I could see the flickering armband

Today I made my way to WC Borough for a run with the group. I got there a couple of minutes late and spent the run trying to catch up with the group. I decided yesterday that I would only do the first 4.15 miles with the group and then turn off route to head back to my car...for a 5.1 mile total. The group had well over a minute (probably .25 miles) on me as I began the run. I could see the flickering armband of one of the guys a few blocks away. I came within 100 meters of them before turning off; I don't think they noticed me. I hit the 4-mile mark in 28:28 (7:07 pace) and took the last mile or so easy, getting to my car in 37:00. 5.1 Total for week (Sat-Thurs.) thus far: 25.3 miles.

Yesterday I drove to Penn Oaks and did a quick lift--3 upper body machines (3 sets) and 5 legs machines (2 sets).

Tomorrow (Friday, 3/5/10): I plan to drive to Penn Oaks to lift.
Saturday (3/6/10): lots of stretching and drills; 2x200 in :29, 2x150 in :20
Sunday (3/7/10): race day. Goal: 30/31(61),31/32(63)=2:04
