Training for the Salem Lake 30K


I had a great training run this morning and I had debated even going. Misty and I took the boys to All Nations Church in Wytheville last night to see the Power Team and I was pretty tired. Then Mike called me just after 4:15am with car trouble on the interstate. Anyway, about 8am I decided to go on out and run at least 6 miles. I ran 9 and averaged a better pace than I have all year.

I am training for the Salem Lake 30K in Winston Salem NC that takes place in two weeks.
