Ran from work out to our RC airport behind property... That was a 2.5 mile out and back. I then ran thru the neighborhood and looped around 1470 & 1550 and back to my office. I thought this route would be flat... not the case! I wanted to run a 7:30 ave pace... not the case!! Splits: 7:30, 7:21, 7:14, 7:17, 7:14(0.7 mile) pace = 7:20 ave

Ran from diamond valley to the finish with my running buddies. I started out a little faster than planned. The others raced off ahead. I caught jake by mile 7 and ran with him for the remainder. He struggled to stay with me but we then caught the others by diagonal. They were suffering from GI issues. I was tired this run, but I felt I held it steady. I did slow down a little to run with the others. Splits: 7:16, 7:04, 7:01, 7:08, 7:11, 6:58, 7:15, 7:16, 7:19, 7:27, 7:25

Easy run day... Tried to hold a 8:00 average pace. I kept speeding up! It's funny to me now what is easy. Ran during lunch so I can work on my tan. The outside temp is starting to drop. It was only 88 degrees during my run. Average pace 7:48

Ran with Craig and Jared... Splits: 8:48, 8:11, 8:11, 7:53, 7:40. First mile was uphill, Jared dropped out with GI issues after mile 3. I guess that is why craig and I sped up the last 2 miles.

Ran from dammeron valley back to home. It was dark when I started so I ran by feel until I got to Winchester. I passed a lot of runners; that was fun! I was happy with my time through Winchester with the rollers. I caught up to 3 guys running together. They sped up when I came within 50 feet of them. I decide to give them what they wanted. I sped up and we pushed hard in to st George. They finally dropped on diagonal. I was done a couple miles later. The last 2 miles were very hard to finish. I am chafed really bad, but my legs feel really good. Average pace 7:15... Good run! I just hope that is my average pace on marathon day. Splits: 7:40, 7:20, 7:11, 7:12, 7:12, 7:26, 7:16, 7:07, 7:01, 7:03, 6:56, 7:06, 7:06, 7:14, 7:23, 7:41
