Long aerobic threshold tempo today. I haven't done this workout in about a month. I warmed up 1.5 miles. I ran 3 miles at 6:42 average, three miles at 6:29 average, three miles at 6:12 average, and three miles at 5:58 average for a total of twelve miles. Last time I ran this workout, I made eleven miles. Still working up to sixteen, but today was pretty tough the last couple of miles. 6:21 average. I only cooled down half a mile.

Eight miles, nice and easy. My calf is a little tight aftet yesterday's tempo. Otherwise, I felt pretty good after a hard day. I can feel my fitness improving. 7:30 average.

I planned on a track workout, but my right calf is still feeling a little tight, so I stayed off of the track. 25 minute warm up. 20 x 1 minute on/off. The last one I ran hard until I hit 9 miles, which was about .4 miles. Cooled down home. 10.6 miles. 7:06 average.

I meant to get 18 in today to hit 7average0, but I was starting to crash the last couple of miles, so I finished at 16.2. I will save 70 for next week. My running schedule was screwy, since Teren had early meetings that lasted until afternoon. It's hard to get an eating schedule down when I run in the afternoon. I did gu at 10, but it didn't last.

It was pretty windy this afternoon. I ran out the river trail to the north for 45 minutes, and then came back south for almost seven miles. I climbrd Winchester, and then came back north, so the last three miles were uphill and into the wind.

Since everyone else tempoed today, I threw some harder miles in.

7:23, 7:00, 7:09, 6:57,6:58, 7:00, 6:56, 6:44, 6:41, 6:43, 6:46, 6:35, 6:28, 6:57(Winchester hill), 6:44, 6:30, 1:22.

6:51 average, with 7 to 16 at 6:40 average.
