Legs didn't have much pep in them.  Felt like I was going really slow.  Was able to finish with no walks though and beat my personal best by 2 seconds.

Miles: 3.11 Time: 31:44 Pace: 10:12 Avg HR: 158, Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (91.93) No Walks

Crushed my personal best.  Was only going to do 2.5, but I was feeling good with the cool weather that came in so did my longer route.  Halfway through I knew I was going to beat my best time the only question was by how much.  With 1 mile left I knew if I could do a 10 minute mile I would beat it by over a minute.   Beat my best time by 1:28. 

Nobody better tell me this run was a sin.

Miles: 2.89 Time: 30:12 Pace: 10:27 Avg HR: 157, Shoes: Brooks Addiction (306.18) Wind Level = medium.

 Good solid run.  Trying not to increase too quickly.

Miles: 3.11 Time: 32:31 Pace: 10:28 Avg HR: 160, Shoes: Brooks Addiction (309.29) Rained last night, cooler, but very humid this morning,

Normally I run at night.  Less cars at 6AM than at 11PM.  When running at night after a rain, don't remember it feeling this humid.  Sun behind the clouds all run.

 Walked 1.1 miles with the family at Boyce Thompson Arboretum.

Solid run, didn't push too hard.  Light rain.  Saw a DOR gopher snake and heard the toads that sound like sheep calling.

Miles: 3.11 Time: 32:18 Pace: 10:23 Avg HR: 160, Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (95.04)

Hot!

Miles: 3.11 Time: 31:29 Pace: 10:08 Avg HR: 160, Shoes: Brooks Addiction (315.51) No Walks

Cooler than typical, but a bit windy.  New personal best and I have run more miles this year than last.

Here's not one, not two, but three celebratory videos.

knocked another 5 seconds of my personal best.

Miles: 3.11 Time: 30:27 Pace: 9:47 Avg HR: 160, Shoes: Brooks Addiction (318.62) No Walks

Made a conscious effort to start off at a better pace and hung on.   Beat my previous personal best by 57 seconds. Finally under 10 minute miles.

Was too tired to run last night, so I decided to do a morning run and actually followed through with that decision.  Body really wanted to go faster at the start, but I held it back.  Good thing, cause the end of the run was HOT!  Body has been giving me some aches after consistently pushing faster the last week.  Just wanted to get the miles in.  Nice to see my average HR so low on a run.

Miles: 2.66 Time: 27:32 Pace: 10:22 Avg HR: 150, Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (103.47) No walks

First 4 miler ever.  I drove to the canals so I could run on dirt and was sad to see that they have turned it into concrete.  The other side of the canal was already paved.  There was still some dirt to run on, but it wasn't very level and was often filled with tire ruts or was overly soft from the construction of the concrete path.  They probably thought they were doing such a nice thing to "improve" things for the runners.  Started running at 5:45 Just wanted to go slow and get the miles in.   Very satisfying to be done with my run as on my drive home I saw a myriad of people getting their exercise in as it started to warm up from cool 88 degrees I got to run in.
