Positive Running

On a cloudy and cool afternoon (38 degrees) with a steady 12 - 15 mph wind, ran 10.7 miles on the south side of the Arkansas River.  There were only a few runners in the River Trail this afternoon. 

On a 38 degree sunny afternoon with a steady 10 mph wind, ran 14.1 miles with Wesley on the loop from downtown Little Rock, along the north side of the Arkansas River Trail, over the Big Dam Bridge, and along the south side of the Arkansas River Trail.  Average pace was 8:01/mile, and ran 11 miles in the range from 7:35 to 8:05 per mile. 

Finished setting my new TM at home and tested it with a 3.2 mile run in 25.40 (8:01/mile). 

Ran 11.55 miles on the south side of the Arkansas River Trail in 1:33:05 (8:06/mile).  It was a cool 50 degree afternoon with a slight 4-5 mph wind.  Wearing my Saucony Cortana 2s, ran the first 6 miles at an 8:14/mile pace, then ran the final 5.55 miles at a 7:57/mile pace.   Probably because the 3-Bridges Marathon is scheduled for Saturday, there were not many runners on the trail this afternoon.

Ran a very easy 12.52 miles in 1:45:09 (8:24/mile) on a sunny afternoon with temps in the 50's.  Ran along the south side of the Arkansas River, adding a complete loop between the Rebsamen Golf Clubhouse and the turn-about, then going to the second Verizon entrance closest to Cantrell.
