thought it was a little cooler today but it isn't. but I didn't have to stop and catch my breath at all. Just ran an easy pace. miles 2 and 3 were a little faster, but then it evened out a bit

Chrys will be working late again so I will shoot for two short ones today. I rolled out the door a few minutes after waking up this morning for a nice 4 miler. Felt good.

Just a short day today. Slight pain in my foot at times during the run. Nothing afterwards though. Will monitor it closely. Felt good except on the last mile where I felt out of fuel. Not much lunch and no snack so that would explain it. Still a decent pace compared to many this last month or so.

5 @ 7:13 ave pace

I'm kind of excited and nervous for my 4 mile race on Sat. I usually go out too fast on this course. If I can reign myself in for the first 1.5, I will have something left. It is "moderately hilly", as they say on the website. This course is hard to fly in the first mile and then just hang on. Last time I ran it, I got a 23:31 and the previous year was a 23:32. I won't see those times but I've lost a lot of fitness since 2010. Low 6 pace would be a step in the right direction. Maybe beat 25. With my 10k time last week, McMillan puts me in at a 25:19. I think I'm in better shape than that. We shall see.

ran over to the race which gave me a decent warmup. Never really felt that spunky. But I always feel that way for this race. Pretty even effort the whole way. I know where my fitness is (or is not) at least.

6:19 pace for rhe race
