Today I was going to do a 20 miler, but I didn't get much sleep last night. There were three cop cars across the street from are house and from 1am to 4am they were making a lot of noise, shining their huge spotlight, and racing up and down the street. We didn't know what was going on. When I did get back to see I slept in too long to prepare for the 20 miler, and would have been way late for work. I decided to do 11 miles and mix in near marathon pace miles (6:33, 6:35, 6:34, 6:35, 6:38, 6:31) . I did a loop around a portion of the city and the wind was blowing very hard which made the effort harder than I wanted. Especially since I'll run a 20 miler tomorrow. Totals 11.6 miles at a 6:43 pace in 1:18.
PM 4.5 miles at a 6:51 pace. I run by the ISU Track where the ISU track was having meets with other colleges such as University of Oregon. I ran by a few of them as they were warming up around the college. I wanted to run at a slower pace, but I had to hurry a bit because my daughter had a tournament soccer game, which I'm very proud of her because she scored the winning goal with just minutes left in the game. I ran right from work, and around the college back to my work.
