AWESOME 4 fast miles two days after a 20 miler is hardly a recovery run. I swear you don't need recovery! You're too cool for words!

40 days till UVM...keep pounding out those training miles, UVM has got a lot of down hill running.

Hey speedy. Since when are recovery runs faster than mp? I guess you're just feeling good.

From MarcE on Tue, May 04, 2010 at 22:31:33 from 204.16.82.120

Smooth - it was only 5 miles. I just wanted it to be over width. It was shirtless weather, and I forgot my sunscreen! :)

Slick - Yep, it'll be here before we know it!

Rhett - We always start out with "slow intentions", and then we loosen up and get into a rhythm and before you know it we're cruising. I even wore my slow shoes, and it didn't slow us down much. :0

So is the "gang" getting together before or after UVM?? Can't wait to everybody at the finish line!

Nice speedy run! UVM here you come!
