6/3
17 miles

Ran my boston route and added on to Tudor and back on Elmore extention.  My legs did feel pretty tired, but seemed to feel better after 8-9 miles.  I had another good week of training.  Hope to get some good mileage the next few weeks!

6/2
6 miles- recovery

Nice and easy to huffman and back.  Felt good.

6/1
15 miles (4am/11pm) Twilight 12K- 41:16 5th place

I ran an easy 4 miles in the morning to shake out the legs a little.  Then ran the twilight 12K at 7pm.  Great race.  One of my favorites in Alaska.

2+ mile warm-up w/ strides
12K (7.6m)- 41:16
1 mile cool down

Felt pretty good throughout the race.  1st mile was a little fast, but just tried to relax throughout the race.  I was able to pass a couple runners that took it out too fast around the 5 mile mark.  It was also a PR for me on this course.  Averaged 5:32 pace.

Kept both runs easy again today to rest up for the 12K race tomorrow night.  Legs are feeling pretty good.

5/30
12 miles (6am/6pm w/ 6x100m striders)

Both runs were recovery pace, but I threw in some striders in my afternoon run.  Legs feeling a little tired, but once they are warmed up I feel a lot better.  Couple of easy runs tomorrow too before the 12K on Friday night.

5/29
17 miles (13am/4pm)

Ran my boston prep route this morning.  A little chilly out with the wind.  I felt pretty good today.  Started at 7:15 pace and progressed down to 6:05 pace the last few miles. Good effort.

An easy 4 miles in the afternoon while I dropped my son off at wrestling practice.  Ran on the chester creek system.

Beautiful sunny morning.  Kept it easy.  Ran to Dearmoun and back.
