AM:  Met @Scott's house this morning.  Had Matt, Scott, Reed and Mike on the run.  Tough group when these guys have eye of the tiger mode in them.  I knew going into this morning that I wanted to do some leg turnover.  I don't know if I can call it tempo but I wanted to get in 2-3 miles of it during the run.  During the WU I could feel what I thought was all four adductor areas.  I know my adductor magnus is tendor but now I can tell the IIiacus is bad also.  Makes sense with everything I have done the last few weeks.  My body is just trying to overcompensate for faster paces and speeds that I am doing.  I definitely felt depleted at the 4 mile mark but decided I needed to suck it up and not wuss out.  Felt gassed after a mile slowed down for about .15 miles and the gradually picked up again.  I felt better and then heard who was Reed coming up from behind and glad he came up on me.  It forced me to mentally to get back in pace mode.  I stayed about 10 secs behind him through mile 2.  At about 2.3 the rest of the pack came flying by.  At 2.5 miles my legs were done(splits for "tempo" 5:47., 5:55, 6:22) I didn't do what I wanted to do for this part of the workout so then I made sure I stayed under 7 min pace for the rest of the run which felt a little tough.  Good run just wish I was a little stronger on this run today.  A little discouraging but build from here.  Another gorgeous morning...

Hang in there Spence and remember it is more about the effort than the actual paces. You are getting faster and stronger.

This is exactly why I won't be running with you anytime soon!! Even on a discouraging day you did great! And seriously those guys are really intimidating!!

I need to get out my anatomy book to remember what all those things are. Ha ha!! Keep at it, you're doing awesome!
