Beautiful day. 45 degrees. Ran to the school with 1 mile out and back on Natzches. It really felt good and I didn't feel like I was running anywhere near as fast as my splits said I was. The last 4 miles were pretty rough-lots of uphill and running into 14 mph winds. Delighted with my time. Started a new book "Run for your Life" by James Patterson.
My average pace was 9:51 which is the fastest I've run in a really long time. Very exciting! |

| | 6 miles on the treadmill at Lifetime. Miles 1-3 were a slower warmup. Mile 4 at a 10min pace. Miles 5 and 6 I ran at a 8:30 pace for .25 miles and then a slower (11.5 mph) pace for .25 miles. |

| | Ran with Jason after he did a 60 mile bike ride. It was warm and windy and I didn't hydrate very well before leaving. Averaged a 10:42 mph pace |

Get in Gear half marathon (13.1 Miles) 02:16:42 | | Cold and rainy! 40 degrees at start of race. Way too many runners on the course so my goal was out the window within the first 4 miles. It didn't thin out until about mile 5 when the 10k runners left the course to head back to the finish. More hilly than I thought. Wouldn't do this race again if trying to get a PR. Organization was ok but they just had too many runners to support the location. Gear check was a nightmare. |
