Run went as follows:
50 minutes easy run pace
20 minutes picking it up, cruising
Turned around and negative split the way back in 13 minutes

- General: Bradley Palmer was so much nicer with no snow. I really enjoyed running there today. The course is beautiful when there isn't snow and you can really cruise in some areas of it. Hit some good hills along the way that kept things interesting throughout. The negative split we both cruised and I was pleased to see Dan be able to keep up with me. It'll be nice to have a running partner that doesn't require getting up at 4:30am (kidding Contois I love it ;)) for the summer days when I need a little extra sleep. I'm pumped that running has been going so well recently minus a few injuries.
- Nutrition: Good, but I'm drinking tonight and will probably be tomorrow as well.
- Body: Felt the squats on the uphills today but otherwise pretty fresh.
- Sleep: 7 hours. Couldn't sleep in today.
- Reflections: Ready for a good weekend and the beginning process of healing my elbow. I think I'm going to start checking out new places around my area to keep my runs interesting. It was really refreshing running on pretty much new trails. The run today also helped improve my biggest running weakness; intermediate distances at "faster" paces. I'll be working on that significantly next week because I can't do much else.

Ben - I'll show you a few new spots we've never run this coming week. Upton State Park, Webber Property, and the Westboro Charm Loop to name a few.
Sounds good. The more places in my "repertoire" the longer I think I'll treat running as new and exciting, which for me is the right thing to do.
When I go back to Springfield I'll have to get you down there one weekend for a long run. Been doing a lot of research and have found a lot of places in the area.
