Went for a single 10 mile run this evening instead of running this morning. I figured it would be better to walk in the morning a few miles instead to recover from last nights mile repeats. This proved to be effective as I was surprisingly fresh by late afternoon. Follwed what my body wanted to do and ran at 6/min pace for 3 miles plus one mile at 5:38/mi. It always amazes me what just one quality speed workout does to my body neurologically. Not increased fitness per say, it's just that my body was tuned in it's form or something. 10 miles total with 4 miles at 80-85% mhr. 6 miles at 60-70% mhr.

AM-A quick 5 miles this morning due to time limits.  Total  time-32:40 with warmup. 6-6:30/mi.

PM- 6 miles with the Pachev family today. Interesting run, felt like a running cowboy trying to help Sasha keep the kids together while on the go. It was a nice change of pace though. 7-8:30/mi pace avg.

Easy 18 miles today even though I thought I should go 20! So it  got a little hairy at the end for some reason. Just tired from the crash training I suppose. In running just like in life, you can not violate principles and universal laws without consequence. So we rest and hope for the best right now. I think taking Sunday off now might not be such a bad idea. Talked with Sasha about that one for a while and after some thinking and prayer about it, I came to the conclusion that I really needed to do this. I met up with quite a few people on the trail today that I know and even a few that I did not know including Brent and Sylvia on the blog. Very nice couple. I hope to get to know them better. Ran with Demetrio for a while and discussed training. It always helps to have a veteran such as him help me with goals and such. It was nice to just chat and run. Oh yeah, I even met up with a guy who was my neighbor as a kid and who also used to run with my Dad. That was also really cool as I have always had a deep respect for Tim. So all in all a good day to run.
