Got to the gym early so did a few weights before heading to TRC.  Spring Creek was on the calendar, but discovered that the Napa bound folks were doing a pace run with 4 miles at MGP.  While my next race involves lots of hills, I have been lacking in runs at a sustained pace.  As such I joined the pace run train.  We did a 2 mile warm up then 4 miles that averaged about 7:20.  The point wasn't to bust a gut, but to feel good cruising at MGP type pace.  I felt rock solid at that pace so I think I made the right choice.  We then cooled down back to TRC before I headed back to the gym.  Good morning's work...and now I am at work...

That hurt....16 miles on my own.  Expo Hills to trail, 1-35 loop on trail, then expo hills back to the house.  Very tired by the end, but I made it.
