It was 42 degrees but a bit windy this morning.  I did my nice, slow, long Tuesday run around the entire city this morning.  I just took my time as I have been pushing pretty hard the last couple of weeks.  Total 20.73 miles.

It was 33 degrees this morning.  I ran 3 miles before our group run.  Today we did strides for 30 seconds after we had warmed up.  Chad and I did 5 strides of 30 seconds at sub-5:00 pace.  The rest of the group did 4-5 or the new runners pushed their walk break deeper in to their run today.  Everyone did great.  Then I ran 3.5 miles with Chad and Lowell before finishing on my own.  Total 12.27 miles.

It was 33 degrees with some winds, but a pretty nice morning.  I ran 15.40 miles and really had trouble getting my pace up.....I just felt slow today.  My shins are a bit tender so I will need to keep an eye on them.

It was 50 degrees and drizzling off and on this morning.  Very Humid.  I ran over to Barry's house and we ran the 4.1 miles down to the race start.  I decided a couple days ago that I wanted to run this 10K with Kory so I found him at the start.

We started out nice and slow and picked up the pace a bit every mile.  Once Kory got warmed-up his form went from an uneven stride favoring his leg to his old, smooth stride.  By the time we were running up 2nd Ave on the last mile and a half he was looking great.....and pulling away from me!  Our splits were 7:45, 7:38, 7:20, 7:23 (uphill), 6:41, and 6:43.  He beat me by 10 seconds over the last .7 miles and was looking good doing it.  I could tell he was enjoying it as well and that was awesome.  It is good to see him run again.

We talked to a few people for a few minutes and got a drink and then I ran 3 miles with him back to his car.  Then I ran the rest of the way home with an extra loop just so I could break 100 again this week.
