Total Distance
16.00

16 miles: 10 at about 6:45 pace then last 6 at marathon pace. Splits for those were 5:41, 5:43, 5:43, 5:42, 5:38, 5:40. I was going to do this run tomorrow but I won't have time tomorrow unless I got up super early so I just got it done today. Pretty happy with how I felt. Last 6 got a little tough towards the end. A couple of decent workouts this week coming off of the half marathon. My body feels healthy and that's all I can ask for.

Good week bouncing back off the half!

That HM you are running Memorial Day weekend looks like a great course. Trials eligible, I'm assuming (its gotta be close). I'll definitely be very interested in what you think of that one.

Yeah, the Mountains 2 Beach looks like a good course. It used to be called Ojai to Ocean. The competition hasn't been the best over the years but we'll see. Running with a pack really helped me in Eugene. It looks like the perfect amount of downhill though. I think it will give me a solid shot at sub 1:11 if conditions are okay.

Whoa! I just looked at the blog you and Allison have listed on the left. You ate at Pizza Research Institute! TWICE!! That place rocks. One of my favorite eateries in all of Eugene. Looks like you covered all the bases on your weekend in Oregon.

Nice workout, by the way. Very even splits, right on target.
