Today I went up to Jeremy Ranch Road to run with the Skyline team. We were doing ten miles. (It ended up a little more)

The first mile was pretty easy, 7:11. The second, third, fourth, and fifth were also pretty easy but we picked it up. It was comfortable, but pretty quick. (6:38, 6:37, 6:41, 6:47)

On the way back we kept it relaxed, but slowly picked it up as we went on. We went 6:47, 6:44, 6:34, 6:24 for miles six, seven, eight, nine. Morgan dropped off at about eight miles, and I was with Gemachu from then on.

The last mile was fast. We were going pretty fast, and Gemachu decided to push it hard the last half mile. It was hard, but I stayed with him. I think the last half mile was 2:33, and the last mile was 5:35. It was a good run, and it wasn't too hard except for the last couple miles.

My legs feel good, not sore from Saturday, and no injuries.

Hey all i could pull up on the unis was two smalls and 1 large. Thats all we had left. They run a little loose though. So the smalls should be okay for Nate, and either you or Neil. They bigger of you and Neil will have to were the large and maybe tuck it in. Sorry man, this is all i could do, if we all want the same color unis. I could bring 3 smalls, but then i would have to wear a red one i have. Blog me the info on whats going on though and what were going to do about the starting line and stuff and about the dinner. See you Thursday, lets kick some butt man.
