Nice easy 5 today.  Surprise! It was windy again today....woo hoo!  In the spirit of cutting back a bit this week I only did 5 today.  Tomorrows long run will only be 10 at the most but I plan to go to the track and do a 1 mile time trial for the upcoming corporate challenge track and field event.  I need to be able to run a mile in about 6:00 if I am going to be competative and earn some points for the team.  I have never run a mile in 6:00 so I am a little skeptical that I can do it now, I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow.

As a side note, I was watching the weather this morning after my windy run and they showed the wind speeds at various weather stations around the Las Vegas valley.  The one weather station nearest my house was showing winds in the 15-17 mph range while the rest of the stations were in the 3-7 mph range.  I guess I just live in a part of town that is a bit more open to the winds.  Interesting stuff.

Oh I wouldn't be surprised if you don't rock your mile. If you run all out for just one mile you will kill it.

Any update on Meg?

You are a great runner Jeff. With a little speed work, you will be doing a 6 min mile with no problems.

Have courage! Embrace the pain! It only lasts 6 min. Points for the team! Pride for Jeff C.! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
