Friday
Med-Long
12.01 mi, 8:29/mi, 133 bpm
This run started out in the dark of the morning with me tripping over a speed bump because I was forced off the sidewalk due to a parked car! Let me tell you that dark speed bumps without yellow paint are very hard to see before the sun rises! Anyway, luckily I was wearing tights so I only removed 1 layer of skin from my knee! I walked off the pain for about 5 minutes and then decided I could still run so off I went! The rest of the run was great, it was a perfect morning with temps in the low 50's and plenty of sun once it came up.

Sunday
Long Run
17.02 mi, 8:25/mi, 136 bpm
This run started out really great, it was a lot warmer than usual and I was very excited about that. When I left the apartment it was 72 and when I returned it was 82. I guess I am not used to the heat though becuase half way through the run I started getting extremely thirsty to the point that I was changing my route so that I could run by water fountains. Oh my, I don't know how I made it through the last few miles, I can't remember the last time I felt so dehydrated during a run...actually I do, it was the summer of 2007, running the towpath with TM and it was 90+ and very humid at about 8am.

when is your race? It seems like you are going to do great based on your training!
Thanks!!! The race is this weekend, woo hoo!!! Ran 7 yesterday with 2 miles at 'race pace', and it felt so easy!! Hope that's a good sign for the race. I don't really know what 'race pace' is going to be, I'm thinking of trying for 7:30's and see how that goes. I hit 7:20 for both miles yesterday and they felt easy, so we'll see what happens on Sunday! Good luck with the pacing at the Pig on Sunday!
