I woke up at 6am and got my son Ethan off to a scout pow wow, and then I headed out towards Osborns and my goal today was to do at least 8 miles and and no more than 10 miles. I felt okay going out to GU corner (Osborns) and then on my way back I started to pick up the pace without even knowing. Starting with muile 5 my splits went like this; 8:23, 8:27, 8:16, 8:11, 8:03, and then finished up with a 8:16 to round out the 10. The good thing about today was I seemed to get stronger as the run went on, I know I wasn't really at MP but I think it was a pretty good tinman tempo for the last 5 and I felt I could have gone a little bit more but I needed less miles this week as I went pretty long last week. My average pace was 8:29 with my HR average at 146, total time was 1:25:49. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes at a moderate pace, RPM at 90 and then I finished up with some strength training on my upper body and then some push-ups. I'm pretty happy with the effort and I think I am on the right track;-) I did see my brother Curtis out today but I was pressed for time and so I didn't get a chance to run with him, but he was looking strong!

 

This is my 5 day of no Cherry Pepsi's and I've had no headaches at all, my plan is to cut my intake in half and see if it makes a difference in loosing a few pounds;-)

 

See ya tomorrow.
