Morning: Timberlake road run, part rocky road and mostly clay and sand.  Went a nice easy 9:20/mi average pace.  Started getting some hot spots in the toe box of my new shoes.  Mizuno why, the Precisions were perfect the way they were (except for the new cool colors).

Evening:  Ran with a couple of guys and my brother to start with.  First mile was about 8:15, and then we started picking up the pace 7:32, 7:25, 7:25, 7:11.  The temperature was a little cold, but perfect for running fast.  My brother fell off after the 3rd mile, but he is still improving which is good.  He use to not even be able to hold a 9min/mi pace for 5mi.  He is still not close to beating me at any distance, but he may get there some day.

Ran with my brother again and had an overall average of 8:17.  The last mile we picked up the pace to about 7:30 and sprinted the last 1/10 of a mile.  My legs are finally getting a little tired. 

Also did some pushups, crunches, and a few other exercises with a medicine ball.

Did an easy warm up 4 mi until I met up with a running group and then picked up the pace to about 7:55-8:05/mi for 5 miles and then slowed down to about 8:40 for the last mile.  Over all felt good.

Nasty windy day, overcast and drizzly.  Did a 4 mi jog, wanted to run on the beach, but there was no hard sand since the surf was rough.  I was also wet from the rain and didn't want to be covered in sand.  I did averaged about an 8:45, faster going with the wind than fighting against it.
