Easy run just before noon over to 7 Peaks via the hilly route. Caught a few glimpses of the sun so that was nice for a change. Legs a little tired from the 17 mile triple-whammy runs yesterday but not too bad. Kept the pace conservative just to be on the safe side. Average pace: 8:40.

Tom, your miles are looking awesome this week, Good job!!

Tom, thanks for the comments, my mileage will soon drop some. As I have several hard workout type winter races coming up, concerntrate more on hard speed. I missed by tempo run this week, need to never miss that run. Your improvement seems to have a direct correlation to the hard tempos you have been doing over the last few months. Mike also seems to be improving greatly with these runs. There is a lesson here for the blogger trying to improve. Sasha science could really help here in the explanation. Hope you meet your goals saturday, no goals for me, just run hard.

Stay Cool, B of BS Rools out
