Rollin' THUNDER

This is what I am going to count as my first training run for my next marathon. Last marathon I trained a little slow, I didnt reqally like it. It made my runs seem like a drag. 

This run was at night and I did 6 miles. I ran down to main street, went on main street for a little while, then headed back.

This run was fun, the first part was down hill, then the second was back uphill. It felt good to kind of push it for a training run. 

Today I did some 800m runs (4 of them). I had a 1.64 mile warm up to get to the track, then I did 800 meters, with a 400 meter cool down, I did that 4 times, then went home. On the way home my right knee hurt a little bit, but no too bad.

I really like this run, this was the first time that I have done any track work, I really enjoyed it. 

This was my long run for the week. I didnt run yesterday to give my knees a rest. I am hoping that they will be able to handle some running mixed in with some rest when they hurt me a little bit, we will see.

This was my fastest avg mile run this year. Hopefully I can keep it up. My knees didnt hurt, but I did feel a little tired. Overall it went well. 

My training schedule said to run 3 miles, but I feel that if I want to reach my goals I need to put in a few more miles per week than what it is asking, so I did 6.

I wanted to run fairly fast today to get my heart rate high for a while. I feel like todays run went great. It was raining for most of the time, but I love running in the rain, so it was fun. It was around 60 degrees, and a little bit of wind. Fun run.

5.11 miles, left home at 10:30 pm. I normally would not have done this run, but for my next marathon I have extra motivation (at least I am calling it motivation to be positive, as of now I see it more as an obligation, hopefully that changes). I worked a long day and got home late, then didnt have the drive to go run, so I left late.

My run was supposed to be 6 miles, but I cut it to 5.11 because of a PWRNIT. I think this is my third, and by far the closest to a PIMP.

I started out slow and tired, but eventually got into the swing of things.

Overall this was a good run, ended too short, but I will make up for it on another day this week.

6.38 miles at 10:00 pm. I think this was the distance, my watch battery was dead, so I used map my run. I did a little bit of hill running. I ran the same 1.4 mile route 4 times. It has a big down hill that is about .3 miles long, then a steep uphill that is about .25 miles, then about .9 miles of gradual down hill.

This was an ok run. I really need to change my diet and the time of day that I run, I am really not liking this running past 10 pm thing.

10 mile long run for the week. I took it very easy for the last week and a half to try and give my knee some rest. I ran up the canyon and back.

This was a good run for not having run much for the last little while. However, at about mile 7 I had a sharp pain in my knee where it has been hurting. I slowed down a little and changed my form a hair to try and not hurt it more. About 1/4 of a mile later it happened again, but was good after that. After the run it feels good.
