10.36 miles  1:37:04  9:22 ave.  1 mile barefoot on pavement.  Could have easily added more, so I will next time.  Nice easy, relaxing run after yesterday's pounder.  Beautiful morning run.  I could use a month of weekend mornings.

13.42 slow easy miles.  Started the run at 6:40am.  Very very cool, in fact, the first mile I would describe as cold.  What a feeling!!  Had no desire to run hard, just nice and easy.  I ran behind the Capitol and along 11th avenue.  On East Bonneville Blvd. a four point buck crossed the road right in front of me.  Wow.  I've seen dear down this low in the winter, and it's always does and fawns, never a buck and never in summer.  What a treat.

12 miles on the track.  Ran a 10 mile progression with a 2 mile barefoot cool down.  Beautiful late summer morning.  Enjoyed every second of it, don't have too many of these left.

10 miles 1:22:04  8:12 average.  Splits 8:46  8:34  8:36  8:32  8:31 8:23  8:11  7:57  7:43  6:51

Not too bad considering I just finished a 90 mile week, my highest mileage week to date.  My body seems to be handling it well.

Had to get to 80 miles for the week.  Did a quick out and back from home.  Thought I'd be able to get in 10 to 13 today.  No such luck.  Busy, productive, fun day!

6r miles on the track.  Forgot my running gear so I just ran 6 slow miles on the track barefoot.  felt great.  The barefoot running seem s to get rid of a lot of little aches and pains in the lower legs.

This race was a lot of fun.  I wish there were more midnight races.   Very well organized, looking forward to doing it next year.  The first mile is a steep uphill, the rest downhill.  I don't think the miles were marked on the course but it didn't matter.  I don't really do any pacing for a 5K, it's just hammer down the whole time.

20 miles, out and back from home, flat route.  Planned on a 10 mile easy recovery run since I raced a 5K Friday night.  Once I set out I figured I'd maybe run two full hours slow which would have given me about 13 to 14 miles.  I was feeling pretty good and did the first 5 in 42:53 which was an 8:35 pace.  I planned on going at least a mile or two more, and then something rather surprising happened.  

The next part of this run is at least a half mile from the first 5, which I have marked, to the Legacy Highway bike path, which is marked.  I'm starting to feel even better now that I'm 5.5 miles into my run.  The next mile I go 7:58, then 8:00 and I don't feel like turning back, I want to stretch this into about a 16 miler.  Next mile 7:58 and no way to I want to turn back, I'm starting to get a nice little runners' high going.  Now I can't hold back, feeling light and strong.  I'm ready to turn this into a 20 miler.   I go 7:33 and I'm higher than a kite.  I know I can hold this pace coming back and I'm very excited to do so.  I've never done a 20 mile training run this fast.  I don't know where the strength is coming from.  Maybe all this hills and 90 degree days are starting to pay off on this relatively cool Sunday morning.  Next mile, 7:37, still higher than a kite and headed back.

 

Wow, 7:20, what am I doing?  My marathon pace is 7:56, am I in over my head on this run?  ... Sure doesn't feel like it.  7:26 and  7:19 follow.  I'm back to my half mile gap where I start the five miles home.  Each individual mile is not marked so I'm not able to check my pace but I'm still confident I can hold it.  I figure I need to be back home in about 37-38 minutes to hold at least 7:30 pace so I start pouring it on.  Holding this pace on a 20 mile run would be incredible for me.  Feeling great but having to work hard, it feels like I'm hanging on.  I finish the last 5 in 35:40, a 7:08 pace.  I'm feel like I'm on top of the world.  What a run!  

Great day to be alive.  I don't know who to thank, but I feel like a need to thank someone?  I cherish everyday on this planet.
