Positive Running

Since my family is celebrating Mother's Day by going out to dinner, I ran at Scott Field shortly after church.  On a sunny, 83 degree humid afternoon with a moderate breeze, ran 2x1200m and 3x800m repeats with 800m recovery intervals.  Ran the 1200m repeats in 5:18 and 5:05, then ran the 800m repeats in 3:23, 3:26 and 3:28.  Pretty slow, but the heat was getting to me, I hadn't eaten for over 5-hours, and I was generally taking it easy.

Ran 8.3 mile on the TM.  First 8-miles in 61:20, then 0.3 miles at an 8-min pace for a cool down.  Also, ran up a slight incline for 125 vertical feet.  Wanted to run more, but ran out of time.

Ran 10.5 miles on the TM in 73:57.  First 3-miles in 23:21 (7:47/mile), then next 7-miles in 50:36 (7:14/mile).  Last 0.5 mile cool down at an 8:34/mile pace.

Ran 6 easy miles on the TM.

On a cool morning and afternoon, started by taking our dog, Hershey, for a 6-mile run out at Lake Sylvia in 51:04, then took Hershey home and ran 11 miles around Two Rivers Park in 87:02.  Ran the first 3-miles at Lake Sylvia up the 350 foot incline at a 9:10/mile pace.  Ran the second 3-miles down the incline at a 7:46/mile pace. After each mile, I stopped to let Hershey catch-up. 

Then, ran 11 miles at Two Rivers Park, starting with a warm-up mile, and then 10 miles at a steady average of 7:51/mile pace.
