10.01 miles at a fairly easy pace.  Coming back I was running into a strong headwind, it felt like I should have been going faster for the effort I was putting into it.  Averaged 7:12 per mile for the 10.01.

Did a little speed today.  Started out with 3 miles of warm up and then went into my first speed mile.  The speed wasn't where I wanted or was expecting it to be, I'm guessing because of the strong head wind.

Mile 1 @ 5:58

Mile 2 @ 5:48

Mile 3 @ 5:47

Mile 4 @ 5:30

I decided to do an extra mile of repeats today, because I was kind of disappointed with the times.  Got mad at the dog because he thought he didn't need to follow me anymore, so I chained him up for the last two miles.

Easy day of running. Legs a little slow from yesterday's speed.   Started a little earlier today with the runnning, but not too early.  I like to get started a little later on my days off.  Ran slow and comfortable for the duration of the 10 miles.  The last mile was 6:47, just keeping it slow. 

Got a lot accomplished today.  Got the 4Runner serviced, finished the taxes, took the 4Runner back into the body shop to have them redo a few screw-ups. 

My 3 year old took a nasty spill today.  She has a black eye, and a big goose egg on her head.  My 7 year old lost her whole top row of front teeth this week, (tooth fairy has been busy).  My girls look pretty sad right now, I hope nobody turns me into DCFS.

10 miles @ 7:05  overall average pace.  I was hoping to go a little faster on the way back, but another headwind said no.  It's been nothing but wind all week long.  I guess tomorrow we might get a pretty good storm through here, so we'll see what happens. 

Sat in a cold bath for about 15 minutes after my run today, yesterday as well.  I'm trying to do a little proactive damage control on a few muscles in my feet and thighs.  There not hurting too bad, but I like to take care of possible future injuries, by taking care of them when they just first start to tingle.

Cold and windy, with snow.  Just went through the motions today.  Got out, did my 10 miles, called it a day.  Nothing less then what I like to call a, "Slug Run".

10 miles, easy effort.  Just glad to be done with the week.  Another long week, with big miles for myself.  Body feels pretty good.  Cold baths did the trick.
