Ran 7 miles in GA outside the hotel. My wife joined me for 5 and then I picked up the pace for 1.5 miles before being chased down by a little dog. My wife saw the whole thing and was dying laughing when she saw me duck into the bushes and disappear with this little dog circling round. Everything ended up ok, pride a little shot though- 7 miles total for the morning.
5 miles on the beach.

Ran a 5k while on vacation near Orlando. It was warm, humid, but not overbaringly bad.
Mile 1: 6:06
Mile 2 marker: 12:20
Mile 3???
Finish: 19:47
I'm definitely not in the best racing shape, but this is a step in the right direction. Hopefully the times will begin to improve as we hit Fall.
My 2 daughters ran 23:10 and 23:29 and my wife got a 26:03. |

Jogged 1 miles warm-up, went into a 5-mile tempo @ 7:15 pace (2 steep hills), and then crawled the rest of the way back to the gym- 10.5 miles total. I'm in trouble for a 20k 1 week from Monday. Need to stretch out the mp miles over the next 10 days.
Jogged another 6.25 miles w/my wife.

| Continue to stretch out my mp running. Have a 20k next Monday and feel completely unprepared. Last week I stretched for 3 to 5 to 6 miles @ mp. Today I did 10 miles @ 7:18 pace through strong hills. I broke it into 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 w/.25 between sets and mile jog at the end- 12 miles total. Hope to stretch one more long run together @ fast pace on Thursday and then rest for 3 days before the race on Labor Day.

| 2 mile warm-up and then 8 miles on the TM @ a 7:15 pace (7:24,7:24,7:18,7:18,7:13,7:13,7:07,7:07). Wiped up my embarrassing mess and headed home- 10 miles total.

| Did 1-miles warm-up and then 6 miles a close to race pace in 39:14 (6:32). Closed with another mile cooldown- 8 total. I'm pleased with how I've stretched out the mileage over the past 10 days or so. Still not sure if I can keep race pace for a 20k next Monday, but I plan to rest the legs this weekend and hope for fresh-leg magic to help me through. My goal at this point is to break 1:25 for a 20k...just not sure if I'm ready for the distance.
