Drove over to the track run at Danville this afternoon. Tried to warm up with George, Rose, Joel, Bill and Don and they were leaving me. I'm thinking, this is the warmup and I can't even keep up. Couldn't keep up with them on the track either, but I accomplished the goal of averaging less than an 8:00 mile. Rose almost lapped me, not quite. Joel lapped me on the FOURTH LAP. Sheesh.

Got 5K and 10K splits. The 5 was 24:46. The 10 was 49:42, faster than my last two 10Ks. Then I ran 5.3 laps in the last 10:18, so there was a bit of a kick there. Not much, but I didn't expect much after 26.2 last Sunday.

Up at 5:15 for a JTTC run with Sherrie. Everyone remained vertical this time. Left knee was a little balky, perhaps due to turning left 60 times Sunday afternoon. Got through it at a 9:58 clip. Then I went back to bed for two hours.

Tried out the Newtons tonight at SHS. Did the first mile on the turf inside the track, felt OK with that, so moved out on to the track. Not entirely easy to take heel striking out entirely, but I managed fairly well. Felt good enough that I put the hammer down for the last two laps at 7:15 pace, although it felt even faster than that. Total of 5.25. Newton experiment is a success so far. Will I run the 5K at Russellville in them? Maybe.

Up before dawn to run with Kathy L. She did 5, I did 7. Temp was 26 when we started, went down another degree, but tights and two layers up top was plenty. My first run on the roads in the Newtons. Seemed to be OK. I'm still adjusting my stride to them somewhat.
