Ran with Steve and Bill. The run was pretty good. Some dirt trail and the rest on the streets of STG. I feel ok just don’t have the kick from last week. Instead of running and feeling loose and ready I feel more like I'm laboring just to stay with the pack. Steve really looks like a different runner. Both on our Saturday run, and last night he looks strong. Maybe we all should go sledding and quench our thirst with some MaGiC JuIcE.

you did just fine. not every day can be an energy day. when I run more miles, I really have to make sure I am eating enough. lots of protien, fruit, veg, and lots of fluids. you mentioned you had lost some weight. I have to tell myself to eat the right stuff.

163 lbs after the run on Tuesday.

Hey 163 is great. I'm still not dropping the wieght like I want. Are you eating any different?

If you would of held your surge for 10 more sec. I would have been toast. I was totally running

Clyde:

All three of you are picking up the mileage from the level at which any mileage increase gives improvement. Therefore, all three should be improving. However, it is going to happen at a different rate. So while you could drop Steve quite easily a week ago, this week it may not be so easy. This is most likely not because you are running any worse, in fact you may have actually gotten stronger. However he may have gotten stronger even more, and caught up to your fitness level. For a correct measure of fitness you should have a challening workout on a fixed course that you do every two weeks or so, and watch your times hopefully improve.
