Good morning BT.

This morning an 8-mile run. 

I picked up the pace to 10-15 sec/mile faster than what I usually do.  I held the pace pretty solid for 5-1/2 miles then I started to fatigue.  Not bad.  I remember when I have been coming back to running after periods of dormancy and fading at 2-3 miles (at slower paces that what I was nailing this morning).  It was 45 deg F this morning and it is days like this that I hit my fastest runs of the year.   Before I will be ready to race I will have plenty of runs in the 90's and possibly even over 100.

Tonight is week 3 day 1 of the McAlester Youth Running Club so I will get in a few more miles with the kids this evening.  I brought my swimsuit to work with me but figure there is about zero chance of breaking away at lunch for a swim today. 

Have a great day.
