Ran pretty easy going out, then picked up the pace coming back. 10.25 mi. at 6:24 ave. I'm finding as I get older that it is taking more time to get my muscles warmed up. That is part of my racing problem. When I'm timing the races, I don't have much time to warm up. It has usually been just running around getting the finish line ready then maybe a quarter mile jog to the line. I'll have to work on a better race routine. My race warm-ups used to be planned and specific each time. 1 mile warm-up. 3-4 200 m. race pace repeats, jog to the line and stay bouncing while waiting for the gun.

rocket pace as usual! do you ever have any easy days? I have to do the same thing. I got to warm up and run a min of 1 mile with some stides to get the body working before a race. especially the short races. half marathons and marathons are a little easyer to get into.

I just can't get over how close our miles are everyday - for some reason it just strikes me as real funny.

Remember how much work it took to get kids to do warm up? That is always a pain. It takes me miles to get even ready to run.

Getting them to warm up and stretch. I still struggle with stretching enough. I just don't take the time. I know I should. Good luck with your team this year.
