Ran a nice easy 10 down the SG marathon course with my friend peg. (my husband was very nice and got up early to drive us up and drop us off) avg was about an 8 pace

Then I ran 2.5 more miles at 7:11 avg pace, with the last mile being up hill. It was really hard for me! Usually that is not hard for me to run that pace and such a short distance. So it was kinda frustrating to me. I am hoping it is just because my week is thorwn off a little by eating absurd, going to bed late and running later in the morning and probably because I have not done any form of legit speed work for a long time! I have got to get on the ball and start throwing in some strides and a tempo run each week!

7:11 is respectable, almost a marathon pace tempo, especially if it is net uphill. I find running later in the morning makes running harder for me. I think the holidays can throw us all for a loop, but you are keeping high mileage (way up! you're going to be in the 70's baby!) which is the most important thing.

You seriously kill me! You are amazing and always working to be more amazing. Nice run! Im sure once you get into the swing of the new year you will get back to normal and even better.

Great Run - I can't even dream about a 7:11 pace. You are awesome!!

Marcie, it would sure be great if bloggers lived closer together. I would certainly welcome some group tempo / speed runs. It seems several of the bloggers, you, Tom, MichelleL are at about the same level. I would certainly like to hang on to group of runners a little faster for a workout.

Anyway, good luck on your speed work.

Stay Cool, B of BS Rools out

Hey Marcie! Thanks for stopping by my blog to say hello! Looks like you had a great week. Your pace is awesome!!! I like how you have your race schedule for '08 mapped out- it gets me pumped up. You're going to have an awesome '08!
