6:20

I ran 8 seconds faster than I did last Saturday (for a mile equivalent of last week's time).  I had to be in the "fast" heat, so I went out a little bit too fast but I did not die because of it - I just had little kick at the end of the race.  This doesn't surprise me, since I haven't been doing any speed work.  Phill raced this week - he was behind me the whole race and snuck up on me the last 30 meters of the race and out kicked me!  I can't wait to get some speed in, so I can out kick him. haha - competition. 

We spent the rest of the day in Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz.  It was a lovely day.

Sunday I took an unplanned day off from running.  It was busy because my youngest Sister, Shauna, flew in from Ireland.  Her 3 year old Son, Ben, is also here.  It will be a good Summer. 

Yesterday, Phill and I ran 4 miles.  I think we averaged 9:20 pace, which felt very easy.  Legs weren't tired.  We also did some pre-run Yoga. 

I am currently on the Genenbus, heading home.  We are currently approaching the Page Mill exit, which means traffic is narly.  Overall, the bus is going very well.  Last week's driving took a toll on my body - arms and shoulders were super tense. 

I'm finally starting to perform real work at the new job.  I think my Manager and I will work well together, and I am really excited about getting to know the full role.  I am going to get a lot of exposure to new things, and I will get a chance to develop my coaching and leadership skills which is so exciting!
