Your getting close how did those miles feel? Were you giving it your all or could you have pushed just a little harder?

Check out those low 7s and that 6:56!! You are definitely heading in the right direction.

4 am???? Are you crazy????

(You remember that you are racing Bryce Saturday, right??? Crazy fast right before a race!!!)

Good workout Mark! I was laughing reading your blog. You were trying to beat the heat and I was waiting until it got hot, lol. I love your attitude about the tempo today. Just keep doing them and get your base up. No pressure, just take what your body is willing to give. It will improve for sure!

Kathie- Hmm they felt pretty good. I was clunky and uneasy a bit for the first mile or 2 really. Hadnt ran that road in the dark. I would try to look at my splits a few times and it through me off my stride. Coming into the last mile though felt really good and alot more smooth. Could of pushed it harder and didnt look but once before I hit end of it. And felt I could of pushed it more then. At first though I was pushing and tring to find that pace.

Teena- Yeah wanted to get it in early before getting the girls tonight. So I can get in a good night rest. The last 2 times I did good on my splits but was running at 8:30pm getting to bed at 10. So hopefully this will get me more rest and ready for Sat race.:) And I am tapering. It will be tomorrow. Maybe...:)

Mike- Oh I hear you man. I am really just tring to get the miles as best I can. I use to do all these runs on a treadmill. Alot easier to find and hold those paces. But want to learn to feel them better outside and so its been rough. But I am getting there. I will get there.:) You guys have got the heat going down there.

Nice job on the tempo miles Mark! Those split times look really good and it looks like you are getting right back to your usual self.

Very nice times, Mark!!! I was just falling asleep at 4:00 am. I worked overtime last night so I didn't get home until 3:00 am.
