Took my usual 10-mile route up Maple Grove. Kept it at a comfortable pace. There seemed to be a lot of garbage trucks out. Gotta love that stinky puff of wind as they drive past you.

Today is my daughter's birthday, so I need to get ready for a fun-filled day of bowling, swimming pinata smashing.

I was really tired this morning. That's the good thing about running with another person. If it had been just me, I would have turned off the alarm and rolled over. But I was glad once I got out there. Then afterward I crashed for an hour or so. That felt really, really good.

Pace: 7:52

Had a little trouble with the snooze alarm this morning. I checked the clock and it was almost 6:30 so I decided that since I had an appointment this morning, I would just turn off the alarm and skip running today. About ten minutes later the guilt set in and I took off on a shorter run than planned. But I kept the pace up and it turned out to be a good workout.

 I spent most of yesterday shoveling dirt for a little landscaping project in my backyard. So I thought a nice easy (slow) run would be a good idea this morning. Randy had other plans. It was good to push myself to keep up. Now I'm kind of tired.

Today is the day of my daughter's baptism, so with family over and everything I wasn't feeling like I had time to run. But since I also felt this irrational obsession with finishing the week over 40 miles I decided to do a short run really fast (fast for me).

I ran 5k in 22:30 which is better than all but my two most recent races. I just looped around an unfinished portion of my subdivision a few times. Just a lot of flat, empty roads. I really should do this more often. I've mostly just worried about mileage up to now. I'm feeling like I want to do more speed work in the future.
