My upper hamstrings were quite tight this morning from the race on Sat., but they loosened up after the first mile.  The legs felt pretty good after that.  I just ran the normal Little Valley loop.

Yesterday they had the stake come back to the building for a 5 pm realignment of our wards.  They split our ward down the middle so that now it's just the Springs development.  The Lawrences were moved into the new ward so they called Bro. Clayton as the 2nd counselor.  We lost our Young Men's pres. and Relief Society pres.  It will be a change for the better I'm sure due to the size of our ward.  More opportunities for service for all.

Legs felt pretty good for the most part.  I went a little faster today so that Stephanie could meet up with Elayna to run.  I did the out and back towards Fort Pierce.

I ran 2.1 miles at 7:49 pace at about 4:30 pm before I was supposed to meet Dace at the track to do some speed stuff.  I came home and grilled some steaks before heading to the track.  I got to the track a little early so I ran 1.4 miles waiting for Dace.  We ran 8 400's with a 400 jog in between each.  So we never stopped.  Then we ran another 800 at the end to make it 8 miles for me for the day.  It was a great workout.  It's good to have someone to do the speedwork with because I hate it so much.  Dace pushes me also because he's so fast at the shorter distance stuff.  He finished just ahead of me everytime.  Actually blew me away on the last one.

For the 400's my laps were:

89 seconds

90s

88s

Just an easy 6 around the Little Valley loop this morning. It was a bit frigid out this morning. My tibia aches pretty bad in the cold weather due to my stress fracture that I suffered in the 2007 marathon. It always makes me nervous, but I think it's just due to the cold.

Dace and I were going to run this morning, but I messed up on the time so when I got to our meeting point he was already gone.  I didn't have my mp3 either so it was a long run.  I kept the pace pretty consistent between 8-8:10 other than a few fast miles mixed in.
