Good 12-miler this morning. Hay is in the barn for sure, however much hay there was to harvest. Weather was low 40s, a bit blustery, actually could have used gloves (but have discarded all my discardable cheap cotton gloves). Settled in at sub-9 pace after I turned out of the headwind at Creekmore Park and just kinda cruised. Didn't feel like I really pushed the pace at all until the last mile or so. And I got it done before I got called to the ER. Nice.

6.5 with strides tonight at SHS. Felt pretty good as the run went on. Maybe I actually can run a decent race... I'll say one thing, I will be shocked if I get to the line and the clock says 3:2x. But it'll be the best shock of my life.

Dress rehearsal run today along Phoenix. Being OCD, I needed 7.7 miles today to get to 200 for the month, so you knew that was going to happen. With a detour to Academy to look for the restroom, it became 7.95. The MP segment went pretty well, smoother than many of my MP runs have been -- especially since I finished my run last night only 16 hours before.

Shortie tomorrow, may or may not run Friday before getting on the plane, shortie in Sacramento Saturday morning, then try to hang with the pace bunny as long as I can Sunday morning.

Shakeout run before I get on the plane. Legs didn't feel great, but then I didn't sleep much last night either. Dunno if I'll do a couple of miles tomorrow morning in Sacramento or not. Either way, in three hours I'll be boarding the plane for CIM -- and heading east...

Just an easy warmup jog for CIM. Sunny, clear, cool, but a bit windy. Wind is supposed to die down overnight, rest of weather should be ideal. Now off to the expo.
