Started out alone to do the hill course and met Kent along the way. I guess I just missed him. I felt strong at times and picked up the pace but didn't want to over do it. I noticed I am running the course alittle quicker each week. I need to be more careful about my diet for lunch. It makes a huge difference in my running performance. It was a good start to what I hope is going to be strong week.

I got up early and did some easy miles on a beautiful morning. I didn't feel the effects of a hard workout yesterday.

I came back out in the heat and did  8 more miles with Kent and feel really strong today.

I went out in the morning so I could support my daughter at region track. May seems to so busy that it becomes even more difficult to keep my running the high priority. I feel good and want to train harder but know I should build slow. I was alittle tired to get started but finished with some leg turnover repeats and strides.

I had to get out in the morning again for my only workout today but want to start doubling up my workouts. I usually don't start to do two a-days till June but I'm ahead of schedule for my mileage but behind somewhat for speed training and races to this point. I feel good  and had a good session today. 8x400  1x800 Going by marks Kent and I did with a wheel last year or 90 sec. when not marked on the road. My plan is to hit 60+ miles with my longest run of the year on Sat.

Easy miles just to stay loose. Hot but felt good to go short and easy. Want to go long tomarrow and finish a good week.

Got up early and ran to meet Kevin who ran from his house. I felt good  the first 6-7 miles then I think the long week took it's toll. I tired early and Harry's hill sucked the life out of me. From that point I struggled but was determined to finish my long run and did it alone the last few miles. I feel satisfied and ready for a day of rest.
