Early AM: Ran 5 with Kim then 1 mile solo. Paced Kim on a 3 mile tempo run. Goal pace was in the 8-8:30 range. Kim did great and averaged just over 8 min pace with the last 2 miles in the 7's. I'm pretty sure she'll be seeing a bunch of PRs in 2011 starting with Painters 5K.  Pretty warm this morning, in the 40's, still humid but not as much as yesterday and no rain. Calves felt just fine, I didn't wear the compression socks so maybe I do better without them.

8:32

Late AM: Did 4 more miles on the roads near work. Must have phased off or been sleep running on this one as I can't hardly remember any of the run. But the watch confirms that I did indeed run 4 miles. My timing was great I got some sun, very little wind, and no rain. After I got showered and heading to my office it was raining and windy.

8:24/143

Today I'm thankful I have great in-laws and aunts. And Happy Birthday to Kim's Mom and my 2nd Mom Sharron! Also Happy Birthday to my Aunt Betty who has been known as our family's "Grandma" Aunt Betty for many years since my Mom passed away over 17 years ago and Grandma Aunt Betty has stepped in to help fill that role for our kids.

You're getting some good mileage in this week.

I was wondering, does your condo qualify you as residents for St. George Marathon entry ?

From Tom on Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 15:39:22 from 137.65.56.16

Cal we were hoping that might be the case since they used to require you to show them a SG utility bill to qualify as a resident. However just last year they changed it so you have show a driver's license with a SG address. This ticks me off since we pay bills and property taxes (2nd homes pay double tax compared to primary residence!). We are actually considering putting our SG address on our DL, I know other runners who have done this just to get that guarantee into SGM.

Tom, nice workout, two a day kid, hum, interesting about STG, Calvin is right, what the non-resident prorperty taxes, but no break into STG. Likely see you and Kim down at painters, we are doing the half.
