One rec center pass- $5.50,  one Starbucks grande coffee-$2.00, Bruce Springsteen on the radio- free,   Knowing your in good shape;  priceless...

10 mile treadmill progression run with first 5 miles steady in 31:11 and then a 5 mile tempo at 1% incline in 26:31.  

Needed to unwind a little today:)   Now its time to finish the job by pigging out on some Cafe Rio while watching re-runs of NCIS.

That's a really nice workout Steve, and I appreciate to comment you made regarding my workout yesterday. Tapering is a tricky thing, but I think we can "over-think" it. In the last couple weeks, your workouts should be about confidence building.Also, you can't gain much fitness in the last two or three weeks, but you can loose fitness I think. I also hate having to control my diet when tapering. I can easily gain 3 pounds in one week with reduced training.I'm going to do one more 20 miler tomorrow and then begin my taper for Utah Valley.

But you have to feel great about that workout.Congratulations.

Thanks Rob, I went back and re-read that and was a bit concerned that it may have sounded a little arrogant to some people. However yes, I was extremely pleased as I haven't run that well in a while. It's hard for me to be consistent with my crazy work/sleep schedule.
