Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
14.90	6.25	0.00	0.00	21.15

So decided to head down to the 10k beacuse the weather wasn't bad. Got down early and just started running. Overall did 11.3 before the race and then .2 of strides. I ran the race totally off feel. just kinda settled into a pace until the turn around. That wind....UGH. I tried to push it but my calf wasn't feeling it so I settled into 6 falt and just under for the way back. Then just a 3+ mile cool down with the guys. I have no idea what place I was but I am happy for the other guys. A lot of guys had great races despite the wind. Its always fun to hang with all of the runners from around the state. see ya in two weeks! happy with a 21+ mile day and two hard workouts on back to back days. Now for some recovery and icing!

Red Miles: 14.90	Skechers GoMeb Speed 2 Miles: 6.25

nice race today. lots of pre-race miles! i knew it was going to be a windy race when the first thing i saw upon arrival was your wind-swooped hair. :)

20+ miles with a nice 10k tempo effort is a great day. Definitely a good training stimulus for PHX. Nice work Dave.

You had a nice serene picture at the end of the 5k and now at the 10k I'm pretty sure you're posing for the camera. Like the gal who is out there only to hop in the air like a firework every time she passes a camera. Nice talking to you a bit and nice effort. Hopefully you're back to normal soon enough.
