Thanks, Ennay! At least I feel as if I've done everything I could to do well, so we'll see what happens.

Great 4.5 mile run with 2 friends on a trail. Beautiful day here. Tomorrow...I am thinking of a 5-miler at lunch and then I run really easy with my 4H running club (~20 kids...YIKES they scare me)

Run like you are on fire! 5K goal 24:00 or less (PR 24:34) 10K goal 50:00 or less (PR 52:45) HM goal 1:55:00 or less (PR 2:03:02) Marathon Goal...Less than my PR (PR 4:33:23)

Ugh.That sucks. Did about 6 last night. Might fit some in tonight, then two longer runs Thursday and Friday, hopefully also yoga tomorrow. I went to yoga last week, and this was not yoga for wimps. I was sore for **days**.

Reaching 1,243 in 2008 -- one day, one week, one mile at a time.

6+ yesterday at lunch. Did an interval workout. I hit or exceeded all of my pace targets, but I did bail on the last segment. I had already been gone longer than I planned on, and running the final 1km segment would have required me turning back around away from work to be able to run it w/o crossing the highway. But the real reason I bailed was that I was just blowing up in the heat. It was 80°F, which isn't crazy hot, but pretty miserable in the mid-day sun. Still, I was pleased to run fast w/o any hamstring pain.

Globule: Nice work. Were you using a Garmin to know how far you were going? I think I might be ready to incorporate some speed every once in a while, just to beat down the boredom. We'll see.

Thanks! Yeah, I programmed that sequence into my Garmin as an "Advanced Workout". Therein lies one of the great freedoms of having a Garmin -- that workout would normally have to be done on a track or very well-marked course. During the distance intervals, the screen counts down the remaining distance. During the timed recoveries, the screen counts down the remaining time. And it starts beeping with 5 sec to go in each segment to give you a head's up. One trick I did to was switch the device to metric units for the workout. As a former track guy, I can relate to having 600m to go in an interval (in my head, I think lap-and-a-half) much easier than I can relate to 0.37 miles.

4 today, I was planning on my usual 6.2 but the sun came out and it started getting too hot for Daisy, even with a splash in the creek. I need to keep a close eye on the dogs as it warms up, they will keep going until they collapse if you let them.

5 miles for me today - run from hell. The only good part was that I didn't give up and made it to my planned distance. Tomorrow will be better!

Tempo run today, 4.4 miles total. For the 2nd time this week, I bailed out of a pretty good workout due to it being to hot. I have got to fix my schedule so that I don't keep end up doing my quality workouts in the middle of the afternoon. Missed yesterdays run due to severe thunderstorms, so I need to HTFU this weekend to keep the week going right.

Ennay - hope you feel better Crabby - well done on the consistent miles Jeff - HTFU but that's a redundant statement for a UM fan. Big grin

Easy 5 miler today but missed two workouts this week due to family stuff. I need to put in 2 10's this weekend between soccer, softball and baseball (kids keep us hopping) to keep on the 35+ bandwagon.

Ooh, intentional or not, I hate rest days!
