Next stop on the Michigan family vacation is my sister-in-laws house in Dundee Michigan. I've found some potential races to do in the area on Friday the 4th. A 10k at Whitmore Lake and a 5k in Ann Arbor. I probably will do the 10k, but the 5k would probably be a good speed workout.

So I ran an 8.5 mile progressive run today. The conditions were perfect. 60 degrees at 8:30 and not a cloud in the sky. After the run my wife made me take her sister's dog for a jog. That is one unfit dog. He made it about 7 minutes at my slowest possible pace before he made me walk the last 3 minutes. I'd say this added a mile to the run bringing the total to 9.5.

Splits on the run broke down as follows.

1st 2.25 in 18:20 (8:08s)

2nd 2.25 in 17:30 (7:45s)

Then 2 in 15:00 (7:30s)

Last 2 in 14:00 (7:00s)

Total 8.5 ave. pace was 7:38
