Rollin' THUNDER

Today I did 6 miles at about 11:45. It was about 70 degrees, which is a big change from the 40 degrees I had been running in (except on saturday), so it felt a lot hotter than 70. I ran the same route I did on saturday, and I am sure my time was quite a bit slower, but I dont know for sure because my watch died about 1.5 miles in. I got really tired around mile 4. I hadnt eaten in about 6 hours, it was hot, my watch was dead, and I am trying to lose weight by cutting calories, all of those things added up made me tired and groggy around mile 4.

I am doing a half marathon next month, and need a lot of improvement before I can even hope to do well. We will see how it goes.

6 miles at 7:45 p.m. It was about 65 degrees. I wore a long sleeve tech and shorty short shorts. The long sleeve shirt may have been a little much, but it wasn't too bad.

This was a good run. I felt like I had a ton of energy and I was able to just go and go. I was planning on doing 3 x hills, but I felt good and turned it into 5x hills.

My watch is acting up, so again I cant upload my run here. Hopefully I can get that figured out.

9 miles at 6:00 a.m. This was a good run. I went at an easy pace because I didnt want to push to hard, it had only been about 9 hours since I did hills. I averaged a 7:58 pace, and I had a negative split.

6 miles at 6:15 in the morning. It was a windy day, which is never fun but I guess it gives me some resistance training. This was an ok run, I didn't really feel bad or good, just alright.

I woke up at 5:30, looked out the window and saw a lot of wind (kind of). I thought about moving my run to later in the day hoping the weather would improve, but then decided to just do it. I got dressed and went outside and right as I started to run the weather started to snow. It was a real light snow, but it was still snow. My hands were very cold because I couldn't find any gloves. I wanted to take it slow because my left knee felt a little funny yesterday on the anterior lateral side inferior to the patella.

The run went well.

The forecast for last night was snow and cold cold cold. I woke up this morning (around 7:15) and looked out the window to see no snow, and what looked like 50-60 degree weather. My spirits were instantly lifted (I was not looking forward to running in snow). I checked the computer, and it said it was 33 degrees. But it looked at least 50, so I went outside, and it was definitely not 50. Even though it was cold, there was no wind, and the sun was out, so that was nice. 

10 miles at 9:30 am. I felt good throughout the run, and feel like I could have gone more.
