Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
6.25	0.00	0.00	0.00	6.25

North side - 6.25 miles, averaged 8:06

Setup my new 610 for racing and pace specific runs, leaving my 410 with just minutes, the time of day, and distance so I won't know the pace, unless I do math (which I am good at when I am not running at the same time).

Found something perplexing about how the blog displays information. Even though the blog counts Sunday to Saturday as I look at the graph option for the blog in "week view" it appears to count in a different fashion because it appears I have some serious spikes (most weeks in the 70s and two 90 mile weeks, which just isn't how I've been counting). January I was 70ish, February 70-80, March 78-86 with the exception of last week at 94.

Yeah, I've noticed that -- the graph is counting Monday to Sunday, which is great because that's how I do it!

I was just thinking about your 4 x 1. You might have realized this (it only just ocurred to me), but it's about the same pace as your 16 x 400 the other day...this time though, it was 16 x 400 without any rest for most of them! Anyway, just wanted to share that and reiterate how impressed I am. These next few races are going to be eyeball-popping, I think!

Some time ago I switch my Garmin to agree with the blog (how it counts for mileage board purposes). Now I see it is different depending on how you view the information.

I did notice and I couldn't quite believe it. I went out fast (5:35 for a good portion of that first mile), telling myself to slow down, but also telling myself to shut up because I was running "comfortably" (breathing for sure, but not bent over) at 5:30 pace and if I blew up at least I had run a significant mile PR. I backed off a bit in the last quarter or so. Just kind of clicked. I've had some pretty Zen workouts on that golf course this year. Makes me kind of sad that pretty soon old, overweight men will be ruining my view!

Good boy.
