myself to quit after 6 miles.

suppose to be 4.93 but I missed a few turns. Ran the

few turns. I ran this race last year in 54 minutes and believe
I may run around 42:50 Saturday.

Incline 8:34 Pace. Ran two runs today. 4 miles and 3.5 miles.
Wednesday: 5.25 Miles / 3 mile trail
course 7:58 Pace and PR / 2.25 easy cool down treadmill. Ran
the trail course to test out my new Asic Dirt Dogz trail shoes.
The shoes are light and felt really good. I ran without the spikes
and they force me to stay on my toes which helps me to keep the pace
up. The heel does not have much traction and caused me to fall
on one downhill.

Had Zero energy and could not go any farther. Felt ok after
dinner but it was to late to run. I will probably take
tomorrow off in preparation for Saturdays trail race.

and decided to just complete a 5k and quit. I wanted to see
