Cheston's Running Blog

10 pretty easy miles.  I was interested to see how my body would feel after Saturday's race.  I felt pretty dang good.  The whole run felt easy and smooth, so I picked it up the last mile and finished strong and fresh. 

It was windy and cold this morning.  I'm guessing a storm is brewing.  I was planning on doing some mile repeats today, but the body didn't feel ready.  Still a little tired from Saturday's race.  I decided instead to do 6.5 easy miles followed by 3.5 miles @ marathon tempo.  My tempo was a pretty good pace considering the strong head wind, an average of about 6:30 per mile.

I'm planning on doing some speed tomorrow.  I'm guessing there is going to be snow on the ground. 

10 easy miles.  I was initially thinking about doing some speed, but it was sure windy, cold and snow every where.  I decided instead to reserve the speed work for tomorrow and just do an easy 10 miles.  It was a pretty good run.  I was back in my full winter clothes this morning.  I got pretty hungry after about 5 miles in, thinking about breakfast helped me make it through the run. 

The dog has done all 30 miles with me this week.  He had to take some time off because of the warm weather last week.  I need to shave him so he doesn't kill over and die from the heat.   

Started out with 5 easy miles this morning, followed by 1 mile @ speed.  Wasn't trying to push too much, just wanted to see what came natural.  Ended up doing it in 5:43.  Did an easy mile in between followed by another mile @ speed of 5:28.  Another easy mile and 1 @ speed in 5:18. 

Felt pretty good about my speed today.  I'm guessing it came a litte easier, because of the speed I did last week at the Spectrum 10K.  The poor dog on the other hand stayed with me the whole way, but has been sleeping for the last 3 hours. 

The body feels pretty good and fresh.  It's been a good week thus far. 

10 easy miles.

Pretty busy with work today.  My dad came and stayed for the weekend and brought his road bike.  We did 8 miles, which is all I had time for.  I'm not sure what that counts for,but I went ahead and put down 8 miles anyway.
