Kent, Larry and I headed to the THS track again this morning. I did 6 x 1/2 mile intervals in 3:33, 3:34, 3:30, 3:29, 3:28, and 3:28. I've been much faster than this in past years, but this year my focus was intentionally on long, slow miles preparing for the ultra marathon last month so I'm not surprised nor too disappointed that I've lost some speed. The nagging injuries (which are improving) and packing some extra pounds have also slowed me down. I feel pretty good about this morning's workout. I was pretty consistent, felt stronger, and was a little faster than last week. It was a beautiful morning out running with my buddies. No complaints. The glass is definitely at least half full.

Nice job Paul. Those glass half-full days are alot better than the half-empty days.
