I think I'm getting there. Yesterday I ran 7 miles with two of them "fast". Those two miles were the fastest two miles I have ever logged at 5:48 & 5:39. Today's run was good and as I ran I continued to up the pace until I ran a 6:55 on my 20th mile. (Overall pace 7:43)

I think I've snapped out of my funk so now it's time to just run!

Ran big loop, smallville and some extra to get 13. No real plan, just ran. Hands and feet stayed warm, face was cold!

Just a slow steady state run. I ran an out and back around half of Big Loop, then down Birdsong Road to Lonley Road and out 20N for a mile...then back the same way. I didn't have enough water so I started to get dehydrated at about mile 12. My HR started to rise a little and my effort increasedbut it wasn't too bad. It's good I could feel the effect coming on and then the result. (Note to self: I have to drink plenty of water or I it will be the detriment to my race.)

73.5 miles for the month...I think this is a first...but only by a little. :-)

No running today. Today I produced my first 5K race (Grace Race - Lockhart, Tx). We had about 60-70 runners.

Slow Joe and DerHammer both came and ran, they took 1st and 2nd! I was so proud of them. :-)

I feel like the race went well but I do have a few things I will improve on next year!
