Woke up at 5:50 am this morning to prepare to race. Felt okay actually from my sickness and everything, but still decided not to race, I'd rather save the money and wait til next week when Im healthy. I figured the sleep was important so I went back to bed for another 4 hours. When I woke up I went out and hit the trail for a uptempo 9 miles. I basically wanted to see how far I could run at a decent pace and that was about 7 miles. Splits:

1- 7:01.9

2- 6:44.7

3- 6:43.6

4- 6:41.8

5- 6:53.4

6- 6:59.6

7- 7:03.6 (48:08, for 6 miles, 6:51 avg)

took a 1 min break here and then used last 2 miles as a cooldown

8- 8:22.0

9- 7:45.3

TOTAL-- 1:04:15, 7:08 avg

Overall, a good run. I decided to count everything under 6:45 as tempo miles and under 7:05 as GMP. Overall, a good run and it helped me gauge my current fitness.

beautiful new route today, but horrible horrible run. Had terrible GI issues and had to stop at mile 4 for a bear attack. Barely made it home after that. pretty sure i was right around GMp for the first 4 miles, right around 7 min miles, but after the stop just wanted to get home. 37:43, 7:15 avg pace.

busted my butt today, 12x400 at 1:16-1:20 pace with 1:15 recovery. Totaled times added up would be 5:15, 5:13, 5:13, for a total of 15:41 for 3 miles or 5:14 pace. Pretty good avg times added up, but my legs felt tired so I am taking another ice bath even tho i just took one last week. Hopefully rockin this 5k this weekend!
