I started out running out to GU Corner and then down into the river bottoms and then I headed back towards the house, the plan was to hook up with my brother Curtis and then run back towards GU corner to get the 18 miles in. So I picked him just as he was coming past Mt. Loafer school and then we ran together for about 4 miles, after dropping him off just before GU corner I hit some sub 8:15 miles on the way back. My average pace for the day was 8:42 and my total time was 2:38:16, I didn't wear my HR monitor again so now info on that...  The pace felt pretty good being I had tired legs and it was getting towards the end, I felt pretty good for the most part. I will be heading down to Disneyland Monday so I hope to get in some running most every day. I probably won't run on Monday cuz that will be a travel day and I don't know about Saturday cuz that will be a travel day to, so I will have to see. I have a good week of training and I am happy with where I'm at.

See ya Monday, maybe.
