I met up with Travis this morning and ran some quick miles with him. He wanted to run a 6 mile tempo at a 6:30 pace. I told him that I would go 3 with him and then back off a bit so that I didn't get hurt for Saturday's race. We ran a 2 mile warm up and then started the tempo. splits mile 1 6:37 Mile 2 6:16 Mile 3 6:33 - There was a good head wind when we headed around the North side of the golf course. Plus I wanted to slow it down a bit for him because he had another 3 to go. When he turned around we were at a 6:27 ave pace. I let him go and ran behind him trying to keep him in sight. I felt really good and really wanted to run the last 3 with him but I stuck with the game plan and only ran 3 with him. Mile 4 7:02 Mile 5 6:43 Mile 6 6:29 ave pace 6:36 Finshed with 1.5 miles back to the truck.
