| Normal Monday morning run with Kevin, Kent, and Larry. Kevin and I inserted a couple of fartlek runs, the first for about 3/4 mile and the second for about 1/2 mile. I ran about a 6:45 pace on each (Kevin was significantly faster). My overall average for the 6 miles was about an 8:45 pace. | | Add Comment |

| I went out early to add a couple of miles before the normal Tuesday morning run. I ran just under an 8:00 minute pace for those two miles. My legs felt pretty heavy this morning. The rest of the run with Kevin and Larry was at an easier pace. | | Add Comment |

| I started the day by running the normal Wednesday morning hill run with Kent and Larry. I didn't push real hard, trying to save my legs for 10K tempo run at noon. At lunch time Tom Lee and I ran the Lake View 10K course I had mapped out. We both had run in the morning. With the temperature near 80 degrees, we knew we had a tough run ahead of us. We ran the first half in 23:06 (7:25/mi). The heat took its toll and we ran the second half in 24:49 (7:50/mi). My overall time was 47:56 (7:38/mi). Tom was about 7 seconds faster. I feel good about the run. It was a good measure of where I am in my training, and I think pushing hard in the heat will pay dividends in the future, both mentally and physically. | | Comments(2) |

| I ran the neighborhood 5K course with Larry, Kent, and Kurt to prep for the race (fun run) this Saturday. My legs were still tired from yesterday's run so I took it a little easy (8:00+/mi.). | | Add Comment |

| The (17th?) annual neighborhood 5K fun run was today. Kurt won it with a time of 18:56, or something like that. Kurt, Justin, and Christian (all high schoolers) started out very quickly (5:30-ish for the first mile). I had decided to push the race hard so I foolishly allowed myself to run a 6:00 minute first mile (gradual downhill). I slowed to about 6:40 for the flat second mile. The last mile is a gradual uphill and I slowed a little more. Nevertheless, I was very pleased with my finishing time of 20:35 (6:38 average pace), a new PR for me for this course. I was just hoping to break 21:00. My mileage was down this week, but the hard 10K in the heat on Wed., and the hard 5K today, give me confidence that the training I have been doing has been effective. | | Add Comment |
