It was a nice morning (65, cloudy) for running. I started off easy and was stiff/tight. I quickly loosened up and started to feel really good. Today was one of those days where everything clicks and you feel great. It would have been a great day for a race or speed work but stuck to the plan and did my normal run. Hopefully this is a sign that the consistent training is starting to pay off. I need to get some races on the calendar so that I can get a better test of where I am at fitness wise.

Hope everyone had a great Father's day yesterday. I have been truly blessed with a great family and we had a great day just spending time together.

Gotta love it when you have one of those "on" days, your training is paying off.

Hope you had a good Dad's day too!

I love it when everything "clicks". I think you will be seeing some great races in the near future.

Jeff, Tom,

Thanks! I guess until I actually see the results in a race it is easy to second guess my training/approach.
