A Runner at Heart.....Riding a Bike

It was 70 degrees and humid this morning.  I ran over to meet our group and we did a barefoot run on the golf course of about 1.5 miles.  The I ran a couple more with Lowell.  Then I ran down to Winco to meet with another running group and did 8 more with them before I broke away and ran home.  Total 16.39 miles.  Happy 4th of July!

It was 65 degrees this morning.  I ran 10.32 slow miles by myself, late night last night after fireworks.

It was 55 degrees..but a bit muggy with 85% humidity this morning.  I ran a few miles before the group run today.  We did speed-work (7 sets) today.  My average pace on the sets was 5:39.  Then I finished with a few miles with Barry.  Total 10.13 miles.

It was 55 degrees and muggy this morning.  I did my ISU loop by myself and did not push hard due to stiffness still in my left knee.  Total 15.23 miles.

It was 55 degrees and a bit muggy again this morning.  I ran a few miles before our group run and then we had them run the 5K course before the actual "race" on Monday.  We are doing the race at 6:00pm with a BBQ afterwards with awards, shirts, give-aways, the whole works.  We have several sponsors so all new runners will have no cost at all for a race and dinner!  We have shirts for about 75 runners and we hope to use all of them.  I ran home by myself at a quicker pace to finish up with 10.19 for the day.  Long run tomorrow.

It was 47 degrees on the top of Buckskin this morning....sweet.  I picked up Barry and Seth and we took off down the marathon course.  We started fairly slow, this was going to be Seth's longest run ever.  Around mile 9 I started pulling away from them, not meaning too but I felt really comfortable running a 7-7:10 pace.  I would work my way back to them every 2 miles and we took a short break just after mile 13.

Well, after that break I got a HUGE 2nd wind and just took off coming out of Inkom.  I was running very smoothly and turned around after 16 and had to go back quite a ways to meet with the other 2.  Then Barry said he wanted to run 2 MP miles from 16-18.  I think he thought he would smoke me because he had run the last 5-6 miles a lot slower than me.  We started off and I slowly pulled away from him and did the 2 miles in 13 minutes.  We finished the last couple nice and easy.  I felt like I could have easily run the whole 26 today and felt very strong.  Total 20.05 miles.
