Got up earlier (whoohoo!) and got four miles in before meeting up with my friend heidi for our usually run. Legs felt trashed on the first 4 (pushed the pace a little to get all 4 in), I did squats and lunged last night and today they were feeling the effects. On the next six we took it really easy, my friend was not feeling well, so that was very nice. Signed up for the Speedster 10k on sat. So hopefully my legs feel a little better by then. Still planning on a little longer run tomorrow, even though its the day before a race but I mostly am running it to just get a good tempo in. Oh and today I had to wear a long sleee shirt, it was cold and windy. Crazy how the weather can change so fast!

Good luck on your race on Sat.! I will look forward to reading your race report, ya speed demon!

Good job waking up early to get the miles in. Though it seems hard, it's the easiest and surest way to get them done. I agree with just training through your race on Saturday, most races should just be an opportunity for a great workout.

Jamie and I will be doing the Speedster10k on saturday also. Not too excited about the out and back twice. Didn't read about the race very carefully just wanted to do a race in June.

It was a bit chilly this morning. Had to put on a long sleeved shirt as well. Wouldn't mind every morning like that without the wind.

You did a fantastic job of getting out early and getting those extra miles in.

Maybe we can get a group together and go see Twilight.

Very Nice Job! Getting up earlier is not easy to do and should be rewarded well - Not quite sure what that is. Sounds like you had a good run.
