Ran the Litchfield Road Race Course with my oldest two. They flew through it today in 57:48 and 58:36- which includes .5 mile finish @ 9% upgrade hill. Jogged .75 at the end for 7.75 total.

I was tempted to run more today, but I'm faithfully sticking to the 10% rule. I'll stay in the 70's for another week or two and then maybe break into 80 mile weeks. I've been feeling very healthy, so don't want to fool around w/potential injury.

OK...I lied. Was studying before dinner and just felt a gush of energy. Decided to go out for a 3-mile (slow) which turned into a 6-miler (moderate). Did the first three @ about 9min pace and the last three @ about 8:10 pace. Felt great!
