Ran the same course as last monday from my office to home. John joined me this time and with him recovering from a marathon and me from just being tired, we were a sorry site. We managed to hold average pace. Splits: 7:47, 7:19, 7:22, 7:22, 7:24, 7:35 (7:29 ave)

Swam a mile at the lake this evening with the tri-club. I mostly goofed around and swam from rock to rock.

Ran the bloomington loop from my house with Heath and John. The wives joined us but fell far behind us. This is a hiller course than I like when running a specific pace (7:30). Heath really pushed us to stay on pace. The big hill on mile 5 was a beast and I had to run low 6's for the next half mile to catch back up to the group. Splits: 7:42, 7:21, 7:19, 7:21, 7:37, 7:03

I wanted something flat today so I ran down the river trail system. It's a slight drop following the rivers and a false flat coming back. I ran the false flat faster and it felt like a jog. I mostly focused on my form while running and that seem to speed me up. At mile 5, I closed my eyes while I ran straight into the raising morning sun and when I checked my garmin I was pushing a 6:30 pace with ease. Maybe I should run with my eyes closed more often. Mile 6 was a tough push while running up into my neighborhood. The last 2 nights I have been getting closer to 8 hours of sleep. What a difference sleep makes. 7:17 average pace. Splits: 7:21, 7:19, 7:16, 7:12, 7:08, 7:20, 7:24(last 0.4 mile)

Ran with John from snow cyn to the high school. Felt fairly easy except for our quick start. Once my heart rate settled down the run got easy. Splits: 7:11, 6:54, 7:07, 6:59, 7:23(hills), 7:05, and 7:37(last 0.2 mile) I used the last 0.2 miles as a cool down and we walked about another half mile to the school.
