Five miles on  my own.  Sometimes it is nice to just have me and my ipod.  Felt pretty good.  I worked on my form and it seemed to help.

Met the BBK's for speed work.  We ran 3 warm up miles and then did 2 x 1/2 mile repeats, 1 x 2 mile @ 1/2 marathon pace (ended up being more like 10K pace) and then 1200 meters with a 400 meter recovery.  I felt great today - FINALLY!  I hope it is a sign of things to come.

Met the BBK's for our Thursday workout.  We ran up Glenmore and then back down.  I had forgotten how difficult the up is because it does not look as steep as it is.  It took me a while on the return to get in gear.  I had a difficult time keeping it around a 7:30 pace.  The last .5 mile I work on visulization of the end of a race - pushing hard and running through to the end.  Felt great until the last 2 miles but nothing too serious.

I had planned on running with Cheris and Julie today but they both had things come up so I called Paula and she was great to come along.  We ran the first 8 together.  I was very tired from yesterday's long tempo run so the beginning was VERY slow, but I was okay with that because I was combining a long run with a recovery run - not the best combination.     I felt great when I dropped Paula off at 8 miles and then continued on my own.   I ended up picking up the pace as the run went on and felt really good.  The IT band was a little sore from miles 7 - 10 but then ended up feeling good after that.  Nice to feel good for a long run.
