Standard Monday morning run with Kevin, Kent, and Larry.

Average pace about 9:00.

We discussed that now that we have a pretty good base built up, we ought to start pushing the pace a little at least a couple of times per week, but no real decision on when or how fast.

When the alarm went off at 5:00am I heard rain and felt tired so I skipped the neighborhood run.

At lunch time I did a solo run of the hill course the Novell runners have named Eagle's View. I pushed pretty hard and ran it in 38:15, an average pace of about 7:40.

I'm not quite sure how to count the 100 feet or so I ran pushing a stalled car out of the intersection at State Street. :-)

Standard Wednesday morning hill run with Kevin, Kent and Larry.

Kevin and Kent pushed ahead.

Larry and I ran an easier pace. I didn't want to push the hills hard today after pushing hills hard yesterday.

Standard Thursday morning run with Kent and Larry.

I pushed hard up the first of the two hills. I pushed the second, longer hill up 2000 N, too, but the first hill had zapped my legs some so it wasn't quite as fast. I also pushed the pace down 2000 N to work on foot speed (5:45 pace).

I was planning to run at lunch time but I had some unexpected work, and the weather wasn't too good anyway.

We had planned a 12 mile run, but with the steady rain all morning we kept waiting...and then the day got too busy. I was very disappointed. I had really been looking forward to the long run.
