AM. I enjoyed an easy run this morning. It was great to have both Larry and Kevin come out this morning. Yesterday Lyle said he was coming out, but we never saw him. We ran the normal Tri-City route. The weather was excellent. It was a beautiful morning.

PM. I thought I'd be running 5 or 6 miles alone at noon, but I bumped into Cory in the locker room and we decided to run together. He's still battling back from his foot surgery, running only one day a week. He seemed to be running fine today, and finished the 5.1 mile Lake View route in 44:25 (8:43/mi). I sneaked in a 6:43 fartlek mile just after the turnaround then jogged back and finished the run with Cory, averaging 8:16/mi for 5.4 miles.

You deserve an easy run today after all the miles and honey-do's from last week. What kind of schedule have you got planned this week. I'm thinking that at least on Thursday and Friday I'll cut back a bit, but try to get some decent workouts in tomorrow and Wednesday.

Paul glad to hear you and Cory got out today, I was tempted to show up at noon but I kept reminding myself this is a reduced mileage week and I was able to resist!

Good job on the fartlek mile. Looks like Cory is doing better all the time as well. Looking forward to the race on Saturday, I hope we can all have fun and enjoy the race!
