When I first started out this morning I was not feeling real chipper in the legs but as I got going they seemed to loosen up and I was able to run at a nice comfortable pace. I ran the Payson Park out and back but I didn't make it to the park I turned back at a half of a mile short of the park. My average pace was 8:41 with my heart rate average at 144 and total time was 52:35 a little slower than yesterday but I wanted to take it easy and listen to some tunes and enjoy it. My goal for next month is to run everyday, 6 days a week, and do some hills, with Strider's 1/2 coming up quick I would like to be in decent shape so I can perform well. But considering the time that I've had to prepare it might be more like a training run than an actual race, but we shall see. I hope to do a 12 or 13 miler tomorrow for my long run, I felt pretty good these last couple of days as far as my legs go so I am hoping for a good run tomorrow...

See you then...

Clay that sounds like a good goal for you. Take it easy on the hills and the striders and don't over do it. Be careful out there and happy training.
