6:00 am. 10 Mile General Aerobic. Went out for my yesterday's run. Now I know why the long run should come after the medium run, not before. I felt OK, a little bit drained from yesterdays run, but the perfect running weather helps a lot. Followed the Bullriver trail out and around Smiths and back. 10 miles in 1:15 7:15/mile avg. I will try and take the kids to the school for some 8x100's later today just so I can log a full 100 miles this week. Wouldn't want to be short 1/2 a mile. OK, I finally made it to the school with my 8 year old, Bradin after a busy day. We layed out 100M on the pavement. I had him time me using my iPhone clock which I know is not as accurate as electronic gates but hey, a 8 year old is cheaper than gates. Ran 8 x 100's with a 100 m jog back to the start each time for a total of 1 mile. My splits went like this. 15.4, 15.7, 15.0, 15.2. 15.6 15.9, 15.4, 15.3. I was trying really hard to break the 15 second barrier but just couldn't muster it. So according to these (very accurate) splits, and Sasha's calculator the fastest marathon my body will ever be capable of is a 2:30:00. I think I would be OK with that, but I would love to prove him wrong. Forgot to mention, Bradin's best time was 20.2 seconds. Which I thought was pretty good for an 8 year old. I didn't keep track of all his splits since 1/2 of them where on a scooter, and the other 1/2 he was a "rocket ship" which ironically slowed him down quite a bit.
