Nice run this evening while Lisa walked the lower loop.  I did the figure 8 super-size plus the new trail.  All miles between 8 and 8:20 pace.

Looks like evening runs for this week so I can run while the wife gets her walk/run in.  I did the figure 8 five miler, and dropped the 5th mile under 7 minutes - fine effort for me.

Another lovely evening run on the trails.  Ran the Lake Jackson loop (5 miles), then about 3/4 mile on the ravine trail until I found Lisa and then walked on in with her.  Stretched out real good on the playground before heading home for some grilled chicken salad.

North loop time trial this evening in the middle of 4.4 on the ravine trail.  Wanted to really test myself this time, so I took it out real strong on the first third.  The final third was definitely tough, but I came through with my best time in quite a while - 4:42 for the .8 mi loop.  Garmin informs me that was a 6:13 pace - that'll work on the single track twisty trail with some super sandy sections.

Just a couple miles in the neighborhood this morning to shake out the legs.  Decided to race a trail 5K tomorrow in support of a bacterial meningitis foundation - young girl that graduated from the kids' school a few years ago died last year from it - her family has started this race.  I stepped up the middle half mile to a bit slower than race pace - felt good - we'll see.

Quite satisfied with the effort this morning.  The course was pretty amazing and very hilly.  The directors are the family of a young lady that died from bacterial meningitis a couple years ago.  They hired a firm from Orlando that really did it up right - chip timing, national anthem, awards stage, nice spread of food.  Most amazingly was the fact that they convinced several property owners adjoining the host school/church to allow them to clear and mow a 10 foot wide swath through really nice areas to create a one loop 5K all trail course that had it all.  Right at 400 finishers, most of whom were the run/walker variety.

I went 6:30, 6:28, 7:02 and finished up at 20:30 for 8th overall and 1st 45-49 - that'll work.
