I felt like a blob today - my eating must have been horrible this weekend.  But my runs felt good and strong - I guess I really reloaded for the long week.  I want to hit 70 this week.  Next Saturday is a 10 mile race that I surprised myself with a sub 60 last year.  The result of that one will really tell me where I am this year compared to last year.  I guess I've hit that plateau where my easy time wins are over and each new PR will be harder and harder.

I am loving this cooler weather.  Highs were only in the mid 80s and my run  tonight was around 80.  The long slog through the summer months ARE going to pay off.  I know it.

mid 80 is cool for you! AMAZING! I am certain all that awesome diehard training through the hot humid summer months are going to pay big dividends come race days!

GOOD LUCK w/ the race. Can't wait to see how it compared to last year...WOW! 10 miler under 60...wicked FAST!!!!

You're at the elite level where each new PR is harder. However I trust your best is yet to come!
