Al’s Run 8k in 33:38. Way better than expected. Most of team exceeded expectations. Weather certainly cooler than previous years. Big picnic up at Ryan’s crib. Great to see the gang and catch up. I trained through the week and hit about 71. Another 2 weeks of training and then about 12-13 days of taper before 50 mile. Still just slow miles. Whatever the day gives me. One note about Al’s is I went through 4 miles at 28:00 flat. As I have done in the past I just let it go. The 7:00s was about as fast as I could seem to go. Ran the last 0.97 miles in 5:38. I was blowing by people. Which is nice. However, it does make one ponder why it took so long to loosen up. I guess when one trains at 10 and 11 minute miles most of the time it is hard to achieve active flight mode.
