The Weekend Update

It was the the best weekend of working out I've had in a long time....maybe a year.  Here's the rundown:

Thursday - tempo (i.e. marathon pace) run 

Friday - 20 miles on bike

Saturday - 1 mile in the pool, 8 on the road easy (outside and awesome)

Sunday - 12 on the tmill @ ~7:30 with a couple fast finish miles at 6:50

Felt great; felt strong.  Hope things are progressing for you too.

The big takeaway this weekend:

Keep the easy days easy.  Friday's low impact set things up.  Saturday brought back all of the enjoyment.  I was reminding myself the whole run to hold back and not let the pace creep into the sub 8 range.  

Other important items:

Mark Wright - two things:

- Comet says the two of you made a contact who lives in Boulder and has knowledge of the course....says he's going to put me in touch with said contact. True or not?

- I need to speak with you personally about Dave's trip to Boston last weekend...

- Can you get me into the Delta SkyMiles lounge too?

Mark Who? - 

- Alive? 

- Why are the students in Birmingham in Panama or Costa Rica or wherever they are right now?
