Rollin' THUNDER

7 miles at 5:45 am. It was about 35 degrees. I would have been very comfortable if I had my gloves, but I didn't, so my hands were a little cold. My left knee feels a little funny after this run, so I cant decide what I need to do to help it feel better.

7.5 miles with 6x.25 mile hill repeats on a 62 foot hill.

It was windy, so windy that I got blown off of the sidewalk at one point, good resistance training. I wanted to do a slow jog to the hill, but I found myself going rather fast having the wind at my back most of the way to the hill. I went 2.37 miles to the hill, did 6 .25 miles up and backs, then headed back home for a total of 7.5 miles.

My heart rate monitor apparently went a little skiwompus. It said my max HR was 206 within the first few minutes of my run, and that is absolutely not correct.

Best guess of Avg HR would be about 170

Max probably 173

7.5 miles, I left home at about 7:30 pm. I was feeling really good during this run. I felt like I could push myself and try to run a little faster than I have for my runs lately. I was averaging about 7.09 with a tailwind, and slowed to about 7.19 with the headwind. I feel really good after stretching tonight, we will see how I feel in the morning.

7 miles at 4:15 pm. I didn't go this morning because I had to study for a test. I wanted to take this run easy to recover from pushing myself yesterday, and to save some for my 11 miler tomorrow. I wasn't sore or anything from yesterday, I just didn't want to test myself too much. This was a good run.

11 miles in the wind and cold at 7:00 am. I saw that it was 37 degrees and thought "maybe I will just wear shorts and a long tech, it'll probably warm up as the sun comes out. Then I looked out the window and saw dark clouds and wind. So I thought I should dress warm, and I am glad I did. It was windy and cold the whole run, but it was nice to be out running.

I took this run as an easy run, I don't want to push myself too much. I did hit 50 miles this week. It has been a while since I did that.
