I am one with the levee and the levee with me

No morning run, I had another late night getting ready for an exam. Bleh, I'm sick of school.

Anyway, I got out for a 9 miler, and it felt better than I expected. 65:44 total time, about 7:20 pace. Actually, I'm estimating the distance based on time... if I get around to it I'll measure it out, but I'm sure it was at least 9.

Anyway, the shin's doing alright, it gave me a little more grief today than I thought it would, but I put the ice on it, and I should be doing okay.

AM - Easy 4 miles towards Springville - 29:45.

PM - Added another 3 this evening. Meant to go further but ran out of time. 7:30 pace, more or less.

AM - I don't have an exact distance on this run, but I ran pretty close to 7:00 for 55:45, so somewhere around 7.9 miles. The legs were a little tired, but it felt good.

PM - Added a short 3-miler. I feel myself getting back into shape, and it's exciting. I'm planning to race in mid-November and am looking forward to it.

Ran an out-and-back 10, holding about 7:00 on the nose for the majority of it. It felt really good, running is starting to be really enjoyable again.

Single 10 mile run tonight, 1:12:30 total time. Had a little pain on the inside of my left knee so I'm icing it tonight.

12 mile long run tonight, I definitely feel the fitness returning. I averaged about 7:00 and it felt great. Last winter I remember my training pace was dipping under 7:00 until I started into tempo runs and such, so it's probably time to start adding in the tempos in the next couple weeks. I race mid-November and should be in reasonable shape.
