Total Distance
6.10

With the exception of the unintended 9 mile adventure in Gainesville a few weeks ago, this was my longest run in probably 9 months.  Not all that much longer than my usual 5.4 mile figure 8 course, but its a step up.  All miles were under 7:50, with the fastest at 7:37, and not at all challenging - good deal. 

The weather for Saturday morning's trail 5K in Thomasville is looking acceptable - upper 60s for a low, so maybe not more than 75 by 8AM.  I will try a goal race pace mile in the middle of my run tomorrow just for giggles... 6:50 or so.

Nice pace Doug. Now of course if you just get lost on one of those days you can exceed your high mileage again!

Thomasville, GA? Good friends of ours had a daughter go to school there (Thomas University) on a soccer scholarship. Their mascot (Night Hawks) was the same as the club soccer team she played for in Palm Harbor - what are the odds?

Good Luck!
