Ran 6 miles today. The goal was to run the middle two miles at an 8:33 pace. The first mile and half of this run has a steep uphill which is hard to avoid around here, but afterwards I get to go downhill for a bit :). I was able to achieve the 8:33 pace on the downhill but the test was the next segment as things leveled out. I kept the pace for the next mile and half and felt very strong! I had started with a 10:20 pace in the beginning due to the hill, but when the run was complete, my overall pace was 9:15. I swam yesterday and so far I am really enjoying this training program because of the variety of training it offers. Tomorrow is a day off followed by 13 miles on Saturday at a 10:02 pace. I think that will be a challenge, but after a day of rest I'm hoping to push that pace a little.

Train hard brothers and yes, I am hoping to raise some good money for this cause and hit all my contacts hard soon. I'm not putting any limitations on the number right now. We'll see.

Have a blessed day everyone!!
