1.5 to the track and then 1 in the dark on it.  Then the rest home.  Forgot to snack before hand and felt really cruddy around 2 miles in. 

oh well

ran down to the Oakhurst village and then followed the fast group.  I don't think they were not as speedy as normal, which was just fine by me today. 

6 @ some faster pace 

 

My goal for this week is 35 so I just need 14 in the next 3 days, with one of those a longer run.  Not sure if I should take one of those days off or not.  I've done 7 days in a row, which usually is a bit long for me.  None have been difficult so not sure I need a rest day.  I guess we'll see what happens.

ran at 5:30 tonight just as the sun was going down.  Half was in the light and half in the dark.  All the late night snacking last night helped me have lots of energy.  Just plugged along

9.5 @ some pace 

hit my goal for the week - :)

Got out for a really pretty good long run this morning.  It has been a long time since ive run this route.  it is my old nemesis and my old friend - My frienemy.   I need to start doing this route on my long runs to get mentally tougher.  I think the pace was decent.  I never really crashed and brned like on my last 12 miler.  Next time maybe i'll take some fluids - but it wasn't bad today.  16 next time.  3 steady weeks in a row.  I like the consistency.  

14.25 at a decent midlong run pace

ran down to catch the others at the running store this rainy night and I got there a couple minutes late.  I ran hard to catch up the whole time and never saw any one.  Ran home for a 7.2 nice med hard run.
