AM - Met up with Aaron on the SG Marathon course at the top of Veyo Hill.  Aaron ran with me down to the top of Winchester Hill and then Took off with 9 Miles left from his house and I just cruised it in.  Nice quick pace. I can tell my legs are not conditioned for the downhill yet as of writing this Sunday morning I'm feeling a bit tight/ sore.  Ended up running down to Mike's Gym to catch a ride with Scott and Bill back up to the Jeep and did another 3 on the treadmill waiting for the Bull to come in from the run.  Ended up with a 6:08 ave for the first 16 to the Gym, then nice and easy on the treadmill.  Got home and ran another 4 in the evening to hit my 100 for the week.

AM - Club tempo.  I wasn't really sure how I was going to feel and almost just bagged it because we're planning on running the course this Saturday and I know we're going to push there as well.  Started off nice and easy and worked into it a bit.  Legs were a little tired, but aerobically I felt really good, relaxed and not too labored. Here's how my splits went:

6:12, 5:58, 4:48, 5:50, 5:55, 5:52, 5:54, 5:49

5:51, 5:49, 5:41, 5:42, 5:48, 5:51, 5:56 - Last Week.

A bit slower than last week but, I really wasn't trying to push too much.  Just happy to get through the 8 miles with a solid pace.

AM - Met up with the club for a 20 miler down the course.  Ended up starting with a pretty good sized group of guys for the first couple miles but ended up spreading our to  Logan, Aaron and I for the bulk of the run. I picked up a new pair of shoes the night before and started having problems about 5 miles in.  My feel and ankles were just killing me.  By the time we started around the valcano I was hurting pretty bad and struggling just to get down the hill.  The original plan was to do tempo for the last 10 - so we stopped, drank, dumped and headed out.  I wasn't too optimistic becuase I was hurting so bad. Logan had his car parked at the unfinished overpass because he had to go meet the xc team. I planned to give it a good push and see what happened - by the time I hit the end of the S turns my feet were killing me. I tried pushing a little further but didn't want to damage myself and shut it down.

AM - Met up with the club to do twenty.  Aaron and I decided to drive up to leeds and and come into town and hook-up with the SUHM course back down to Man of War.  Solid pace 6:35 ave.  Once we hit the DC I was starting to feel the effects of the humidty and the body started wanting to slow a bit. So, the last 2 miles I took easy back in. Great run - went by fairly quick.

I had some problem with jumping out of the car and just going straight into tempo pace. Then getting right back in. Hami's and Psoas were really acting up.  I also think I might have strained the psoas a bit.

Had a great time - 19:59 for almost 200 miles - 6th overall, 1st master 40+
