13 miles today. The most feared day of the week for me, speed day.
I did 5 miles of speed @ one mile repeats with a slow mile inbetween.
mile 1 @ 5:42
Mile 2 @ 5:39
mile 3 @ 5:36
Mile 4 @ 5:33
mile 5 @ 5:30
A good workout. The last one I really had to tell myself I could do it. I was ready to be done.
In Answer to Ryans question about my training. For some reason I can't respond to comments.
The plan was originally to do two workouts a day after I hit 10 miles. I was planning on running 10 in the mornings and then eventually 5 in the afternoons four days a week 10 on Fridays and long runs on Saturdays.
I don't know now. I ran 13 miles three days this week so far all in the morning and I'm feeling pretty good, so maybe I'll just get-er-done in the mornings and not worry about afternoon runs.
It seems it would be more time consuming to have to find time for two runs a day, change twice, shower twice, stretch twice, you know what I mean?
I'll stay as is for now unless the body starts getting tired. | | Add Comment |

13 miles this morning. Tempo day.
3 miles of warm up at 7:19 per mile followed by 5 miles of tempo at 6:18 per mile. Two cool down miles first at 7:19, last at 6:58, I'll count it as a tempo mile.
A good run this morning. Body stills feels pretty good after four consecutive mornings of 13 miles. I'm on track to run 78 miles this week, which is going to be an all time high for me by 6 miles!!

16 miles at 5:00 am this morning. A good run. I felt pretty strong and fresh throughout. A new life time high for miles ran in one week for me!! My last high was 72, 78 actually felt easier. I think it's because I must be in better shape.
The body feels pretty good. Every now and again my knee hurts for a bit, my achilles or hip, but nothing serious. I think I'm on track to keep bumping up the miles and speed.
I'm looking forward to not running tomorrow.

Went boating with my family yesterday afternoon and spent the night on the lake. We had a good time camping, skiing and wake boarding. It was 2pm before I got to my run today. I'll tell you what, the legs were feeling the skiing from yesterday and today. They felt heavy and tired.
It was a speed day, it was all I could do to not quit. I keep telling myself I could do it and I was right, I could.
Speed as follows.
mile 1 @ 5:39
mile 2 @ 5:36
mile 3 @ 5:33
mile 4 @ 5:30
mile 5 @ 5:27
mile 6 @ 5:24 pace for the first half and 6:00 pace for the last half.
Just glad to be done. Dead tired. | | Comments(1) |

I was pretty tired after my late run yesterday. I found out after my run that the carpet layer was coming early this morning, so me and my wife had to move everything out of the house.
Man was I tired when I started my run this morning. I should have eaten something. I've never been so hungry on a run before in my life. I was shaking, felt weak all I could think about was eating.
I managed to get in 14 this morning. | | Add Comment |

17 miles this morning. Nice and cloudy with a littel rain. A nice and cool run to reward a week of high mileage.
83 miles this week. A life time high in one week for myself. The body was tired, but no signs of injury. I need to stick with the plan and bump up the miles just a bit more and work on that speed, which I hate, because it hurts soooo much!!
I don't know how you 100 plus miles a week guys do it every week. It's all I can do to put one foot in front of the other sometimes.

| 14 easy mile in Antomony, UT at 6700 feet. I'm used to running at 3600 feet. It was nice to run somewhere else for a change. A little greener and a lot cooler in the morning. I could see my breath. I thought my fingers were going to fall off for the first 4 miles I was so cold. Did most of the run a dirt trail. | | Add Comment |

Did some water skiing and wake boarding afterwards as part of my cooldown.

Scheduled for a 12 mile run, my wife was running 13, so I ran 13 with her.
Nice to run with the misses from time to time.
Glad to be done running for the week. Another successful week of running. Completed every run and some good speed and tempo as well. Body feels pretty good.
