Game Farm Park. Morning turned out to be quite nice for a long run. Rain is suppost to come later this eve I believe. Lisa was able to run with me this morning at 8 a.m. It was so so nice to have someone to run with me on a Sunday when I usually shoot for my long runs. She really helped motivate me and helped pass the time. We were both kinda tired but pushed hard. There were guys out playing football games this morning. People were walking and older guy on bike I usually see. Lisa ran the first 5 miles with me then took off. THANKS LISA FOR THE SUPPORT! I ran the last 1.5 miles solo but made it not so bad. But when I hit that last 1/2 mile I could feel my legs wanting to stop soon. Definetly good trainning work out as I am still shooting for a marathon. I just haven't decided which one yet, in July or wait until Oct is my delimma...?

Wow! Look at you! See, you dominate, totally can do the full in July! :-) And look, you felt tired but look at those two last split times, in the 8s! Pretty awesome!

PS - In terms of the training schedule, if you just keep increasing by 1 mile each week (next week, 8.5, next 9.5), the 5th week has a taper week, so that week you'll just increase a mile again instead of decreasing, and then you'll be 100% on track!
