Met up with Bill, Mike and Art for a very easy wake the legs up run. Started at the Rec Center and ran up to Sunset and then back on the course to the finish line. Very windy on the way out. Splits: 9:59/ 9:16/ 8:27/ 7:09/ 6:41 8:23 average. It felt real good to go out so slow just talking away. On the way back after turning down from Diagonal I decided to hammer a few blocks. Dropped to 5:10 pace for 3 blocks and it felt sooooo good! After that slowed back down to 7:45 pace for awhile then I thought I heard Bill coming up on me the las few blocks so I dropped it down again to 5:20 pace to the finish line. I look back and it was just the wind that I heard. Based on this morning and my last few runs I don't think that I could be any more prepared....now hoping that Saturday morning the planets are all in alignment and my body says that that is the day!
