5:15am, 72F.  8:18 AP - Easy 8 (avg 8:34), then 8:17, 8:02, 7:41, 7:15.  Really felt good today.  Although in the early miles I was forcing myself to run 8:30s and people kept messing with me, like speeding up when I'm about to pass them.  I know that's exactly what I like to do, but it's somehow ok when I do it.  Normally I would've done everything in my power to speed by them but I was worried about completing all 12 so I ran my own steady pace like a big boy.

Dude, you got family competition! Watch out. Great workout! Keep it up.

I know Chris...some people...

Thanks Rye, it took me awhile to figure out what in the world you were talking about.

Nice pace on those last miles! Props for maturing!

Nice progression run! So cool that your better half decided to join the blog!

Thanks Tracy, I do feel more grown up all of a sudden.

Thanks April, I know, it's about time she joined. Although I wonder if half the reason is because she just wants to be able to post sarcastic comments on my blog.

We have you covered in all directions now. Maturity is so boring.
