| 5 miles in 43:56, 8:43 pace. Good to be on the road again these last 3 runs. Felt pretty decent this morning. Moderate effort. | | Add Comment |

| Not really all that fast, but anymore, anything under 9:00 pace at 5 o'clock in the morning in full sweats is a fast run for me. 44:21 or 8:51 pace. Feeling a bit better each day. Can't run tomorrow morning unless I get up at 4:00 a.m., since I have to be to an early meeting, but I'll run when I get home tomorrow night. Cooperative weather and good roads right now. | | Add Comment |

| 5 miler tonight at 6:00 p.m. in 43:40 or about 8:40 pace. 42 degrees. Burned off a lot of frustration from work today, so maybe it was good that I ran afterward instead of first thing this morning. Of course, on the other hand, maybe I had a crappy day at work because I didn't get a run in this morning. A lot of snow melting today and with the water running across the streets, it will probably be icy for the morning run, so I'll take it easy tomorrow. Got an e-mail from Matt today saying he got a 4 miler in on Saturday. I don't understand seasonal runners for some reason. He hasn't run a step since the St. George Marathon. Now he's starting to get into it and build back up his base mileage. He does this every year. I think he'd be really good if he'd run all year long, but that's just my opinion. Everybody's different and to each his own. I have to run and when the time comes that I have to give this up, it will be very, very tough. | | Add Comment |

| 5 miles this morning in 47:44, about 9:31 pace. Actually pretty slow, but I had run the night before and didn't push at all. Also ran 1 1/2 miles tonight again, but with my labrador. She is so out of shape. I need to start running her a bit. I was dragging her the last 1/2 mile, but she did okay. Supposed to be weather in the morning, I think. Hope I don't have to be on the treadmill, it's been nice not to be on that for a week now. | | Comments(1) |

| 12 miles today in 1:46:21. Helen ran 8 with us and Tina did 10. A bit sluggish in places but not bad. I'll take anything sub 9 minute pace for my long runs. Weather held off. Rain overnight, but nothing this morning. 38 miles this week. | | Add Comment |
