Back home so things getting back to normal. Nice weather this morning for running :) Angel met me about half way on her bike and had some wonderful water! You have to love that! 

My friend Cassie is hounding me (in a good way) to run some 5K's... like 4 in the next 3 weeks... not gonna do them all,  but maybe 2.

I think I will start calling my Tuesday's - Temp Tuesday's. Okay, not very creative. That being said had a wonderful tempo run today. I laugh at myself because I never really know what my 'fast miles' are. Sometimes if I am not racing I think everything is 'slow'. I warmed up at my normal base pace for 15 minutes, sped up for the next 15, and the 20 after that was a little faster than my goal marathon pace... I slowed for a bit, but since I had energy to spare I ran the last mile+ around my 10K pace.

I read to much me thinks. There are so many books and articles that say do this or that. So far the advice on these blogs and website have helped more than anything before so I believe I will stick to that!

What a long day... I ran extra early today since I needed to be at work early. It was a nice soild run though :) Had to terminate someone, that is never fun :/

After that was much training of others at work and then I was teaching our youth at church tonight. So all in all a productive day, but a bit tiring.  Off to read some more (Once a Runner) and then to bed!

Some days you have it and some days you don't... today I did not have it. I was tired waking up... used the dreaded snooze button. I felt like I had to drag myself out of bed, downstairs and finally out to the road. Today I had to gut out these miles...

I was so tired today that I thought an evening 3 miler would be good for me. It was :)

Good fresh morning, run felt very good, I think those pm miles help. I am still debating on a race (5K) tomorrow or piling on a much longer run. I know I can run post race as well. I guess I will see how work goes.

PM: 4 Mile bike ride

Started off nice and strong today and a light rain started about 4 miles in. I enjoyed running in the rain - it was on and off until about 10 miles and then it was a steady light rain until mile 16 and it stopped. I felt pretty good, but the steeper hills at mile 17 were a gut check. Good run today for me (8:31/mile - BQ goal is 7:38), although I am fatigued somewhat now. :)
