So I slept in a little today, see on tues and thurs I usually meet a couple girls at 5am ad then a another gal at 6am. I was up alot later than I usually am last night so I just met up with 6am friend. But dont worry I will get the rest of miles in tonight when I go with the Running Club and plan on getting around 8 miles in. (hopefully the rain will hold off til we are done). Not cold at all this morning!

avg. pace 7:58

PM went with the Running Club after work, small group today mostly cross country  runners. Decided to stay on the trail system and do an out and back since its getting dark early. So we headed out and I thought we were going to turn  and go down the SC parkway but instead we kept going straight and headed UP the trail that parallels the marathon course. Holy moly I am use to running down it but not UP it. The group took off pretty fast for myself, so I hung back with some others til I got my groove going. Felt pretty good and got in some killer hills. Went out 2.65 and then turned around and headed back. Even though my pace going up was around 8:20  on the outI am putting them in the fast category because I was pushin it on those hills. coming down  my splits were7:11, 7:12, and the last .6 was at a 6:50 pace.  Avg pace was 7:45 Perfect weather tonight! Sorry Ruth that I didnt get to run with you, I wasnt to far behind you guys and then I turned earlier than you guys did. See you on Saturday !!

I guess I shouldn't complain that the boys get up so early, when I read that you are normally out running at 5am! Good job on getting some extra sleep along with your run this morning. Have a great day!

Good job getting out today - I am jealous of sleeping in. Have a good run tonight.

Usually everyday I am up by 4:30-4:45 so 6am is definetely sleepin in (which is so sad)

Training twice a day is a great idea.

Oh you are amazing! 4:30 should be against the law in my book! I have worked nights as a nurse for 15 years to avoid that wake up call. I can handle it if I stay up passed then but if I were to do days I would have to wake up at that hour, OUCHHH! You are now my hero, borderline crazy person! But you are an awesome runner so maybe there is wisdom in the ol' early bird gets the worm thing!

Oh My! You guys are fast! BRAVO! You asked what race I'm doing this weekend- just the 5k of the Tuachan Duathlon. But it may get rained out?!

Yeah, sorry I didn't run with you either, I was trying to hurry since I had to leave soon, but that didn't work all that well. Would it be ok if my friend Amanda came with us on Sat.? She's "AmazingAmanda" on the blog!

Of course! Cheri and my friend Natalie may come too!
