On the road to BOSTON!

6 miles of nothing special. Still pretty tired from Saturday's run. I guess I need a few days to loosen the legs up- 8:11 pace

AM: 8.75 miles over to Bloomington Hills and then a bit of a loop and back- 8:10 average. Legs are still a bit sore from Saturday's run- nice 60 degree morning

Same run as yesterday- warmer temps- average pace 7:31......39 seconds per mile faster with the same effort, felt good!

What a great day! Drove in to work with my wife and ran from Dixie Eye Care out to River Road to the Chevron in Bloomington Hills turned right through the hills to home. Was planning on a very slow run today just to get in some miles. I had a good, hard massage yesterday and didn't think I would be able to do much. Went out and my legs were feather light today. Hit the first mile at 7:59 so I decided to get maybe 3-4 miles at a quicker pace with the nice downhill that was ahead. I ended up averaging 6:48 pace for the whole run. I did take some breaks after the first 4 miles and concentrated on 1/4 to 1/2 mile speed work.I was trying to maintain 6:10-6:20 pace in those short runs, many times hitting mid 5's but couldn't hold them very long-

I fell great after this workout and I am looking forward to seeing what I can do at Utah Valley-

9 1/2 miles with Big Foot, Wildbull and the Budda----Ran from Mikes home up to Snow Canyon park 5 miles then back. First 5 slow and steady 8:17 pace going up-

Coming back first 2 miles at 6:35 pace and then took it easy with 7:02 for the last 2.50- I took the short cut-

overall 7:37 average for the run.

I am feeling pretty good for the race next week-
