I don't really know what to call this run since it's not part of my RLRF training program. Since I've not been able to get and cross-training in I just decided to RUN! No pace, no plan, no heart monitor, just run what felt good. I ran the flats medium, the down slopes faster and the hills slow (I guess that was the plan :-). My legs were a little sore but actually better than yesterday. Tomorrow I will run a Temp run, then have a couple of days off. I'm not sure what my running schedule will be for the next 10 days as I am leaving for The World Series Team Roping finals in Las Vegas on Thursday. It may all be treadmill runs for those days.

Matthew 28:19-20

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

7:43 Pace for 10 miles? That is pretty solid, man. Half-planned or not, I like it.

Right now, this distance and pace feels good. Never over stressed, breathing hard or leg fatigue. Now I've got to multiply it by 2.6.

-- Nice workout yesterday

-- Good filler run today. I find myself doing a lot of that easy-ish-but-not-exactly-a-vacation pace, for my everyday runs. Just builds up that endurance.

-- Good luck in Vegas! This is the big one, right? Don't forget us little people when you come home as a World Champ.
