Kohler's loop at 5:30 a.m. Felt a lot more rested this morning and was actually semi-conscious during the first mile. My legs didn't feel as fresh as yesterday, but they still felt pretty good. Ran a pretty steady pace through the first four and then picked it up a bit, just because I was feeling good. Ran 8:02 on the slight uphill from Kohlers and 7:17 on the slight downhill towards the high school. Averaged 8:02 over all, without feeling like I was pushing it. Tomorrow, I'll do a tempo run on the same route, probably going a little slower the first couple to warm up and then pushing it harder during the middle four.

Kerry it looks like you may be peaking as well coming into the WBR. I know Paul, Terry, Nate and Will all have either said or I suspect from seeing how they are running that they are all coming into top form for the race. Cory has been looking pretty good too albeit fighting foot pain all along the way. I'm feeling as good as I've ever felt as well so hopefully it will all result in an awesome performance for the team this year! I think the other team members are also doing great, although I haven't talked to them so didn't mention them by name. Only 10 more days! Hope we can all find the right balance and do just the right amount of taper over the next week and a half.
