My best run of the year so far as I was dragging to do this second run Amir offered to pace me on his bike for 4 easy miles around the nighborehood. We talked the whole way about school video games future trips and random stuff. I did not feel any of these 4 miles it went by so fast. I had my debit card hidden in my running shorts so I decided to buy him a treat from the gas station. I need to have more of these runs

1 mile easy and then 9 at marathon pace or I should say about 30 second faster. The wind was behind my back the whole way so I kind of felt good so we let it go. not a very disipline move but it was fun to feel fast. I averaged 7:00 min per mile. I hope to not suffer during the long run tomorrow. Some improvement on pacing but still need work I caught myselfe doing 5:44 pace.Not good This would kill me during a marathon. I ran this workout at highway 150 route. I saw a bob ca t during my first mile so I stoped and called my wife Beth I coulding wait lol. Beth and kids picked me up by highway 71 to go Amir soccer game. He played awesome.

PM:

4 extra easy we took the dogs with us the first 1.5 miles the weather is fantastic
