Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
9.00	1.50	10.50

AM: 78F, 81%. 6.5 @ 8:09 AP. The UTSA team is ruining the uncompetitive side of the trail for me. Had to run the last mile in 6:50 to avoid getting caught by the girls. Might have to take my recovery runs the other direction again where I only have my fellow hobby joggers to deal with.

PM: 4 TM; vicious stride day

Kinvara 3 - Gray/red Miles: 10.50

Weight: 145.60

8-minute pace on a treadmill = feels like 9:30 on the roads. sub-5 down to 4:30 = feels like 7000 mph :-)

This winter I did strides on a Woodway mill (I miss those) and at 12.5 mph you felt like you were going to take off.

So true. Vicious = 12-13 mph. I don't trust the mill beyond 13, it feels like the tread is getting pulled out from under you, even though it's not an unreasonable speed on the roads. Once it cools off maybe I'll feel like doing them outside again, where they should be done...right now I do them out of pure boredom.

You've had a pretty solid week! Looking good! I bet those girls had a good time trying to catch you :)

Wow, that sounds pervy. Where's Burt?

He'll be here soon...he has a sense for these things.
