Two miles warm up then 3X1 mile at 5K pace with 1/2 mile jog in between.  Did the repeats on the WB trail again.  First mile felt very good and I was in a good rhythm (5:56).  The only issue is that they put in gates where the trail intersects the road.  Kind of had to zig zag to get through them.  Second mile was a little more work.  Didn't feel great but still came in at 5:58. I really had to convince myself to start the third. I got going and tried to focus on running smooth.  I checked my pace after 1/2 mile and it was too slow.  Tried to pick it up but couldn't do it.  Last mile split was 6:10.  Not thrilled about the last mile but the run was good otherwise.  Cooled down with 2 super easy miles.

I was both mentally and physically very tired this morning.  Very strange.  It was warm and windy.  I tried to enjoy it since the weather is taking a turn for the worse today.  Kept the pace nice and slow to try to recover from yesterday's speed work.

I've been having crazy SGM dreams lately.  Probably because I am regretting not running it.  The rain was coming down very hard and it was a little chilly.  Got a late start and I had to get my son to school early so I did not get as many miles as I wanted.  Ran the last 2 miles at 6:40 just for fun.

It was very cold this morning.  I forgot how long it takes for everything to warm up running in the winter.  My ankle was especially tight.  I hope this will not be an issue throughout the winter.  Felt pretty good during the run once I warmed up.  I thought I was ready to ramp the mileage back up but I just discovered that I have a kidney stone bouncing around so I'm going to take it easy until I get it taken care of.

Ran at a good steady pace and felt good throughout the run (after my achilles tendon warmed up).  Picked up the pace the last mile and felt good until I get below 6:30 pace.  Wasn't terrible but I didn't feel as snappy as I would have liked.  It was a slight incline so that may have been the issue.

Got in 3 miles before the club run.  Ran the first 2.5 with Trevor then he turned around and I finished the out and back.  Felt really good during the run.  Thinking a lot about everybody running SGM today.  I have never been so excited to see how others do. 

  • Kathie, Kimmy, JeffC and Huans getting the BQ monkey off their back

  • JeffL and Walter crushing their PR's
  • Teena surprising herself with how well she does
  • Smooth having more fun than anybody should during a marathon
  • MarcE and Dale getting big PR's
Can't wait for the results to come out and read all of the reports.
