Morning run, temp 65'

Sad to see the morning light fading away on the early morning runs. My stomach felt a little quizzy the whole run. Maybe fasting and then overeating wasn't good. Anyway, I decided it was time to really run a couple of fast quarters. I ran them both in 68 seconds. Now if I can do a decent tempo run this week maybe I'll have a little confidence going into Saturdays run.

Time 53:25, Mile avg. - 7:38

It is a little sad to see the light fading! But I sure enjoyed seeing the stars this morning too!

I have a feeling you have all the confidence in the world going into this race on Saturday! I'm excited to be at the finish line and see you and Tom and the other bloggers come racing in! Good luck!

Terry you're going to do great Saturday. I predict a finish time of 1:21:49.

Tom, I think our times are not to far apart. Around WBR time I'd think I could get close to 6:00 miles on the down hill portion of the race, but now I'm leaning more toward 6:15's on the down hill section. I'd think you would be very close to 6:15's on the down hill also.

From Tom on Tue, Aug 05, 2008 at 10:42:48

Terry I'm thinking 6:15 on the downhills as well. This is what felt about right at Striders and I'm hoping I can do this and still have enough gas for uphill/flat miles to average 6:20-6:25 overall.

BTW I did almost an identical workout as you today but I averaged 6:08 compared to your 6:15 :) However I must confess I was running on a slightly downhill course with a tailwind on the first mile. Plus I was supposed to go 3.5 miles but I wimped out and quit at 3. It felt harder than I thought it should have.

For some reason I can hold 6:10-6:25 pace for a good long time but if I go much faster than this I can't hold it for much more than a mile or 2 on a good day.

From Tom on Tue, Aug 05, 2008 at 10:46:49

Sorry Terry I said you averaged 6:15 today but I see it was actually 6:13 to I only beat you by 5 sec/mi. I figure the downhill/tailwind bought me about 5 sec/mi. so I'll call our workouts about equal. But overall you win because you ran faster on the non-tempo miles than I did.

Terry, Tom - You are both running great. I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one sub-6:00 downhill mile (or more) from each of you this Saturday. I wish you both the best of luck. I hope to see you before and/or after the race. Seeing you during the race would be bad...that would mean you had pulled up lame...or that I was running WAY too fast.

From Terry on Tue, Aug 05, 2008 at 14:48:07

Paul, it will be good to see some of the WBR team this Saturday. Hopefully, Tom will have a good story to tell after the race compared to the grump we had with us at the WBR. I'm hoping Tom is firing on all cyliders Saturday so that I get a real race from him.
