When I woke up I had zero desire to run. Not sure what's going on....I'm just not into it right now. I think it's because I don't have any races I'm shooting for in the immediate future and the fact that my training is going to completely fall apart in August when I'm in New Jersey for 3 weeks. It makes it hard to train when I know what the future holds, so to speak.

Anyway, after doing some errands and getting my 3rd car in just over 1 month (hopefully this one hold up-it's a Dodge Avenger and I really like it so far) I was mentally ready to run. When I left the house I didn't know if I was going to run 3 miles or 16 miles. I felt really good and found myself enjoying every aspect of the jog. I ran up into the East Medford hills which made for a 600 ft climb in 3 miles, followed by the same drop in 3 more miles. That type of course will be great for 2009 SG training.

Average Pace: 6:47

Rotterdam (331)

Dude, this was the first time I have looked at your blog, and hey your training paces are great for the distances you are running. And to have a 16:14 5K under your belt is awesome. I hope you are going to get some marathons under your belt because you would be a great marthoner. You are running some training runs like Kory Wheatley does and he is a premier marathoner. Good luck in your running.

Thanks. I'm actually trying to slow down on my training runs for a change. I've actually ran a couple marathons, but I'm not satisfied with the result so I've yet to post my times.... Maybe after the next one?
