Last night we drove to Rexburg Idaho for a Prophetic Church Conference, and we stayed at my brother-in-law's house. This morning I got a chance to run in a different place so I was kind of excited. I only wanted to do 6 or 7 miles, because I've got to start thinking about the marathon and keeping my legs fresh, and time really only permitted me to do this much. I started out with a 4 mile warm-up (7:36, 7:21, 7:04, 7:00) then I decided to do a three mile tempo to progress faster each mile. The last three miles were all flat where my brother-in-law lives on a farming community in a beautiful house. He's a sheriff here and really likes the area. Anyway, Mile 1: 6:14 very easy felt relaxed. Mile 2: 5:57 flet relaxed with nothing really different than the first mile. Mile 3: 5:38 effort was a little harder, but I didn't feel out of control or any hard breathing. Totals 7.51 miles at an overall 6:40 pace in 50.11 minutes.
