AM: Ran the river bottoms with Kim 4.35 miles. We attempted to sleep in a bit longer than usual but our biological alarm clocks would have nothing of it and we both woke up a bit after 5. Laid around for a little bit attempting to fall back to sleep but finally gave up and went out on the run. Another beautiful morning, a bit windy but not so bad if you run the wind-friendly routes. Ave pace was relaxed today, I think just over 10 min pace. Kim got in a couple more miles after I stopped. 

Noon: Good size group today for the run for a change. Did the 10K Eagleview loop with Nate, Darin, and Steven K. Will also joined for a mile. Ave pace 7:33.

Thanks for helping me reset that clock in my head. You are probably more surprised than anyone to see me enjoying getting up early! It just starts the day out so good for the most part!

Wow! Do you guys get up that early every day? I can't even see anything that early in the morning.

How did you get steve and darin to go that slow? I guess they always are just ripping on their workouts, but maybe not.

In the good old days 7:30 miles would have been fast for you know its just regular training. Nice to see.
