Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
2.90	13.10	16.00

Great weather for running again. 61 at our house and 56 in Snoqualmie when the run started at 6:40 or so.

Today was my speed day this week instead of the usual Wednesday. Forecasts called for rain showers this morning but they didn't show up. Very happy about that as I went without a hat to keep from holding heat on my head. I have to wear glasses and they really get nasty when it rains on them. That's why I usually wear a hat if it's going to be raining.

1.5 mile warmup easy. Then a quick stretch to loosen up a bit and I was off. Was surprised that the 8 minute pace was as easy as it was. Had to slow down several times. Light wind the first 4 miles which wasn't too bad. Took on fluids at 2.35(water), 4.6(accelerade), 8(Accelerade), 10(acc).

At 6.25 miles in was running by Bishop Kinghorns house and didn't feel right just waving as he and Deeno were out getting some work done. Stopped for about 2 minutes to chat and was off again.

HR was hanging around 150 most of the run which I was very happy about. It used to be if I ran any distance at 10:00 minute pace that's where it would be. Nice to see some improvement! The last 1 mile kicked it up to tempo pace(at least tempo effort). Can I hold that pace for 26 miles? Great question- We shall see in about 4 weeks.

Now to get those ribs smoked! Spare ribs tonight as a reward :-)

Teena,

You eat 8 minute pace like it's breakfast! Hope you are feeling better and will be able to kick it up a notch soon. Not easy easy but reasonably easy. What's your best marathon time? I'm going with a friend and Sean Sundwall's sister and her friend and we are going to try to hit 3:30 for the Newport Oregon marathon.

Teena,

I ran the TOU marathon in Logan in Sept. and clocked a very slow 3:55 so not sure where you are getting your #'s that I'm faster than you are....Everything I've seen from you is waaaaaaaay faster than me. Just gonna do my best and hope to be close to the girls at the end. Course they are a bit younger so who knows. Our Bishop and first counselor are coming too so should be a good ol' time.

Mmmm... Ribs. Nice work too. I'd have to run that distance at a 10 minute pace.

From Teena on Mon, May 04, 2009 at 10:38:17 from 67.177.20.13

You will do AWESOME!!! You're TOU time will be history!!

Sounds like you'll have a fun group there!! That makes races that much more fun.

Monte,

Is pork even allowed over there? The ribs were not as good as Monday's were but pretty close. I porked out and was OK with it as I also had beans and slaw to healthen(just made up that word) it up a bit.
