Saturday Morning Run


I had the last of my "easy week" runs today, I just had 4 x 8 mile runs on the schedule, I was supposed to do them at an 8:10 pace, but, I had problems keeping it that slow, so, they mostly were around 7:45. Today I ran out on the country roads behind my neighborhood, nice and flat. I finished off with a 7:42 pace. Of course, Sam and Cheney were sleeping the whole time, no support there.


For anyone that is reading this while living in Nebraska or Kansas, it was 63 degrees with a nice breeze during my run. I started off with a long sleeve shirt on, but had to take it off about mile 5, it was just to warm and sunny to keep it on. It felt great. How is the snow?


Next week I start back up with the speed work and long distance run, should be fun.

You suck...I did go to Tampa on Sunday for four days. Started sunny then started to rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. Since it was 70+ degrees, I didn't care about the rain. Saw an aligator though. He was "THIS" big (imagine arms stretched out here).

Too bad your dogs won't keep you company. They are beautiful. And your weather is obviously a lot warmer than here (31 today @ 2:30 PM). We had a ton of rain earlier this week though that melted the last of the snow but wreaked havoc on the garden beds, etc. It was enough to cause lots of topsoil runoff even though the ground had been frozen. I will have some work to do in the Spirng. Glad the runs were good!
