I ran out to mini GU corner and up to the red brick house just shy of GU corner, took about a 60 second walk break and then headed for home... It was nice out this morning, the roads were clear and it felt pretty toasty for a change and I was surprised at how ell my legs felt especially after yesterdays run and my legs were feeling pretty wiped out! I started with a warm up mile and then I eased into a little tempo run with a progression for each mile starting with; 8:13(148), 7:31(154), and then slowing mack down with, 8:01(153), 8:29(153). Then speeding back up with 8:17(156 had a small hill in that one), 8:09(157). My average pace was 8:13 with a total time of 57:51 and my heart rate average was at 153...

I felt very good with this run, my quicker miles are starting to come back down into more respectable range, I am still not where I want to be, and also I am not where I was before I had my injury but I feel like I am on the right track!!! I hoping to do some hill training this week, not a lot just throw in some smaller hills and see how I do. If I do them it will probably be Thursday because tomorrow I will be doing a recovery run...

Sere ya tomorrow...

Tom,

Thanks. We need to hook up for a run one of these Saturdays, I could probably keep up with you for about a half of a block...

Curtis,

Thanks Brother, I feel like I am getting ready to break through these wall that seems to be holding me back!

Brent,

I haven't ran Hobble Creek before. Is it organized well? I know a lot people that run it, thanks for the encouragement too...
