Wow, I started out feeling kinda winded and I couldn't find anyone to join me for my run.  I woke up feeling pretty tired from a really busy stressful work day.  I stuck with my resolve to go long today though and it paid off.  I started off really slow at about 8minute pace up Hobble creek canyon for 10 miles but I picked up the pace as I continued up the canyon and on the way back I resolved to break a 6 minute mile and I did it although not by much I pulled a 5:59 on mile 12 and followed that with a 6:55, that was it for 5's and 6's for the day but it was a good week and I feel like I am pulling speed back out.  I will by trying to put some speed back into my workouts again.   I feel great 1 week after UV Marathon.  7:36 avg pace for the run

Wow awesome run Rich! You're in incredible shape right now. I'm thinking 2:45 at SGM this year sounds good.
