15 in about 1:52 averaging about a 7:30 pace. I have been feeling really good lately. This is the end of my first week back at school so it has been an adjustment, but I have been loving it. I hope I find a good buddy to run with, however. I havent found anyone who runs at about the same pace as me.

Off day.

Did a nice 10 miler today. After mile 7.5 I did 4X100 meter strides and then continued up to 10 miles. My pace was between 7:10 and 7:30 and total run was 75 minutes including strides and rest between them. Also did 3X20 seconds of plank, 3X20 pushups and 3X12 1 leg squats for some injury prevention. Exciting news is that tomorrow I found a group of students to run with!! I am looking forward to meeting some fellow runners and I hope that we have similar pace etc. 

Great 12 mile run with the running club. I had a ton of fun and we set a great pace. the first 4 miles at about 7:20 and the next 7 at 7:10. I can't wait to run with them again. Also did 3X20 core work, 3X20 pushups and stretching

very easy 5 miles.. around 8:30 pace

3X20 seconds plank

3X20 pushups

3X15 sumo squats

3X12 one leg squats

3X12 bench dips

ankle exercises

easy 8 in 60 minutes. Started out slow with the running group, so averaged out to 7:50 min/mile pace, but for the last four miles I was running around 7:30 or so. It was a nice coincidence today. The only time it was not raining was when I was running. I am loving running with the running club. We will have some races coming up as well, so I will get some feedback to see how training is going. I am really feeling faster when I run. 

Also, club swim practices are starting. Today was a light intro practice and consisted of 

1X600 crawl

1X100 alternate arm swimming
