Got up bright & early with Kim and ran with the bright moon.  Ran between 3 and 4 with Kim then she headed toward home and I finished out a 13 mile progression run. Gradually increased the speed so that I hit MP effort by about mile 7 and HMP effort the last 3 miles.  Felt good in the cool crisp temps probably around 40 degrees.

8:10/155

Early morning run in the cool air.  Ran just over 3 with Kim then the rest solo.  Wanted to get some faster miles in if I felt good, but didn't want the pressure of trying to do some specific workout. So just did some variable distance fartlek intervals, anywhere from 400m to 2K.  Ended up getting around 3.5 miles of tempo around 10K pace. Felt pretty good most of the run.

8:09/154.

Warmed up just over 3 miles with Kim then did some tempo miles in the HM to 10K pace range (ended up around 6:50 ave pace).  Then met back up with Kim for about 5 more miles.  

Wedding bells for boy #2 tomorrow. Party time!
