| I signed up for a 20-mile race ($10 - no shirt, no medals) Saturday morning. I needed a long run in preparation for Cowtown, anyways. And it's great having someone else provide the drinks, and have others to run with. It was an out-and-back course. The 10-15 mph wind was mostly against us on the way out. By the time we turned around, was a little more tired than I would have liked. (7:30/mi for the first half). About 8:05 / mi for the second half. As I forgot to charge my Garmin the night before (I have no splits..a rookie mistake). I have no idea where I placed (nor do I care). It was a pretty good long run. AP: 7:48 45F, N10-20mph, partly cloudy

| Ran w/ Darin at lunchtime. Decided to run 4 miles with 2 fast miles. We were thinking sub 7:00s would be good, but ended up sub 6:30s, without even knowing it. Felt great!

| Solo lunchtime run. Decided to run around Alliance Airport. I've never done it before. Not a runner friendly route. No shoulder on the roads, and lots of trucks. Spent a lot of time running on the grass. Kept it nice and comfortable. AP: 7:56 AHR: 137 50F, S5, sunny

4 solo miles at lunch. After playing capture the flag yesterday with my soccer team boys and dads, it felt good to get a few miles in.
6 days 'til Cowtown. Feeling good, and weather forecast looks good so far (45-60F.10% chance of rain--might be cloudy. Not sure about wind) Wind was 20 mph today from the S. 8:06, 8:10, 6:20, 6:25 (can you guess which miles were wind-aided?) AP: 7:19 AHR: 149 55F, cloudy, S20

| The Ft Worth Cowtown Marathon has been an annual tradition for me for the past 5 years.... I paced the 3:40 group for the 4th consecutive year, and came in 9 seconds fast. :) Details to follow as I have time (work is busy). Here's my stats!

Lunchtime Run
Easy recovery run w/ Darin. 3.4 miles.
Evening Club run (Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers)
Was late getting there, so had to catch up to the group. Started fast, slow in the middle, then finished with a 6:02 uphill last mile! (not sure why it felt so good..it was getting dark and everything was clicking. Got HR to 173 -- highest it's been in a long time)
