run, run, run

5:20am

7 miles Pace: 8:14

Didn't sleep well and woke up feeling like hell. But my legs felt pretty good so I put in a decent pace. My revised goal is to keep every run under 8:15 for the next couple of weeks.

5:49pm

3.1 miles Pace: 7:17

22:36 5k. Legs were tired. Did have put the last mile in at 7:01 though. Wind was a problem in mile 2.

5:22am

Pace: 8:09

Strange morning. Woke up before the alarm, but then went out cold on the snooze. Got out a few minutes late so I cut it a little short but hoofed it in the last few miles.

5:21am

Pace: 8:11

5:17am

Pace: 8:12

It's cold out there. Gotta do a double today.

5:47pm

Pace: 6:49

21.10 5k. I really wanted to get in under 21 minutes today but I finished 10 seconds short. Still something to shoot for.

4:47am

Pace: 8:13

Crazy morning. I woke up before my alarm so I thought I would head out early so I could get back and have a little bit longer nap before going to work. The plan worked out really well until I accidentally ran 8 miles instead of 7. Plus I think I've been running 7 miles in the mornings for so long that my body knows that after an hour it gets to download. Mile 8 was rough.

8:53am

Pace: 8:20

Utah Valley Marathon long run #1 went better than I feared. Did an 8-mile loop, a 7 and then a 5. Not surprisingly, the last loop was rough, but I was able to keep my pace under 8:30 for 3 of the last 5 miles. Five more long runs coming up if I stick to my schedule so plenty of room for improvement.
