4:30am - 5 miles. Once again started slow and ended a bit faster.
I have a question for anyone willing to answer..... Is it a bad idea to push the pace near the end of a run?
The reason I'm asking is because I always feel like I have something left that last mile to half mile. Just curious if finishing strong with a good kick can be detrimental to training. I haven't done any track work or speed work, so should that kind of training be totally separate from my generally slow runs? |

| Couldn't get up at 4:30 am for two consecutive mornings, so...... 5:15 am and I was on the road with no watch. I thought that I would try to gauge my run by what my body was telling me instead of the watch. It felt great, but the only problem was with the later start I had to cut my run short. Believe it or not, sometimes I consider others and wanted to make sure my wife could get in her walk before I had to leave for work. The 2.3 mile run ended with the monster hill in my neighborhood which I crushed with ease. Ha ha.... yeah right. |

I JUST REGISTERED FOR MY FIRST MARATHON!

Snuck away from the desk at 11:30 for a 4.1 miler in 30:05. The sun and humidity were impressive.
I'm going to try for some more mileage tonight..... we'll see. |

| 2 miles in 14:13. Damn it's hot out. 90' degrees with 2000% Humidity. I should have gotten up earlier this morning. I get the Father's Day pass though. My wife asked if I would rather go out for breakfast or use that money for running gear. Hmmmm....... who needs breakfast anyways? |

4.2 miles in 31:16. The alarm was set for 4:15 this morning. I put it across the bedroom so I had to get out of bed to shut the horrible thing off. If it weren't for the new running apparel that I received for Father's Day, I probably would have gotten back in bed. Anyways, I put on my new ultra-light/paper thin Nike Dri-fit shorts and headed out the door. Running down my street, I had to check if I remembered to put my shorts on.... felt like I was naked with these bad boys on.... awesome.
After getting into a groove and reaching the top of the first hill, I spooked a big deer and was immediately thankful to see such a beautiful animal to start my day. With a big smile on my face I continued on around the next bend in the road and scared another deer that was on the side of the road grazing on some flowers. This animal was not as swift as the first, and already being on the pavement, tried to bolt but couldn't get the traction it needed. Like myself on ice-skates, the deer flopped on its belly, regained its balance and took off into the woods. Sorry about that little lady.... next time I'll make more noise coming around the corner. I'm like a ninja when I run. |

Hot as a mofo with ridiculous humidity. Not to mention the friggin Ice Cream truck was taunting me with its music and frosty goodness. I've got to find out that guys schedule so I can run with some money next time. Damn you Ice Cream man..... damn you! |

I came home to a package from Zappos..... My Inov-8 Roclite 295's arrived! Kick ass!
My wife is working until late tonight..... not kick ass. I have been wearing these around the house though and they feel like butter! So comfortable... snug.... and roomy in all the right places. By the way, the sole reminds me of the tires on my first BMX! Bonus.
I WILL get up early tomorrow morning and give them a test on the nearest trail. |

| 6.5 miles in 49:52. I wanted to go further but the couple of miles I ran on the trails prior to this mornings run really took some life out of my legs. It's amazing how beat up my legs feel even after 3 or so miles on the trail. Maybe it has something to do with all the roots, rock, reggae I encountered in the woods! |
