Marathon Pace/Brewfest/Josh Turner

So this morning's workout called for 6 mile at MP. This is my 3rd MP workout since I started this training program, and the first 2 did not go well. I warmed up for a half mile or so, then let it rip for 6 miles @ 6:55 per. The run went really well this morning actually, and looking back, the fact that I had the flu really hampered my 2 previous MP runs. Todays was a great workout, and I actually was a little faster than I was supposed to be some of the time. I'm having trouble knowing my speed right not, but it started to come to me near the end of the run today, so hopefully it will continue on into next weeks workouts. Cutback long run this weekend of just 8 miles on Sunday. I wasn't feeling good about my training plan the first couple weeks, thinking maybe it wasn't going to push me enough to improve me, but I am really feeling better about it now. Next week starts to get a lot tougher.

Today and tommorow are the annual Brewfest weekend here in Old Town Fort Collins. God I love summers down here.

With all of our breweries here in town and the brew pubs, this is one of the more popular events each summer. Work will probably be pretty slow today though. People either come down to get their drink on, or they avoid Old Town all together. I usually do the latter after my day is done. I remember last year, Mica and I were going to come down after I got done with work and hang out downtown, thinking it would be a cool party night. We walked into one bar, turned around and left. It gets pretty messy when people spend all day drinking like that. We went bowling instead. Lol

After I get off tonight, I will run the 3 miles with Jaz that we are trying to do everynight but Fridays, then I'm off to Greeley to see the Josh Turner concert at the Greeley Stampede. I really wanted to see Tim McGraw who is playing tomorrow night, but ponying up 90 bucks to stand in a rodeo arena is a little more than I wanted to pay, and the tickets for tonight are free. :-)

Should be a good time anyways. Plus there's a Del Taco in Greeley...
