Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
7.50	0.50	8.00

General Aerobic + 8 x 100 m strides.

5:37 am, 34° F, 89% humidity, winds calm, overcast.

It's supposed to get warmer today than it did yesterday, but it was still pretty cold this morning. At least it wasn't dark when I got out.

This was just kind of an ordinary run. I ran my regular six mile loop, which ends near the middle school track, so I ran a little extra to get to the track and did the strides, and then ran home.

AP: 9:38.
Splits before the strides: 10:26, 9:58, 10:06, 9:38, 9:40, 9:19, 0.29 @ 10:04.
Pace on the strides (recovery pace in parentheses): 6:26 (9:52), 6:23 (10:07), 6:41 (9:22), 6:49 (9:41), 6:54 (9:40), 6:53 (9:25), 6:36 (9:54), 6:01.
The run home: 0.77 @ 9:47.

I started fast on the strides, and then my pace slowed in the middle section, and then I picked it up again at the end. I guess I kind of lost focus in the middle.

Brooks Green Silence Miles: 8.00

Nice pace on the strides, lady!

I'm definitely not jealous of the cold that you ran in this morning!

GREAT paces on those strides! You are doing a wonderful job on this training cycle, I can't wait to see how the marathon works out for you! Only a few weeks left, right?

I am so impressed! That 6:01 is awesome.

I was thinking of one of your past blog titles this morning, "A slave to the plan" and I thought how your decidation has paid off, and I knew you'd be out running and being faithful to your goals while I was staying in bed.

I envied your stick-to-it-ivness...but not enough to get out of bed.

If you could watch me try to get out of bed in the morning, you wouldn't be so impressed. My husband has to get up around the same time I do in order to get to work on time, and we lie there and both want the other person to get up and use the bathroom first. I won today. He got up first.

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, May 13, 2010 at 11:17:34 from 24.199.205.252

We should find a way to log the level of difficulty we have getting out of bed....somehow that should be measurable and chartable.

From KP on Thu, May 13, 2010 at 11:26:13 from 65.208.22.26

I am cracking up about the struggle to get out of bed. It's true... hence the reason I've only done one 5am run in my life!!

Nice run today... amazing pace suring your strides!

Nice miles, and nice strides!! It has been pretty wet and cold in Utah, too. I think some warmer weather is finally coming - probably going to go straight into summer!
