Slept in a nit because I was so tired.  It is nice that I can do that right now.  I ran a loop into east AF and west PG.  I kept the pace nice and easy and felt relaxed.  I grabbed the VFFs and ran to the park across from my church to do 4x100m strides on the grass, and I felt even better after that.  45:00 for the run (7:30 ave pace). 

 (2130- 82 miles)

(VFF- 5 miles)

Hopefully I will feel decent in my 10 miler tomorrow.  I really don't know what to expect or how much gas I'll have in the tank.  I haven't raced in a long time so this will at least give me a decent idea of where my fitness is and where it needs to go.

Good luck tomorrow, what is the race?

Provo Riverwoods 10 miler. I have never done it and I thought it would be a fun training run for WBR next week.

Don't work so hard tomorrow that you don't have anything left for WBR!

Don't worry I will be ready for next week. I had a good chat with Mitch today and we were getting eachother all excited.

Hey, I didn't know you'd be at the race. Cool. We'll see you there. Better not get chicked ;)

Especially by Michelle- that would be pure humiliation!
