Night run thru neighborhood and oak lea. Easy w/u then 3 at MP. Felt relaxed, although I was a bit heavy from eating way too much Sat dinner and Sun lunch. Cooler temps are here, this is a great time to run in our area,  I need to find a race on the 11th to test my fitness level.

Work day, plus Chuck, Heros, and Life conspired to keep me off the roads.

Ran after work while the girls were with Kelly in Huntsville at their soccer games. Did my favorite 8 miler over to Dunbarton and back. Started with an easy 2 to w/u then dropped down to MP for 3, then dropped a 6:18, finished with an easy 2 c/d.  55:57/7 min avg pace.

2 mile warm up then 8 X .5 @ 2:45-2:54 with 2 min walking recovery between, 2 mile cool down. I did this workout on the block loop in front of my house. It has a slight incline and decline so it mimics road racing conditions fairly well. I was not overly taxed during the workout, which leads me to think I should have shortened the recovery time.

Two runs of 4 miles each with a two hour break in between. I ran over to Eric's house to watch Iron Man, then ran home  7:28 pace/7:45 pace.

Work day. After work Lily, Camille and I went over to our friends to help them move. Actually they played with their friends and I helped load boxes and furniture into the van. A good upper body workout.

I was planning on getting in 12-13 today, but it wasn't meant to be. After work Kelly and I met her parents at Logan's for her Mom's birthday dinner. I thought my stomach would be good to go for a run by 9pm. About one mile into the run I got terrible cramps that would not let up. I bagged it at 6 when my pace dropped to 9:30 and dinner threatened to come up.

Avy got a sore throat Friday morning and missed school. Kelly took her to Dr on Sat morning, he found nothing serious and she was back to her normal self by that afternoon. Kelly  missed the Elkmont 10K she had signed up for, but her running continues to go well. We both plan on running the Monte Sano 15K on the 11th.
