Felt ok - just did a short run after work.  Almost skipped it but glad I didn't.  Going to take it easy this week in prep for the ultra on Sunday. 

 4.4 at around 7:30 pace.

I brought the family along to track night tonight.  I am hoping the kids will want to try it next week.  And my wife was nice enough to tag along.  The kids were really good actually and I my 8 yr old will try the 800 next week.  I ran the 1500m and the 3K races tonight.  This is the first time since last year that I did those distances.  This week I wanted to go out a little harder and not hang behind anyone like the past two times this year. 

The 1500 I went out a little harder and didn't wait on anyone.  I think it paid off.  4:45, which is a 23 sec PR over last year.  That's pretty cool.  I just don't have another gear like some of those guys do.  I need to work on that for the end of these races. That time is right on for my McMillan pace calculator prediction from my 5K race time in Feb. 

 The 3000, I didn't expect anything after hitting the 1500 pretty good.  I tried to just go out comfortably, and tried to pick it up on the last 2 laps.  It was a big field, so there was a lot of running around people as we lapped them, but that didn't hurt too much.  Anyway, I felt good about this one for not taking it out hard.    10:37 -- which is a 24 sec PR.  This is 27 sec off of my McMillan predicted time.  But after racing the shorter races, it is hard to follow up with a PR in the longer. 

It was a nice night and cool to have the family there tonight.  Now I just need to take care of my legs and get ready for Sunday

Ran around 8 PM tonight.  It was fine.  My legs were a little tired from last night but not bad.  I'll try to do around 8 tomorrow and then take it really easy Friday and Saturday.

went out after getting the kids supper.  It was raining really good.  It is always fun to get soaked by the cars on the road.  My shoes do a really good job of losing water once they get soaked.  It is pretty cool how they do.
