AM- It's a new morning run record!  I squeezed in 7.5 full miles before I had to jump in the shower at 5:30 am in order to catch my 5:45 vanpool to work.  4 medium miles, followed by 3.5 miles at 6:00-6:45 pace in order to get in all 7.5 miles.  Of course, now I just want breakfast and a nap...

PM- Small workout.  8.5 miles with some fast stuff- I did a descending tempo, with 5 min fast, 5 recovery, 4 fast, 4 recovery... down to 1 min.  The first tempo was 5:50 pace, second was 5:45, and I kept going faster on each one till the 1 min was 5:30 pace.  Felt real good although my legs were tired going into the workout.

Good run you early riser...we were out at the same time, I hope your morning was as nice as mine.

I will probably see you in couple of weeks for the Strider's half marathon (tune up race for Boston).

I sleep on my van, so that counts for something. Well, as good as you can sleep in a vehicle.

Sounds like you are practicing for Ragnar, sleeping on the van...

Wowser thats early, wouldnt see me about for a few hours later, not a good early riser! good on you for doing training so early.

Trust me, I would much prefer to sleep in. But given my schedule, it is the only way to get the miles in, although it is a sacrifice of sleep for miles. Shadley is the same way.

Nice running Tex! Hope you guys get some warm weather.
