I slept today until 12:00 pm. (worked last night) I ate a small lunch and went out for a run. Wonderful day to be out. I'm trying to increase my mileage and today was a good day to start. I ran 5 miles starting off easy and then slowly increasing the pace. The first mile was a 9:24/pace and the last was a 8:32/pace. Legs were a little sore from the hill work  yesterday but after I warmed up everything was ok.

This morning I tried to get out early because it is suppose to get warm today.

I ran 4.80 miles in 38:35 / 8:02 pace. I picked up a running friend this morning. A 12 inch tall little brown dog. He followed right behind me for 3 miles and then he saw another dog in a yard that he liked better than me. (I guess) Pretty good morning.

I ran a easy 6 miles this afternoon while my oldest daughter and wife followed me on their bicycles. We met an elderly lady walking and she said that I had 2 very pretty trainers.(very nice)

I was surprised that I felt strong at the end. My last 1/4 mile was at a 7:15 pace. Nice afternoon.

Today I ran the Liz Hurley 5k in Huntsville Al. The morning was pretty cool but felt good to me.(low 50's) I ran a 1 mile warm up. I set my garmin pace alert at 7:45 to try to keep me from starting to fast and getting tired at the start.

The race started and I could'nt hold back. The first 1/2 mile was at a 6:55. Slowed down a little and still felt good.The first mile was a 7:28.

The second mile had a few small hills but nothing to bad. I was still feeling good but I was thinking about the hills in the third mile that Eric S. had told me about.The second mile was 7:45.

The third mile was just as decribed, quite a few hills. None of them were very long but they were pretty steep and they really took their tole on me. I finally made it to the down hill side of the course which happens to be the last 1/2 mile of the race. I should have pushed harder but I was content with my NEW PR 23:55!!!! My garmin showed  3.12 miles at a 23:47- 7:38 / pace. Officially it was 23:55. My weight for this race was 193, down from 205.

Mile 1-7:28 , Mile 2 -7:45 , Mile 3 -7:47 , Mile .12 -6:38
