AM - early start at 5 am.  Met Richie in downtown Clearwater and did an out and back over to the north end of the beach over the bridge and back for 7.  Got a drink and headed back out over the bridge to do the "big loop" which goes over the Sand Key bridge and the Bellair bridge and back through Bellair.  We made wrong turn and ended up finishing up along the trail instead of along the golf course.  Richie was a bit tired a slowed somewhat in the last few miles and I slowed to wait for him.  Pretty good group of runners showed this morning at 6 am and we saw them going out as we were coming back in from the first loop.  Linked up with Heather and friend Debbie as we crossed the Sand Key Bridge - they are both training for a half ironman in September.  Ran about mile with them until we pulled away.  Very solid good long run for me this morning.  No soreness or fatigue to speak of from the training this week.

That's a great week's training, Bret. When your body starts to adapt from the stress of the hill-work your running economy will be super efficient and then with the pace stuff, you'll be zipping along.

Thanks - it was a solid week for me, really pleased with the progress too.
