Well, I've got to say, I'm pretty happy with the way this week turned out.  After just 4 miles on Tuesday and the hectic work schedule, I thought I'd be lucky to manage 40 miles.  Glad this week is in the past.

I ran similar to last Saturday; long warm up and long tempo.  9 miles warm up in 6:57/mile average around Wal-Mart and the HS.  Started the 10 mile tempo near Holiday Inn on D Street before climbing behind Anderson Dental in Dimick.  The first 3 miles were tough with 75% of it uphill.  Returned back into town past Club NW, the HS, Wal-Mart and then home.  Last week I felt great but today it was a struggle from the beginning.  My legs just didn't have much juice but all in all, it was an okay run.  Averaged 5:48/mile for the 10 miles and then a slow cool down to wrap things up.

Another solid long workout in the bank. I don't think the stars will need to a line in June. Your gonna go sub 2:30 in June. Keep it up man.

We'll see. I hope so! The problem is I feel ready right now. I'm afraid that I might get burned out between now and then. June 2nd seems like ages away.

Yeah that's kind of how I was feeling. Find a race between now and mid to end of April. You'd still be able to recover and do Newport too. Having just ran a marathon I still feel like there's too much time between now and San Diego.
