Noon long run mostly on Kuhni road including 7 mile tempo in the middle at marathon pace (around 7s). Originally thought of doing 8 miles at MP but I couldn't seem to get in the groove today. Also the wind picked up on the way back making the last couple fast miles kind of miserable.  Ended up freezing my fanny off my the end of the run. The ll-miler I did last week at around the same pace felt much nicer than the 7-miler today. Oh well I guess you take the bad with good.

Ave pace 6:57 for the MP miles.

What is your run on Saturday?

John I'm not 100% sure but I think we'll be joining the regular SF running gang in the morning at 6am at the Stake Center (same one where you met that one Monday for speed work). With my faster tempo run today I'll be taking it pretty easy, probably in the 8-10 min/mi. range. Speaking of "8-10" that's also probably the distance in miles I'm planning on doing as well.

I'll follow up later tonight if the plans change. It might be that I do a short run in the morning then another run in the afternoon with Kim, OR just do an afternoon run with Kim.
