| Easy 8 at the track, extended to get me over 40 miles for the week. Not OCD or anything, am I? |

| Four laps around the golf course loop. Weather was quite favorable -- low 50s and overcast -- except for that wind. Which was a mutha. Probably was pushing 30 mph at times. It was great running downwind, but into the wind? Wow. Wind contributed to a bit of a bonk on the final loop. But even with that "bonk", I averaged 8:18 for the entire run. Easily the fastest long run I've ever had without a bib pinned to my shirt. At least 7.5 miles were at MP. If this doesn't give me confidence for the 18th, nothing will. |

| Intervals tonight, cut a little short. It was hot (almost 80) and I felt a little queasy after two reps, so I bagged the last rep and jogged the recovery laps instead. Still got two 3000-meter reps at the appropriate pace, though, so I accomplished the objective of demanding a little bit from the legs. |

| Once around the golf course loop at Ben Geren. Warm and humid, but got through OK. Days are clicking right off... |

Up to Fayetteville today to see T and go to the baseball game. While waiting for T to get out of class, did a loop around campus from his apartment -- down MLK to Frisco Trail, up the trail to Maple, down Maple to Razorback, and back to the apartment,. Very warm, very humid, very many coeds out in shorts and neon colored tanktops (apparently due to some kine of sorority thing this weekend, since all the tanktops had sororities on them). Weather was brutal, and of course plenty of hills, but got a 9:18 pace. Hogeye is this weekend. I do no envy anyone doing 26.2 in this weather over those hills, even with a very early start.
Also swung by Fleet Feet. Robbie and Lance were both there, and another guy I don't know who has run Boston three times. He had lots of tips for me, stuff to take, stuff not to take, how to handle Wellesley (his advice: stay left). Got me even more jacked up than I already was. Bought enough Roctane gels to cover me for the race, too.
Won the game 2-0, too. Afterward went to Foghorns for beer and nuclear wings. DVH came in while I was there and got a little ovation. If he'd been drinking beer, I'd have bought him one. |
