steve went with him, so I decided I needed to as well. From there I just tried to hang on as they picked it up to marathon pace when we hit the trail, diagonal, and main. Pace was right on for those 3 miles (5:54, 5:51, 5:48). Then I finally loosened up and pushed up in front to take my turn leading and pushed the last mile in at 5:41. Then 1/2 cool down. Ave. pace 6:48. (Landreth)
PV went on to win again Saturday night - State Champs! Maybe some of that enthusiasm will carry over into track (in my dreams!) Did well with the week goals. Good mileage. Made up for windy finish on Thursday with a good push at the end of Sat. Mile repeats weren't that great, but I'll bounce back. Goals for next week: Give myself a little break with the start of track and nearing the end of the quarter. Back mileage back down to 65ish. No two-a-days this week. But have 7 strong 1/2's Monday and get a long run in on Saturday or maybe Friday.
