Arrived for our morning run about 20 minutes early, so I ran 2 warmup miles around our facility.

8:13, 8:00

Ran mile repeats w/ Eric at 7:15. We were planning to run them all at about 7:00/mi.

6:18, 6:51,6:40,7:18

84 degrees, 5 MPH S breeze. Not too bad.

Jogged an easy 3 miles w/ Eric and Jo, then did some hill sprints (on grass). At first it seemed like my HR wasn't getting up very high, but after each climb, it increased by 10 BPM from the time before. 110,120,130,140,150,160..by the last one I was maxed out. Good workout.

I feel I need to apologize for my lack of activity keeping up with the blogs lately. I've been swamped with work and life in general (my mother visited last weekend from Illinois). Even if I don't write much, I think of you all often, and will try to catch up when I can.

Tonight's El Scorcho. A 50K race in downtown Ft Worth that starts at midnight. I'm going to meet a friend of mine, Ty, there around 10:30. The plan for both of us is to take it pretty easy, and try to average 9:00 miles. (You know, I have a terrible track record for sticking wth anyone during a race) At least I'll know someone there..so I don't need to drag my wife there to give me moral support at 3 in the morning. 31 miles in the dark...why do I do this? :-)
