47F, wind N 12 mph, light rain/mist.  Nice and refreshing morning for a run.  I just did base miles today, 8:03 AP.

My legs knew it was Tempo Tuesday, but I had to deny them any speedwork today.  I have my PFT tomorrow (pushups, situps, 1.5 mile run) so I will move the tempo run to Thursday.  My goal will be to crack 9:00 (6:00 pace) on the run portion.  I think I'm in shape for it but I always underestimate how much the pushups and situps take out of me.  FYI, less than 2 years ago I ran a 13:30 (9:00 pace) and almost failed this test...

And you are just scratching the surface with your running.

The people on this blog are extraordinary runners -- sometimes that gets lost because we just talk to each other but there are very few people doing what we are doing. Good luck on the test, I think you will break 9.

Thanks guys. Flat - yeah, don't know about you but I feel like a slowpoke on the blog and a speedstar other places (work, local races). That's why I like this blog, it lets you know you have a long way to go.
