Nice early morning run.  Got up at 3:30 again to get this one in.  Temps were in the 52-4 range.  With a nice slight breeze.  Almost perfect running weather.  I put on gloves and long sleeve shirt.  The gloves were nice but the shirt could of been a singlet.  Todays run is tempo run.  With 2 miles warm-up 3 @ 6:45 pace and 1 mile cooldown.  Not many cars on the road today made it nice.  And it was nice having 2 miles to warm-up.  Was still trying to get on pace the first mile and then started hitting it on the 2nd coming in stronger and last I just pushed it hard.  Felt really good on that last mile.  Then relaxed on cooldown.

Mark, great run! Your looking real strong and seem ready to get this thing going. I am excited to run with you. I should say as long as I am able to keep you in sight anyway.

From Huans32 on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 08:28:56 from 138.64.2.76

Oh I am sure you will be able to keep up and stay in sight. We will make it bro. Little more tapering and we should be good to go.

Nice run Mark! You're looking good and it's almost time to get er done.

From Cal on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 11:01:30 from 66.133.117.3

Way to run there Mark.

From Huans32 on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 11:18:23 from 138.64.2.76

Tim- Yeah it was alot better. I enjoy tempo runs more then speedwork.

Jeff- 8 days to go bro.

Cal- Thanks Cal. Hoping to come in a bit after you this go around.:)

Looks like you hit your splits well once you got going.

From Jon A on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 13:05:25 from 67.214.249.195

Good run Mark, You are going to blow away 3:15. I hope I can hold on for most of it. You are so ready!

From DonGardinero on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 14:24:25 from 75.162.171.50

Nice job, Mark!!! I believe you are ready for SGM. Bring on the BQ!!!

From Smooth on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 15:50:24 from 97.117.81.161

I like tempo more than speedwork too. YOU DID AWESOME on today's tempo. Hitting your pace progressively faster. You're SO READY! Can you taste that BQ? 9 days! WooHoo!

From timp on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 15:55:47 from 129.188.33.25

Funny - I dread both tempo AND speedwork... :)

From Rhett on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 15:56:29 from 74.32.218.117

I can't wait until I can do tempo work and speed work again!!!!!

From Huans32 on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 16:39:43 from 138.64.2.76

Rhett- Yeah or at least close.

Jon- WE will get there man. One mile at a time.

Dale- I sure hope I am ready. Come on BQ.

Smooth- I will be hoping to taste it around mile 25-6. Not till then.

Tim- Well out of all 3 I enjoy the long runs much more. And would easily trade a speed workout for a long run any day.

Rhett- Oh you will be there soon enough man. Your looking like your well on your way back and strong too.
