Lots of hills, pushed hard at end to get AP down to 8:00.

Took Alex to basketball & left from FCHS, ran 2.5 miles to Sawnee Mtn Preserve, did 2 loops on Indian Seats Trail ... /\_/\ ...  that is the elevation profile .... then ran back to HS ... 10 miles total.

Only 5 kids showed up for basketball ... so I could have skipped the run & played 3v3! 

I am not big on mileage goals ... & I have taken 4 days off in the last 9  ... but I am 38 miles short of 2,000 for 2011 .... hmmm I guess that would make my magic number 13 ... as in miles I would need to run each of the next 3 days.  Probably won't do it ... then again, it would be a good last push before my 50k in 10 days.

PM - Rogers Bridge - 20:08 5k, 0.9 mile cooldown ... 6:46, 6:31, 6:15, 5:50 last tenth.

Good run today...way to push through the hills!

I'd say don't worry about the 2,000 ...but I guess if it were me, I'd go for it :-)

nice run JG!

Nice run! Yep...me too...I would have to do it! 2000 miles for the year would just feel good! ha!

I've been tossing around the idea of doing a 50k as well...sounds terrible!

Nice run - great that you could throw down a 20-min 5k in the afternoon after a tough morning 10-miler.

Getting closer ... 28 to go now ... maybe another easy 4 or 5 later today.

Joe, the 50k is more of a social long run ... although it is always hard to contain competitive juices! It is a pretty hilly, rocky trail ... so you have to throw pace out the window ... 9:00 pace would be really hard to maintain I think.
