Today was another good start to the week. Felt pretty good, and the time went by fast. It is hard running exclusively on a treadmill...

Felt good today, just went at an easy 8:00 pace. Not much more to really say...

Went a little longer today. I did a "rolling hills" workout on the treadmill and it went for time instead of distance, so it set it at 50 minutes and went with it. Still trying to stay at about an 8:00 pace on most days. It is pretty easy and keeps my BPM at about 153, so that is good for my aerobic base stuff.

A good run. It was later in the night than I like, but doesn't matter. I made the goal to make sure I got my run in no matter what, and I did it. Don't you love achieving your goals?

Today's long run felt really good. I ran at about an 8:30 for the first 7 miles. Then picked up the last mile and a half. Every 400m I would increase my speed until the last .25 I was at a 7:30 pace. 

It wasn't anything spectacular, and I know that I could have run that last mile and a half a lot faster, but I wanted to end on a high note, but not do something stupid and get injured or whatever.

Three weeks in a row are encouraging, should be good for the next little while too.
