Today met up with our little group  we will call goldilocks and the 3 bears.  Marci, Mike, Bruce and  myself.  We decided to run a new course and we started out from the recreation center.   And ran toward green springs golf course then back down river road to 100 south and down by the college and back to the Reek center.   Marcy said we avgas 7:01 on   her Garmin. 

We ran about 9 miles.   I went into the rec center and ran 4 more miles.  Decided I needed to do some intervals so I did 3 one-mile intervals.  Each one set at 5:27 pace.  The  last mile cool down was avg 6 min pace.  Nice work out.

Rise and shout the Bermuda triangle is up.  On our quest for perfection Mike, Marci and my self set out for another adventure in the dark.   We started out slow, and then Marci started picking up the pace.  Then out of nowhere Mike would come up strong from behind and pass like a flaming dart.  I was thinking to my self that these guys were tagging off trying kill me.   Each time I would go after the lead runner.   The last team tag Marci passed Mike on the trail by web hill.   She really put the burners on and it took all my will just to hang on.    Thanks guys for a great work out.    I almost forgot  had my colesteral checked great news 178.  lowest it has been in a long time.  and HDL was 74.  I think i will go to iceberg and get a  choclate alomond shake.    

Robins birthday today.   we sang her happy birthday on the cell phone  Bermuda triangle style!

Met up with the Bermuda triangle.   Mike and Marci at the church.   Had a quick prayer told them where i put my keys and gave them rights to all my possessions.    20 miles is a long ways.     We ran very easy most of the way.   Mike smelled his wifes cookingand took off about mile 15.    Had a great time.  good coversation.    Can't reveal the rest of the work out.

Nice time for an easy run.  James, Bruce, Tom and his wife,  And the Bermuda triangle (Mike Marci and Myself. )  Mikes wife was very kind to give us a ride up to the start.  We  took on the 14 miles of the marathon course.   Marci went out hard and strong.   Then i decided to pick it up.   Finally cought up with her.   Dustin took off.   Stayed with him for about a mile.  He started to leave me like a smelly rag.   Finished the run with a 1 mile warm down before the finish line with Dustin.

Nine easy miles this morning with the Bermuda Triangle. Mike was hanging back like a guardian Angel until he took off down by the river.  Marci and I just eased along.   Then Marci said let us real in that fallen Angel inn.   Ended up running 7:05 pace avg.  That is good considering that we started out real slow.   Nice work out guys.

Decided to take a afternoon run 5 miles. then ran two more with Robin tonight

Ran the swiss day 5 k. one of my annual traditions.   new course this year and a new PR for the 5 k.     fairly flat course.  was just a little long.  As always race is one the best organized races in Saint George.    Clyde and Dave yelled at me and told me to take it easy and not go out and save it for next week.    I decided to take there advice.   I just tried to run an even race with no surges.   Ran with Erica Shram the lase 1.5 miles.   She is a great runner.  I met with April yesterday. I am still a littel sore.   This next week will be about just relaxing.  running easy miles.  Ran 3 miles with Marci and Kendrick  before the race,  Ran 4 more miles with Marci after the race. about 2 with Dustin after the race.   I am Feeling good about next week.  I will run 2-4 tonight with the woman I love.
