Early morning run. My body is tired from the long week and the increase in miles, but I have responded quite well to my first 60 mile week since the first part of September 2007. I ran into Alpine and back today. It took me a while to get the legs moving, first mile was 8:40. I started to get the blood flowing and each mile got better and better. I pushed out the last three miles in 17:11 (5:55, 5:43, and 5:33). My time for the run was 48:44. I was pleased with this week and it felt good to finish with a little tempo.

The highlight of the day was at the Davis Invitational where all of my kids ran well, and my best kid, Trevor Sharp, dropped 7 seconds off his PR and ran a 4:20 mile!  It makes coaching worth it when your kids do that well.  We went to dinner with Logan and Katie after the track meet.  Long but good day.

James, I did not see anything in my e-mail from you. Was I supposed to? Sounds like you running is getting better. That's really good, because this is definitely the best time of year for that.

It was cold enough this morning with that breeze that it took a little while to get going...of course, at no point during my run did I hit 5:33 pace :) Way to put in the miles.
