5.05 mile out and back for a total run of 10.1 in 1:11:08 (7:02s). Out in 36:20 (7:11s) and back in 34:48 (6:53s). This run felt moderately hard, a controlled sense of strained. More like a tempo run than anything else. My goal was to pick a pace and stick to it through the run, such that as my body warmed up the run got easier, instead of keeping the same sense of effort so that as I warmed up I got faster. I would say I was moderately successful at this (9 seconds/mile faster on the way back isn't that much different. Time was 1pm, little to no wind and hot 78 degrees.

Ran to work and home today. 4.3 there at 4:30pm and 4.2 home at 10:30pm, no wind and temps in the mid 60s. About 5 lbs of backpack weight. Time there was 33:58 (7:54s) and home was 32:13 (7:40s). Good easy pace today.

1:30pm, 65 degrees and a steady soaking rain. 4.8 mile out and back to the corner of Berry and Big Bend for a total run of 9.6 in 1:10:21 (7:19s). Out in 36:06 (7:31s) and back in 34:15(7:08s).

10.3 today in 1:16:00 (7:22s). Comfortable and light run today at 10am. 60 degrees and drizzle turning into light rain, no wind. This run felt good and I felt that I kept myself in the 'easy zone' the entire run. I hit the first 4 miles at 30 minutes, so I know I was running 7:30s through 4. My finishing mile was a 7:05, so that means that my average for the middle 5.3 miles was 38:55 (7:20s). My guess is that this was another steady progressive run kept mostly on the border between Base II and M-pace.

Did 6 sets of Stadium Stairs at work tonight (rough road equivalent: 4 miles). Sets were as follows: 5:46, 5:43, 5:40, 5:33, 5:30, 5:28 and then ran outside to the track where I ran 5 miles. Splits for the 5 miles were as follows: 7:19, 7:17, 7:15, 7:10 and 8:13 (cool down mile). I added in a quarter of a mile for the distance between the building and the rink back and forth.

12.1 mile run today in 1:31:44 (7:34s). First 6 in 47:02 (7:50s). 2nd 6.1 in 44:41 (7:19s). The entire run felt very comfortable and easy while I was doing it, but I did feel a bit tired when I was done.
