Slept in so I had to get a quick run in tonight before I got too sleepy. Ran gradual increase:

  1. 8:44
  2. 8:06
  3. 7:31
  4. 7:19 (.24)
Felt good to turn the legs over. I'm still reminding myself that I should not be running fast for a couple more weeks. I will be patient because I don't want to be injured.

Slow to faster easy run. I think I picked it up mainly because I was so cold. I just wanted to finish. As I stumbled to though the first mile, the Garmin was .20 off some how. I know the distance on this route so I still don't know why the measurement was short but I simply tacked on the extra at the end. Still trying to be patient...

I woke up at 4:55 AM for no apparent reason. I then realized that a)it's freezing cold out, b) I missed my run yesterday so I have to run today, and c) it's Thursday and the Striders run from Longleaf at 5:30! I decided that if I hurried, I could make it. I arrived at 5:29 to find about 12 bouncing, beanie wearing, weird people psyching themselves up for a cold morning run. I was able to get my shoes, arm warmers, and a long sleeve shirt on just in time to head out with the crowd. My plan was to do 6 miles slow. I ended up running with Eudair and of course we did 6 miles fast. I didn't wear the Garmin so I have no idea how fast but I know we finished within a hundered yards or so of Tim & his young, fast, running store buddy. They were trying to stay at about a 7 minute pace. Bottom line: don't run with Eudair if you want to run slow.
