Today was rainy all day, so I did the treadmill at finished averaging a 7:30 pace.

This weeked didn't get much done. We went to Slovenia and it was wet and snowy the whole time...8 inches in two days. It was great to be back in my mission country and see so many friends!

Today's run was challenging. I went with one of my squads on a run this morning up to Monte Berico which had a .50-.75 long steep hill. My legs were jello by the time I was about 60m from the top. All in all we averaged an 8:00 pace for the six mile run. We had to stop and turn around and wait for a couple of soldiers who were really struggling....that is why I hate running with the army. No release runs, at least not here in Italy!

In the afternoon I did 4 miles on the treadmill in just over a 7:30 pace.

Today's run was good. Averaged just under 7:30 pace on the treadmill. Should be able to run outside tomorrow as the weather should be better!

Finally got an outside run in today! It was beautiful. The clouds have gone and the blue sky is back. It is a little colder with no cloud cover, but I will take it every day of the week if I could. My body is feeling a bit sore, but no injury pain which is nice. My right leg is feeling a lot better from a bit of tendonitis and some swelling off the lower part of my shin near the ankle. Here were my splits:

7:33   7:27   7:30   7:21   7:23   7:21   7:20   7:11   7:08   6:58 = 7:19 avg. at 155BPM

60 miles! I did it, I finally hit 60. Wow, my legs were feeling a bit dead today. Well, I think I have pretty much peaked as far as my mileage goes. I will keep running longer runs on Saturdays in the future, but I just couldn't do it this week. So, I guess I haven't peaked, but I have built up to where I want to be on a weekly basis.

I will keep this up for another couple of weeks, and then start focussing more on speed and longer runs on the weekends. I sure hope by March I will be in good enough shape for a Boston qualifying time.

7:39   7:28   7:26   7:23   7:26   7:20   7:27   7:19   7:11   7:09 = 7:23avg at 168BPM
