Broke out the Garmin my brother-in-law gave me for the first time tonight. Kinda cool, will take some getting used to. Did 10.01 miles in 1:13:07 (7:18s). Did the first 5 progressive from base through to almost tempo pace. Its been a while and the last mile was starting to kick my butt. Splits were as follows: 7:41, 7:15, 6:57, 6:41, 6:37 (took 2 minute break) and then set off on another 5 at base pace: 7:43, 7:22, 7:30, 7:50, 7:25. This course was fairly hilly and a few sections really did me in for a short span. Good workout.

Pretty shot after todays run. Temps in the low 70s with no wind. Did 12.66 miles in 1:39:34 (7:51s). First 3.5 was a warm up to the YMCA 1.5 miles and then did 2 with the ladies as they warmed up for their run. Then did 5.75, first mile very easy with the back of the pack, then I drove 1 mile hard to catch up with Megan. Megan and I then did 4 or so together before I cooled down around another 3.4. Splits as follows on the day:

7:55, 8:33, 9:06, 8:45, 6:58, 8:15, 7:34, 7:21, 7:00, 7:43, 7:35, 7:21, 5:10 (.66 miles -- 7:50). Some very easy sections, the portion with Megan was faster than I wanted to go, certainly not easy or recovery, so tomorrow will focus on a purely recovery type longer run.

Zen run today. 10.2 miles, garmin ran out of juice at mile 3. Google maps has it at 10.2 and it took somewhere in the neighborhood of 1:15-1:20. So the most likely guess based on time and feel was 7:45s. Good recovery type longer run today.

The word for the day is ... Hot.  Upper 80s at the beginning of the run and quite humid. Out and back double progressive tonight. 4 miles out progressive, .25 recovery, 2 minutes inactive recovery, then 4 miles back progressive, .75 recovery.

Splits as follows:

8:02, 7:33, 7:17, 7:07 2:03 (.25 -- 8:12s);

7:27, 7:16, 6:56, 6:30, 6:31 (.75 -- 8:45s)

Did 12 sets of stadium stairs at work tonight. Rough road equivalent of 9 miles in 1:06:02 (7:20s). This workout was quick, but felt very relaxed and easy, like a complete fat-burning workout more along the lines of a 7:45 type pace. Maybe we're starting to make adaptations, or maybe it was nice and cool in the ice rink and has been quite hot and humid outside, and that was the real adaptation that was made. I dunno, at any rate ... Splits as follows: 5:48, 5:37, 5:37, 5:37, 5:31, 5:29, 5:28, 5:30, 5:25, 5:21, 5:24, 5:16
