It was suppose to be a nice easy run . . .
but as I hit the trail a girl was crusing on past at what looked like a good pace and I decided to match it. I stayed far enough back as to not be a stocker, and a mile later realized she was doing an 8:00 pace. I thought we were going faster then I normally do.
A half mile later she went one way and I went another. I took the opportunity to slow just a bit. Second mile was 8:31. Slowed a bit more and did 8:43 third mile. Then picked it back up a bit to 8:29, 8:26, and 8:34.
In all my 10k time was 52:24. That a PB for now. Next goal is to get it under 52 minutes. I did get a MHR of 191 bpm at the very end. Overall my AHR was 176 bpm so I should have a bit more. I could have eaten better that morning as well, but I wasn't going for any kind of speed run when I started out.

Hey wow, we got a spammer on our blog. John, you wanna take care of that or do we have delete privileges as well?
My only news to post is a quick and easy 3-mile run on Saturday in the snow (like 20 deg outside). I did it in 24:24 with pretty even splits. 8:00 for the first mile downhill with the wind and then 8:12 on the frozen trails pushing it a bit but not too much and then 8:12 going about as hard as was reasonable uphill into the wind (I hate that last mile, but at least it makes me work to finish strong). That's it for now. Hopefully I'll get in another one in the next couple of days.
By the way, if either of you want to come on out for the Mackinac Island half marathon in late October we'd love to have you. I will be doing it this year.
Love, Mike and Nat
