Evening run, sunny, temp. 78'

I decided I'd go fast because I'm running 5.2 miles in the marathon relay Saturday.  I was hoping for 6:30 miles.  I did the 1st mile in 6:32, the 2nd mile in 6:35 and then it got a lot worse.  Hopefully, I'll run better Saturday.

Time 36:55,  Mile avg. - 6:50

Got home from work just as the sun was setting.  Kenna wanted to go with me so I dusted off the jogging stroller and pumped up the tires and pushed her on the run.  I might want to reconsider taking her.  She always wants me to go faster.

Marathon relay morning.  Temp 60'

After the last two nights of getting less than 6 hours of sleep, I woke up tired but racing still felt like the fun thing to do.  I was on Matt's team.  I met all but one of our team members.  I had to go to a scout meeting at 8:30, so I had to leave right after running.  I would have liked to hang around awhile and talk but I wasn't to be.

I was our 1st runner.  They yelled GO and I was off.  I tried to start off easy and I thought I was but after about a third of a mile into the race I checked the garmin and I was sub 6.  It wasn't long after that, that I started to feel the pain of going fast.  I lost confidence mid way through the race when the pain levels get high.  I thought of all the reasons why I shouldn't run fast.  I slipped from 3rd place to 4th.  Mile 3 was my slowest.  Then I toughened back up and got going again.  I moved into 3rd place and stayed their the rest of the way. 

For the rest of my teams great effort see Matts blog
