Again the idea was to run easy at about marathon pace, to get used to the pace and to continue to recover from last weekend’s race. Mission accomplished more or less. Six miles in 54:15, splits 9:05, 9:18, 8:30, 8:48, 9:35, 8:58, average pace 9:03. A little faster than MP, but I’ll probably go with a pace team at the marathon anyway, to keep from burning out early. Those splits are weird - I really don’t think that the mile markers on the Gateway are placed very accurately.

Good run - nothing hurts. Passed my sweeties on the trail twice - it’s a masterpiece!



Recent breakfast: Irish oatmeal with organic flame raisins and dried cranberries, blueberries, Don's nut/fruit/berry mix, organic plum, nonfat organic milk, dried organic cherries, banana, organic pomegranate juice.


Today's lunch: All-organic homemade soup. You can see what's in it. Add a little pepper and salt - I had two bowls.


Recent dinner: Bison curry roast, organic parsnips, organic rutabaga, organic mixed brown rices in a marvelous curry sauce.
