I ran an easy six miles with Will and Elyse around the Tidal Basin Monday evening, averaging 7:30s.

Tuesday I did a Pimmit Hills 6.3 at 6:38 pace. Tonight I am hitting the track at B-CC for three miles at 5:40.

I'm thinking back to some of the memorable runs during my summer of training and although this is more for my personal benefit than for any of you who are reading, these stick in my mind:

1. my failed long run home the day after Memorial Day

2. tempo run on the Double Pimmit on Wednesday night in late June, it was really hot

3. medium long run my last day in Reno

4. climbing and descending a mountain on the logging road behind the Cascades State Park in Giles County

5. failed long run in Cumberland

6. the tempo run at 6 am the day before Joe Wildfire's wedding

7. long run with Molz on skyline drive

Also, here's a cool photo from the 1987 Great Race in Pittsburgh, back when it was fast. Steve Taylor is in second about 1.5 miles in.
