Total Distance

20.00

8 miles in the morning.

12 miles in the afternoon.

I had a tough time getting up this morning. I had a weird dream last night that I was back playing basketball in high school. I didn't do so well if I remember correctly. I woke up and realized I am 5'9" and 1/4 and have about a 12 inch vertical. That is why I run I guess! It was a "steamy" 18 degrees this afternoon. I gave the team the choice to run inside or outside. Most of them chose to do half in and half out. I only had one taker to run the entire time outside with me. We kept the pace easy for the 5.5 miles. I did an ab circuit with them afterwards and then came home and did another 6.5 miles right at 6:00/mile pace overall. Paul Pilkington said that a lot of my slower runs should try and be at 6:00/mile pace. It does seem a lot easier lately. I will do 10-12 miles tomorrow and then 8 in the morning on Friday just to be ready for the race on Saturday.

Weird dream. Maybe the dream was trying to convince you that you are taller than you give yourself credit for... Did that make sense? Who cares! Great job of getting out today and keep up the good work.

It will be exciting, to see your improvment in the near future. I know from past experiences in B-Ball & Football, it's amazing how much a good coach can improve you. I think you are going to be SCARY FAST!!!
