Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
8.00	0.63	8.63

Morning run: track warmup then stretches and Arctic Circle. Ran with Ally and Michelle Green most of the way out. Perfect cool weather, running felt really great, not slow, but easy just breezin' along. Pushed it harder on my way back, so I went by myself. Knee was great until last 3/4 mile or so.

Afternoon run: warmup, agilities and stretches, then out-and-back 4-miler to Green Springs balcony house. Kinda hot out (comparatively) today! First mile was same as this morning, legs got a titch tired once the hill started, but not enough to slow down for. On downhill back, knee bugged me a lot, tired-ish legs, but just coasted the downhill back. 10x100m striders when I got back - on the turf barefoot and it felt good.

Lifted: 3x10 of leg curls (10), lat pulldown (4,3,3), leg press on calves mid,in&out (90), front and back abs (10), bench (55,45,45) and squats (95).

Thanks for the comments, My marathon pace is between 5:40-6:00/mi, depending on the terrain and temps. You look like your going places! Keep it up and remember great distance runners are like locomotives, they build up steam slowly and are seen coming from afar...

Hey RuTh,

Sweet Picture! Concerning your spikes, I have no problem if you would like to return/ exchange. You did happen to try on some of the MD Spikes and I don't think you liked the feel of them if I remember correctly. If you would like to come in and try again you more than welcome. - Steve Hooper - SGRC
