Great end to a great week

This past Saturday started as most usually do, a wake up call at 6 am, out the door by 6:30, treatment on my knee till 7 then out to the dirt road for a 14 mile long run.  What made this saturday different than any I can remember was the fact that our entire team ran together as we forced the pace faster and faster over the rolling 14 mile course.  The average pace of the run dipped under 6 minutes as we finished the long run in 1 hour 23 minutes and some odd seconds.  At about 3 miles to go we meet our first real challenge of our run, this challenge comes in the form of a monstrous man eating hill.  We had been hitting our last few miles in about 5:40-5:45 pace, but covering the uphill mile in 5:47 set the tone for the last two.  The 13th mile was run in 5:12 with the 14th mile not to be outdone, run in 5:09.  Needless to say, this team is special, unlike anything I have ever seen before and maybe something I will never see again.  

Our next race is the chile pepper cross country festival right here in Fayetteville, Ar, on Saturday, October 16.  Come out and support the hogs!  Wooo Pig Sooie!
