AP 10:05

Could only get in 3.57 miles as I needed to go in town to make some plane reservations for Boston!  Plane reservations secure now trying to make some hotel reservations...everything is booked up but supposedly stuff will open up on the 3rd.  We shall see...

.50 miles (10:44) - .25 (11:07) - .50 (8:56) - .25 (11:13) - .50 (8:53) - .25 (10:45) - .50 (8:50) - .25 (11:14) - .50 (9:04)

wu 3 miles/ 3 miles tempo/ 3 miles easy

I was very, very tired today. Last nights hard rain woke me up and then I realized I left the car windows down so I had to run out and quickly close things up...then the puppy had to go out and do his business a bit later. I made it through the workout but I was just plain tired.

wu: 1.50 miles (10:29) ran for 30 seconds hard and then easy for 30 seconds - 10 reps...sort of.  The 30 second distances I didn't want to figure out for distance, so I'm just doing an easy mile entry even though a bit of it wasn't so easy.

Well, my body was screaming for a day of rest and I complied.  Tomorrow my goal will be to go around 14 or so miles...we shall see!

Had a nice long run today.  I started running at 6:30am and the temperature was around 78 degrees with humidity of 84%.  I finished at around 9:30 and the temp was 82 degrees with the same humidity.  Needless to say my running clothes were rather drenched.  AP was 11:48.  Took a 45 second walk break every 4 minutes.  Here are the splits:  11:59, 12:23, 11:58, 12:11, 12:14, 11:55, 11:50, 11:17, 10:56, 11:13, 10:59, 11:22, 11:28, 11:39, 10:49

Have a good weekend

Didn't make it out to run in the morning as my 2nd daughter was sick, but I did manage to get out and get a few miles in this afternoon.  AP was 10:19.  9:44, 9:46, 9:51, 9:39, 12:59 (walked with a friend :-)  10:02, 10:03

Worked on VO2 Max miles this morning.  Did a 2 mile warm up, then 4 x .50 miles with a 3 minute jog/walk in between each 1/2 mile, then a w.d. of 1.45.  I was shooting for a 8:00 mile pace.

1/2 miles pace splits:  7:43, 7:50, 7:52, 7:55

For some reason I was quite tired this morning. I was a little bit stiff as well.  Guess it was those 1/2 miles yesterday.  Went about 5.1 miles (forgot my garmin) and I might run this evening as well.  We shall see...

 well, I had time to put in 2.03 miles 9:51, 9:31

wu 2 miles AP 11:33

3 miles tempo  AP 8:59 (my target was 9:00)  I ran 4 minutes and walked 45 seconds during the tempo run.  Felt good but I was tired and pushed a bit.

wd 2 miles walked 1 mile of it and was sociable...nice

Took it nice and easy today.  AP 10:27  (10:54) (10:16) (10:21) (10:17) (10:08)

à demain

Nice and easy medium long run today.  Started out at 7am and it was 78 degrees with 88% humidity.  Finished about 2 1/2 hours later and the temperature was 82 degrees with 88% humidity.  I drank about 2 liters of liquid during the run and I still lost 3.6 pounds.  Needless to say I could wring out my socks after wards.

AP  11:44 - 11:33, 11:57, 11:34, 11:30, 11:47, 10:55, 11:41, 11:32, 11:47, 11:54, 12:59, 11:34, 11:40

Nice easy 5 miles.  Forgot my garmin so no splits this morning.  Just some FYI of what's going on in our neck of the world...had the first ever democratic presidential elections last week Sunday.  Results have been trickling in.  Lots of ethnic tensions taking place between the 2 candidates.  Results are supposed to come out today.  Things have heated up in town so they 'closed the doors' of our girls' school with all the students inside.  This happens on a rare occasion when tensions and sometimes rioting takes place.  It's for their safety and the safety of all the parents that have to travel on city roads to get kids after school.  So, we can't go get our kids until the French Ambassador says it's OK to do so (it's a French school).  I was at least able to get to the store and get a few supplies this morning before they closed. 

Well, had a bit of a pm run.  FYI...we were finally able to pick up our girls from school without incident.  Announcement of the winner of the elections should be any time now.  Hopefully things won't heat up too much.  Here are my splits:  10:21, 10:34, 10:16, then walked for .37 miles.

Hard work out today.  Managed to get in 5 Yasso's.  Lots of excitement going on around us since the announcement of the new President.  All of us are sticking close to home as trouble is about through out the city.  Here are the splits:  wu 2.06 AP 11:06, .50 (8:24), .50 (11:01), (8:21), (11:27), (8:23), (11:42), (8:16), (12:57), (8:22)

Got in a few miles this pm.  I bit (all relative) cooler with threatening rain.  10:25, 10:21, 10:12, then a nice leisurely .55 walking cool down.

Bonne Nuit!

Well, I had an ML today...Mental Lapse...I thought today was the day for a tempo run. Yesterday was so bizarre because of the crazy events taking place around town that I thought today was Thursday.  So that's why I was tired...again!  Oh well...here are the splits:  10:29, 9:12, 8:58, 8:44, walked for last mile.

Took it easy this morning as yesterday was rather stressful.  Splits:  9:54, 10:24, 10:01, 11:16, 9:50, 10:23

Tired again this morning so took it easy.  Want to get in at least 15 tomorrow.  We shall see.  AP: 10:55  Splits: 10:53, 10:37, 10:27, 10:33, 10:26

Felt good today.  Not nearly as tired as last weekend.  Finished running around 10am and it was 77 outside with 83% humidity, so it wasn't as hot as last weekend.  Cloud cover.  AP was 11:48.  Splits: 12:20, 11:58, 12:04, 11:46, 12:04, 11:31, 11:09, 12:30, 11:31, 12:40, 11:22, 11:36, 11:09

Was able to get a pm run in:  10:21, 10:22, 9:45, 9:10, 8:42, 18:01 (walked 1.4 miles)  Note that mile 4 & 5 were a bit faster as a 16 year old came around and started lapping me so I HAD to run faster!

Ran this evening and it was rather warm.  Started out OK, but I really got warm.  10:21, 10:15, 10:34, 10:59, 10:25

Don't know if I'll run tomorrow as I'll be doing lots of cooking for Thanksgiving!  Yum!  Happy Thanksgiving!

sleep deprived night so just walked.

Had one of those weeks...very tired and low motivation.  Started the workout today, but didn't finish.  Did some mile repeats.

w/u .84 (12:46), 1 mile (7:50), .26 recovery, 1 miles (7:54), .22 recovery, 1 mile (7:49), .44 recovery, then had fun playing tennis with a bunch of ladies for about an hour and a half.

Well, I had a suicidal moment this pm.  That 16 year old boy came by to run again and he wanted to run with me.  He's a good runner but new to any kind of training ideas.  So, I thought, let's take advantage of this situation and have him push me on a few more YASSO's.  I thought, let's try doing 4 more.  After 3 I was toast and I was going to have him finish the last one all out, but he was nursing a pulled muscle, so we walked a bit and then I showed him a bunch of exercises to do to help his pulled muscle.  Here were the splits:

w/u .18, 7:23/9:33, 7:29/8:58, 7:40   w/d of walking for .14
