Trying to get the pace back down on some of my runs but it's taking great effort. I'm calling 7:45 my slow marathon pace in my entries. Another month and I'll be at 7:30 for this run.

Pretty warm and very humid for this run too.

10 Miles @ 8:33 - 146 HR. One month ago I ran 4 miles @ 9:00 with the same 146 HR effort. This was an aerobic zone run without much exerted effort.

I think I'm improving. My foot was a little swolen and sore this morning but I'm hoping it settles down today. I have two doctor's appoints in two weeks, one with my primary doctor and the other with foot doctor #1. Hoping to get some answers then.

Nice day to run at 43 degrees, 70% humidity and 34 degree dewpoint! Running condition is getting better. I got winded a little on the last mile pushing the pace a little but the rest of the run felt good. I was pretty tired this morning as I went to a roping last night and got home at midnight but won 1st. against 170 teams. Recieved a nice little pay check. :-)

BTW...is anyone else having trouble dowloading images? I can't seem to do it anymore on the blog.
