AM: Got a bit over 5 with Kim then around 3 more solo miles afterward. Another fairly peaceful, mild morning. From the weather report we thought it might be stormy but the skies were pretty much clear and best of all NO WIND!!! Ave pace with Kim around 9:55 (we typically start slow then speed up each mile finishing around 9:00-9:30 pace). Ave pace solo miles 8:00.

PM: Had intended to go the gym at work and do my circuit/weights workout and then maybe a couple of miles on the treadmill. However I got engrossed in the last section of a movie and had to see the end and ended up doing almost 4 miles. I think the name of the movie was "August Rush". I need to rent it so I can see the whole thing, I thought it was pretty good. Ave pace: 7:57

Tom, another good week for you! Very glad, you are doing so well. I heard you guys were coming to Sunny St. George on the 12th. Man I wish I was able to run, it would be a blast to put some miles in with you. Keep up the good work, STGM will be here before you know it!

It is a good week for you, nice mix and good consistent running. Your tempo run on Tue was solid, I liked the push on the last mile.

August Rush is a good movie especially for a musically inclined guy like you.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Mike - we will in SG on the 12th so hopefully we can hook up with some of the great running crowd down there that morning. I'm bummed out that you have to be out of commission here for a while, it would be great to run some miles. Hope things work out well for you and look forward to a great STGM for all of us!
