| With soccer season starting, Saturday mornings are out for running. I volunteered to coach 7 and 8 year old boys again this fall. With the temps being so high, I had our first practice on Saturday morning, 9AM. I guess I could have run before practice, but I needed a little extra time to set up cones and figure out what I was going to teach the boys...so I put off my long run until Sunday. I met Darin and Dave at Lake Grapevine. Dave ran the first 8 with us, then left. Darin and I ran together for another 3 miles out -- then I kept going (so he finished with about 14 miles). When I finished 16, I went a different direction on the trail. At 17.5, the sun was really starting to bake me, so I went for a little dip in the lake. Very refreshing! As my feet were now wet and sandy, I decided to finish the last 2.5 miles barefoot -- which wasn't too bad on the concrete sidewalks, but some of the roads were quite uncomfortable. I finished the 20 in about 3.5 hours -- my average pace while moving (not swimming or resting) was about 9:00/mi. 26.2 is going to be tough...but after today's 20 miler, I have a little more confidence that I can finish it upright! :-) 82-92F, 5N AP: 8:59

I had such good luck with cheap, off-the-shelf shoes from Kohls last time, that I bought another pair..this time Nike Airs, Size 13, 4E (got wide so maybe my toes might not be so squished)
2 miles outside (96 degrees), then 1 more mile on the treadmill.
No watch...8ish pace | |

Yasso 800s with Darin and Jo. I managed 10 of them, with most being in the 3:10 range...I was shooting for 3:20s or better. My 4th and slowest was 3:19. Now, if I have the endurance, I should be able to rock at SGM.
About 82F, light breeze

| 3 recovery miles. Was still zapped from the Yasso 800s on Thursday. Went waterskiing with Darin and Wes to celebrate Darin's 50th bday.
