The plan was going to get up at 5:30 and run 16 w/ Darin and Dave (1 hour away). When the alarm went off, and I saw it was 32 degrees out, I decided to go back to bed, then go to church with the family.
After church, I went to the trail for a solo run. I had been feeling a little "tweak" on the right knee since before Cowtown (I think I did something playing soccer with the boys), so I wanted to take it easy today, and had no firm plan on mileage. Since I didn't bring anything to drink, I figured I'd just run 5 out and 5 back, then drink something at the trailhead, and if I felt up to it, I'd tack on a few more miles. 10 miles felt great, so I decided to call it quits and maybe do a longer mid-week run this week. The knee felt fine, a little tenderness on the left Achilles, but other than that, felt great!

800 repeats at lunch w/ Darin and Dave.
The first 2 were a little fast (3:06, 3:08), when we turned to come back into the wind, I was out of gas. (3:20, 3:30), then jogged back. The wind was gusting, but my legs were heavy today.

I got a little bit of a relief in an email today. I'm no longer pacing Big-D (the organizer decided not to use our pacers this year). No pressure now..and if I feel good, and the weather is right, it might be time to go for a BQ. |

It was another windy day. Ran solo at lunch and decided to run 800 repeats again. This time I jogged out 3 miles into the wind, then did the speed work with a nice tailwind. I know this is cheating, but it's better than not doing it at all. With a 23 MPH wind, I was barely able to run sub 8:00s into the wind.
4 x800 at about 3:08 each. Then one last 400 at 85 s.
