AM - 12 miles. LT AT Reps: 6 x 1 mile in 5:10 avg (all +/- a second). Tempo loop. 2.5 up, 2.5 down. This weekend could be ugly. But, I'd rather run slower in January than June, so I'm keeping it in perspective, and being very patient with the progression of my workouts.
PM - 4 miles. Had just enough time to squeeze in 30 minutes before my Dad came over for dinner. He was up in SLC on business again. Running under 8:00 pace on easy runs is way too hard. I won't make a habit of it.
Great e-mail from one of my best friends from college about Cherry Blossom...
Oh I'm definitely planning on coming down. I looked at the calendar and said "oh, that's still like 12 weeks away, I can probably get into shape to run 10 miles by then" but then I looked at the Cherry Blossom website and registration is closed. THANK GOD! Plus I'd much rather be a spectator and watch you finish rather then have you finish the race, grab a drink, jog around, chat with the Merkels, take a shower, jog around some more, and then watch me finish.
