10 easy miles today for the birthday boy.  31 Years old, man it stinks to get older!!  I used to welcome birthday's.  Last year was pretty rough turning 30, they had me on suicide watch for the day and had to take away my weapon.  Turning 31 isn't as bad as turning 30.  I keep telling myslef that I'm in the prime of my life.  I feel like I'm in pretty good shape and I weigh less then I did when I graduated high school. 

As I was running my 10 miler this morning I thought, "wow, how many people in my graduating high school class can say that after 12 years from graduating, that they are still in shape, feel good and are keeping off the pounds."  That thought made me feel a little better about myself.  Birthadays are tough for me. 

I bought some pretty light racing shoes from Steve for my birthday, so that made me feel a little better as well.  Maybe I'll try them out tomorrow with a little speed work.

10 easy miles.  I felt pretty sluggish after all the cake, ice cream and Mountain Dew that I had for my birthday yesterday.   I was going to do speed this morning, but I wasn't feeling like I would have got the most out of the work out, so I'll do it tomorrow instead.

10 total miles today.  A pretty good day for speed.  Started a little earlier to beat the heat.  I ran on my new Saucony Type A shoes.  They are a lot lighter and  are going to be my racing shoes in the future.  I've never had a pair of  racing shoes, I've always raced in my trianing shoes, whice are probably too heavy.  These Saucony Type A's are light, I felt like I was running bare foot.  I've never ran in anything so light.  I thought I had better try them out before my first race in them, I was impressed.

Did some speed today, mile repeats @ speed.

Mile 1 @ 5:41

Mile 2 @ 5:31

Mile 3 @ 5:22

Mile 4 @ 5:16

Pretty good work out. The first three were pretty easy.  The last one I was getting kind of tired and didn't think I was going to be able to do a sub 5:30 mile.  I think I was mentally tired, but my body was more then able.   I maintained a decent pace and worked to maintain it and was suprised to see that it was my fastest mile.

10 easy miles this morning.  Didn't get started until 8:30am, way to hot.  I'll have to get an earlier start tomorrow, I'm planning on doing at least 14. 

I was pretty tired on my run this morning.  It could have been the heat or yesterdays speed that took all the enery from me.  I felt pretty slow and sluggish.

14 miles this morning.  I was proud of myself, I actually got up at 5:00 a.m, it was nice to get done with my long run before it even got hot.  Felt pretty good throught the run.  Ended up doing some marathon pace miles inbetween and towards the end.  I averaged 7:07, not bad, but not really good either. 

I feel good and should be in good shape to pick things up a little next week.  The achilles tendon hasn't bothered my all week.  I haven't even felt it, which is a good thing.
