It ain't Chinese algebra!

10 miles tonight in Eugene.  Slept in this morning cause sometimes I'm a slacker.

10 miles on the hotel treadmill.  I forgot to pack a beanie and my watch.  No way I'm running outside without the beanie and I had to get back in time for an early start for work.  Thus the treadmill for a second consecutive run.

12 miles around the middle school, WalMart, the HS and then home.  Rough night with sick kids and I didn't get solid sleep so it felt like I was running on fumes.  It's going to be a long day..15 more miles on these shoes and then they're retired.  Never thought I'd get 700 miles out of one pair of shoes.  That's a record for me by a long shot.

11 miles around the HS and the various hills in that neighborhood.  My right knee was feeling jacked and I'm certain it was from yesterday's shoes.  Forget about hitting 700 miles with them...they are now retired.

Family is sick.  No sleep last night while staying in Eugene and then an early conference call.  No run today.

17 miles.  9 miles for a warm up in 6:53/mile average.  Ran out past WalMart and along the frontage road that runs parallel to the freeway to Rogue River.  Stopped and stretched a bit and then returned for a 7 mile tempo.  First mile was flat (5:32) and second mile was steep uphill (5:55).  Next two miles were gradual downhill (5:32, 5:25).  By then I was back to WalMart and it was basically flat from there to my house (5:23, 5:11, 5:18).  Averaged 5:29 for 7 miles and by the end I was exhausted.  1 mile cool down followed by a large glass of chocolate milk.
