Sun good. Wind bad. Was hoping for a little nicer weather for my noon run today but the wind was the spoiler yet again. But the good thing was my legs felt pretty fresh so I went a little further than I had originally planned. Ran the 7 peaks hill loop route. Ave pace 8:20.

I think your ready for a good 10K.

Tom I'm not sure what your plans are for the race Saturday but our plan as of now is to meet at the start early and run the course as a warm-up and then run the race as a tempo run and then run the course again for a cool-down. I'm not sure what kind of mileage your looking for but we should end up with around 20 when it's all said and done. The race will be the only part that is fast... everything else will be very laid back.

Thanks Clyde. I don't think I'll be doing 20 but I may join you guys part of the way.
