Another quck six at lunch w/ Darin. This is the first back-to-back run days I've had in a while. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about it. So, like usual Darin and I decided to run it nice and easy. And like usual, that didn't happen. :-) (the weather was too nice!)

That's gotta count as a tempo run at that speed. Are your legs feeling completely recovered. My calfs still aren't quite there.

Smooth - I forgot to mention that I left Darin at mile 4. He did constant 7:20s...I just felt too good to not run faster. I wore the Speedstars they definitely make me want to be speedier!

Rhett - Yes, I guess this was a tempo run..just a little slower than I would probably run a 10K race. I need to be careful not to put too many speed workouts back to back. 3:15 at UVM!

From Smooth on Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 23:21:36 from 174.23.172.155

3:15! AWESOME! There're a ton of downhill and may be tailwind coming out of the canyon. Practice some "decline" running and you can just let her loose at UVM! WooHoo!!!

From Teena Marie on Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 23:35:51 from 174.52.45.85

You're so stinkin' fast!!! :)

From Maynard on Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 23:40:21 from 71.213.42.198

When Teena says "You're so stinkin' fast!!!" it must be true. Nice run Marc!
