First long run over 10 miles.  Perfect running weather.  Started out slow, and then reall picked it up over the last few miles.  Here are the splits: 8:47, 8:26, 8:07, 7:57, 8:02, 7:53, 7:49, 7:49, 7:46, 7:30, 6:55, 7:00, 6:44, 6:54 (pace for final 1/2 mile).

1 1/2 mile warm up, then 4 x 2,000 meters with 2 minutes rest in between each one, followed by 1 1/2 miles back to base.  Slits for the 2,000s was 8:01, 7:37, 7:57, and 7:59.  So nothing to get too excited about, but solid stuff nonetheless.

3.5 mile warm up then 4 mile tempo run.  However, my legs weren't feeling 100% so could only manage 7:01 pace for that 4 mile stretch.

Ran the last 16 miles of the San Antonio Marathon with a buddy.  Average pace was between 8:15 and 8:20.   Almost perfect conditions...only downside was that it was a little windy at times.  However, soooooooo much better than last year ;o).

16 miles this morning.  Plenty of hills, but plenty of downhill too.  Would have liked to have done the last couple of miles a it faster with my friend who I ran with, but it just wasn't there.  Maybe next time ;o).
