Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
6.25	2.00	8.25

Hot and humid this morning, but I am not complaining - I hope we get some rain out of all this. The wind was minimal when I started but picked up through out the run.

I warmed up for 2 and then met Saskia and we did 1 more warm up mile together. The plan was MP for 4-5 miles, but I knew that it was not likely unless I was running on my own.... the problems I have created for myself and I sound really finicky, I am just frustrated by the whole situation.

We hit the first two at MP 8:04, 7:44 and at that point Saskia was pretty far behind so I circled back to get her and said let's recover and then start again. We recovered for a little over a mile, up the big hill and then I said let's pick it up. We stayed about 8:20 - 8:30 for about .6 of a mile and I had enough and took off trying to see if I could get it down to MP - ended up at 8:07, just off. Recovered and headed back home.

Avg Pace 8:48

Wave Precision 12 Miles: 8.25

You've had some good runs this week! I haven't decided if I'm going to the track tonight. They changed the time/location for track this week.

"FWRunCo Tracksters- Sept 22, 6:30pm @McLean MS track. Here's the workout, Halfers- 3x800, Marathoners- 5x800. NOTE THE NEW START TIME."

Are you out of town this weekend too? Some people are doing the Rarh Brewery 5k on Saturday instead of the long run with the group. I'm not sure what I want to do.

Good run, tough running with someone when you have a specific pace you want for yourself. Nice of you.

Jeff & Dan - Thanks!!

Lindsay - I will miss track until after mydaughter is done with volleyball, so most of October. She plays every Thursday.

I need a long run, so I will be at the group run. Do you know what the plan is?
