I'm obviously not going to go running today, but I'm going to try to do as many physical things as I can just to stay loose and get a little exercise, like walking to church instead of riding, and I'm riding my bike to and from home for Father's day dinner, so that will give me a chance just to keep my legs active. I really like Sundays though because I always need a day to rest.

I tried to push it on this run a little, so while I could have gone faster, I went decently hard for several miles of this run. I averaged 6:55/mile pace.

Nothing today. I don't really have an excuse, I was just really tired and lazy and procrastinated so long that it was too late to get out and do anything. It doesn't feel good to post a zero.

I went out and ran the course for the 10k on July 4th, and I pushed it pretty hard for about half of the course just to see where the most difficult stretches are on the course. In the end I averaged 7:00/mi pace, which doesn't seem that fast to me, but the miles I was pushing were close to 6:00 or 6:15 per mile, depending on the mile.

I went out today for just a basic, slow run, and that's exactly what ended up happening. I haven't been getting enough sleep lately, so I've been more tired than I should be if I'm going to be fast. This run was 7:42/mile pace, which I was fine with. I'm gonna try to go about 18 tomorrow at 7:00/mile pace, so we'll see if I can do that. I think if I sleep well tonight I can accomplish that with some difficulty, but it's definitely obtainable.

Like I said yesterday, my original goal for today was to run about 18 miles at 7:00/mile, and I ended up going only 16.27 miles, but my pace was exactly 7:00/mile pace.....no more, no less. I felt pretty good about this run. I didn't start my run until 10:30, which meant I didn't get home until about 12:30, so it was pretty hot by the time I got home, but I don't think the heat affected my run too much. I had to push myself a bit to run this pace, but I feel good about it.
