About 67 degrees, and fairly humid this morning.  Lots of hills, but an easy pace.  Longest run since the marathon...and I felt it hehe.

Was 1 part of a pacing team for the 1:50 group in the half marathon.  We finished in 1:49.43 which is not too shabby.

A short "long" run this morning as needed to get home early as the dog had a vet visit.  The poor pup has allergies.  However, I felt relaxed and strong for the first time in a while.I'll try to run 14-15 next weekend.

Pretty humid this morning, but a steady breeze so I actually felt cooler while I was running which is a little odd.  Anyhow, I ran 3 miles to meet up with a couple of folks for a 4 mile run, and then ran back to the house for a double digit run.  Looking to run 40+ miles this week.  Certainly off to good a start.  Today was also the furthest I have ever run in my vibram fivefingers.  My feet felt great, but I am sure my calves will hurt tomorrow ;o).

Great morning for running...well for this time of year.  I decided to empty the fuel tank on today's workout as I am sure it will be the last cool run for several months.  I needed to remind myself that I could do it.  Warm up to the track followed by 5 x 1,000s with 200m slow jog recovery.  Coach told me to go and run 1:30 laps...I thought he was joking, but thought I'd give it a whirl.  1,000 splits were 3:52, 3:44, 3:36, 3:42, 3:28...that last one hurt.  After that we did 5 x 200 metres to loosen things up followed by a long cool down.

Not a great day at the office.  Felt good at first, but should have stuck to my game plan of taking it easy.  Next week I'll listen to my brain ;o).

Started to overheat a lot so I decided to cut it short.  Pride is a little hurt, but I did the right thing and I'll live to run another day ;o).
