I was kind of sick to my stomach last night and couldn't eat much.  I ended up going to bed early to help me feel better, it seemed to work.  I felt okay this morning, other than I was a bit weak.  I met Paul at Logan High for a track workout.  We did alternating 400s and 200s with full recovery.  I followed behind Paul at a good distance in every interval and then he would wait for me and we would do the recoveries together.  My times were: (:74, :36, :74, :36, :74, :35, :74, :33).  I felt pretty good and tried to focus on my form and relax.  It is funny to watch Paul run away from me like I am standing still and he looks like he is just cruising, while I probably look like I am sprinting.  It is called "being at a totally different skill level!"  After the run Paul and I cooled down for a couple of miles, and then went our separate ways toward our homes. 1:08:36

James, based on your 15K time (and adjusting a little for the fast course), I'd say you nailed your R pace. Your VDOT is probably a little under 62.0. There is a good calculator for figuring training paces here:
