I was tired from the weekend and slept in this morning.  I got a run in later in the evening.  It was nice to run in shorts and a t-shirt.  Total time for 8 was 57:37 (7:12/mile).  I wasn't trying to push the pace.  It just felt good to run without all of the long, winter clothes.

The warmer days have been nice.  I decided to run the full 10.1 with the group this morning.  I would like to go 10 a couple of times this week and keep the other days at 8.  Jeff ran a 4:42 mile for some speedwork in the middle, and Sasha and Mary Ann also did some speedwork.  The idea was for Mary Ann to run a mile in 5:20 or until she couldn't keep the pace.  She made it to 1000m on pace and then finished up in 5:30 something.  Sasha continued on and ran a 5:19.  I didn't want to do a full mile, but I did 3x400m with 200m rest in between.  I finished the mile in just over 6:00.  Total time for 10.1 was 1:22:17 (8:09/mile).  I felt pretty good throughout the run, but I was a little more sore during the day.

I ran the usual 8 with the group plus Elana, Mary Ann's friend.  We started off with 4 at around 9:10 pace, dropped off Elana, and headed back out.  I ran another 2 with the group and turned around.  Total time was 1:07:54 (8:29/mile).

I ran with the usual group and did 8 in a time of 60:51 (7:36/mile).  I ran part of the middle a little bit faster, but overall an easy pace.

This was a crazy day with everything I had going on.  I didn't get much sleep because I was working on my presentation for Spring Research Conference at BYU and my poster for LPSC in Houston.  I spent the entire day finishing up those two things which included lots of troubles with printing the poster.

Another long night and long day with no running.  My presentation went well though.
