Pretty good run this evening.  First 5 were with my amazing wife, at her pace.  She really is pretty good at cruising along, especially considering that she doesn't run very consistently. She trucked right through those miles.  Then I went back out for about 3 miles a bit more up tempo.  My avg pace was 8:12, everything felt pretty darn good!

Sad news . . . . Not just because of my little ITB setback, but because of some poor college student problems I won't make it to St G this year.  It kind of sucks to have to make that decision, but we can't afford to go down there and have me run an average race . . . . it sucks!  Only way it could change is with a milagro!

AM: Nice bit of tempo today, wanted the effort to be kind of hard.  Warmed up 1 @ 8:55, then the fun began.  First 2 right  @7:41, then the next 1 @7:13, next 1.25 @ 6:58, then back to 7:41 until I hit 8 miles total.  At the 8 mile mark I cooled down @ 10 min until I hit the end of my 65 min workout.

I don't know what got into me today! Two straight days of tempo, but today's was a lot easier with about 5.5 of it being down hill, still a good pace. 7:31, 7:15, 7:39, 7:22, 7:10, 7:24, 7:35, 7:26, with a slow cool down. ITB feeling strong

Felt like I should take it easy to avoid re-injury, still not completely %100

The hardest 10k course ever invented!!  It was pretty ridiculous, and was made worse by the crazy winds!  I hung on as long as I could, but kind of faded at the end after working so hard on all the hills. Warmed up with 3 miles then cooled down with 1.

First mile was 6:40 and was by far the easiest mile on the course, I trucked right through it, then the next mile was all up hill @ 7:19ish, I thought that this would be the end of the up hill but it wasn't!!  I can't remember the rest of the splits right now without my watch but it was pretty rough going.  Up hill and downhill all with a nasty wind!

Got to talk to some other bloggers that ran the race; misimona and aunker.  It is always good to chat with others!!  Anyways, I hope the Utes win the real rivalry tonight
