I ran the Payson park loop but its an abbreviated route, I don't go all the way to the park, I cut it off about a mile short and then I head back home... I took it really easy on the way out and then on the way back I did a progression run for two miles increasing my speed and then cooling down with a half mile at the end. The progression miles were as follows; 8:32(139), 7:46(150), and then I cooled down. I felt good on this run I didn't feel like I was working to hard on the faster paced miles so that was pretty cool. Tomorrow I will do Harry's Hill and then call it a week, next week I will ramp things up for one more week and then do a mini taper for the striders half. It will be interesting to see how I do in a couple of weeks I really don't know where I'm at, but I guess that will tell me...

See ya tomorrow.

Clay you've had a good run of training the last while so I think you'll do pretty well at Striders. Don't know about you but I'm starting to get a bit excited about the race.

Thanks Tom. Ya I am getting excited too, I just don't know how well I will do... I have been trying to take it easy this week to give my legs a rest and they seem to be co-operating. I still don't know how many miles I will do tomorrow. I think I will just play it by ear.
