5am, 71F.  7 easy, then at about 0.2 into the last mile I sped up and brought the last mile's split down to 6:53.  Wanted to test my foot at 5K speed, and it passed so I will run the 5K on Saturday and get that sub-22.  AP for all 8 miles was 8:06.

Think I will take a day off tomorrow, but not sure yet.  I was going to take Saturday off but there are races Saturday and Sunday.  Sunday's race has free t-shirts so I can't skip that one!

Go Joe! Go Joe! (I one upped you, Burt)

Go Joe times infinity squared! Yeah! You are going to get your PR for sure!

Dang! I had my one-upper ready, but April stole it! I guess I'll resign myself to third place. (Sounds better than last place.)

Glad to see you are having a little bit more reasonable temperatures. They are really nice here now. Definitely do the races!

Good luck. Glad things are good with the little aches and pains. I am guessing 21 and some small change!
