I decided to make today a speed day,  have'nt felt like pushing very hard sense my 10k race in march. I actually did feel pretty good today. My first mile was a warm-up with a 9:19 pace, mile 2, was an 8:13 pace, mile 3 was a recovery mile of 9:26, mile 4 my fastest mile was 7:52. Mile 5 was another recovery mile of 9:28, and mile 6 was 8:38, mile 7, 9:21 and the last mile, mile 8 was 8:15. I think this is my fastest 8 miler. My total time today was 1:11:13 with an average pace of 8:48. I also did some core strength training and about 200 crunches. Tomorrow will be a recovery run.

May God bless the families of the V.T. shootings. So tragic.

It's a good thing today is a recovery run. I work up this morning with a sore throat, by the end of the day I was achey and feverish. So I thought I would go for a real easy run and try and sweat this stuff out of me. The first four miles I didn't feel to bad, but the last four I could tell my cold was starting to get to me. I did mostly up hill work today. My total time was 1:21:18, with anverage pace of 10:06, right were I felt like running today. I know pretty slow, but it is a recovery run.

No running today, I am afraid my cold has kicked into high gear today. I feel very achey and a fever. I did not sleep very well last night because of the sickness. So I will take a rest day and see how I feel tomorrow.

I seem to still be suffering from this cold virus. My throat is not as sore, but my ears and head seem to be pretty stuffy. I was able to get my run in today, all though it was real slow, I did'nt want to over do with this virus. I felt ok the first four miles, at the the turnaround on the way back I did get real fitigued. But I was able to gut it out, hopefully this thing will pass in a few days. My totalt time today was 1:18:43, with an average pace of 9:43.

Did not feel like running today , the virus I have had this week has left me a little weak. I don,t feel as bad as I did the middle of the week, I will get a good night's rest tonight and see how I feel for my long run tomorrow.

What difference a good night's sleep and a day of rest. I felt really good this morning, my cold virus is on the way out and I am starting to feel much better. I took it easy on my long run today just wanted to  run long and get the legs used to pounding for a couple of hours. I did Harry's Hill today , long and very steep. I felt good all the way up. My last mile on the last good hill coming up out of the river bottoms I felt a little tired, but we gutted it out. My total time today was 2:22:51, with an average pace of 10:07, burned 2278 calories.
