5.25 miles stadium stairs at work @ sub 7:30 pace. I'm pretty shot from the 30 miles I ran Fri/Sat. But I will probably need to get in 7 days/week for a few weeks to allow for a touch less mileage each day as I continue to build up the miles to the 75 mpw plateau.

Quality run tonight. 2.5 miles stadium stairs at work. Then I had to do an ice make (15m). Then out to the track. 1 mile warm up in 7:15 followed by 4 x 1/4 mile (5:30-5:40 pace) with 1/4 mile recovery after each. Then 2 x 1 mile @ sub MGP (6:48 and 6:44) with 1/4 mile recovery after each, then 1 mile cruising @ 7:22. All recovery laps @ about 8:00 pace, which is still easily within the framework of the slow end of AB pace. Good run! Total miles: 9

Interesting run today. 60 degrees and perfect weather. A touch breezy. Was supposed to be just a very easy 'just miles' run. And for the most part, I think it was. Started out first mile at 7:59, then I could feel the pace jump (seemed to be running 7:30 pace for my 2nd mile so I stopped for about a minute, hoping to slow myself down at the 1.5 mile mark). Second mile ended up 7:36 and the 3rd ended up 7:31.  Outside of not wanting to be that fast, it felt pretty good, but I stopped again to try to break myself away from the pace. No use, I finally just gave over to it, but kept what felt like a relatively light and comfortable pace. Legs felt a bit heavy at the end, but last night was a tough workout. Pace remained true in feel to mostly comfortable, with the exception of a couple tough hills.

7:59, 7:36, 7:31, 7:36, 7:29, 7:19, 7:18, 7:22 (.5) with .5 cool down @ 7:54.

Ave pace for the 7.5 was 7:31

1pm: Feeling quite tired and beat up today. Sleep is probably part of it. Difficult to get more than 5.5 hours of sleep at night, so I've been taking a couple hour nap each day. The plan for tomorrow was 15 and today it was 8. Just did an easy 4.11 around 7:40 pace. Might do 3-4 miles of stadium stairs at work tonight to keep the mileage up. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

9:30pm: 3 miles stadium stairs at work easy (7:45s)

Rough run today. 38 degrees, sleet, quite windy. Wind in my face the entire first half. 5-7.3 was a long slow winding downhill, so miles 7.3-9.6 were a long slow winding uphill. Really was cashed out after 12 and did my best to just keep going after 12. But, miles 6-12 were a nice clip. Stopped at the half mark, then at the top of the hill, and at mile 12 for about 1 to 2 minutes.

7:49, 7:46, 7:38,  7:44, 7:44, 7:28, 7:05, 7:10, 7:27, 7:19, 7:14, 7:06, , 7:37, 7:31, 7:14
