After 2.5 mile warmup on treadmill ran Eagleview course (4.9 miles). Nobody else showed up to run so I ran solo. The weather was a little cooler than it's been for a while and was about perfect race weather. Since I was feeling pretty good with the extra day of rest (no run on Saturday) I decided to push it a bit and see what I could do. I was very pleased I was able to improve upon my time from 2 weeks ago in running what I think is probably my fastest time for this course.

Mile split times:

1) 7:25

2) 7:41

3) 7:40

4) 6:53

4.9) 6:14 (6:47 pace)

Ave pace: 7:17 Total time: 35:53, rest time 1:47 (37:40 total time incl. stop-light rest)

Ran Lakeview course with Cory. Took it easy a bit today, averaging just over 8 min/mile pace. Made for a nice relaxing run. Probably what I need prior to Boston on Monday.

Easy run in the sun just to try to keep the legs fresh before Boston. Tried to really soak in the suns rays as it doesn't appear we'll see much sun Monday.

Just an easy 5 with the SF running crew to keep the legs awake.
