I think God does not want me to run the Bean Blossom Half Marathon! :)

I tried to run it last year and was thwarted by an unexpected road closure.  This year I slept right through my alarm - 3 different times were set to go off!!  Woke up at 6:30 instead of 5:00.

 Oh well - went out and ran pretty good 8 mi. tempo run.  Judging by how hard I was pushing near the end to maintain pace, I should be thankful for oversleeping this morning !! :)

AM run:

1 mi. warmup - 9:30

8 mi. tempo - 54:40 (6:50s)

2 mi. cooldown - 21:08

PM run:

1 mi. warmup - 7:51

3 mi. threshold run - 19:47 - 6:56, 6:31, 6:20

1.3 mi. strides/cooldown - 2 x 100m pickups
