11 miles at 5:30 am. I felt a little sluggish for the first 4-5 miles, but I eventually got into a groove that felt nice and relaxed, and somewhat fast. It is always nice when you feel relaxed and are running a decent pace. Towards the end of the run I knew I was close to averaging 7:30's so I pushed it the last mile, which is uphill for more than half of it. It felt good do run hard up a hill, it has been a while since I have done that.

Today was my birthday, and for my present I gave myself another day of running. I had thought a while back that I would take today off, but what good would that do me?

11 miles at 10ish am. This was supposed to be a 9 mile run with 6x800's, but I miss judged how far away the track was. I ran 4.18 miles then started the 800's. After each 800 (2 laps) I would run 1.5 laps at a slower pace then do it again. It was going well until the 2nd one where I got a very bad stomachache. It was hard to just push through and finish, but I had to do it. My legs felt good, my HR felt good, my lungs felt good, I felt good except my stomach was killing me and it forced me to slow down a bit. Unfortunately this run was not normal in anyway, so I don't know what caused the stomachache.

8 mile tempo run at 10:30 am. I did 2 miles at what I normally do the first 2 miles, then I increased my pace gradually over the next 3.5 miles hitting my peak pace at about mile 6-6.5. The rest of the 7th mile was still faster than regular pace. I tried to run the last 2 miles at a slower pace to cool down.

Overall this was a good run. I felt a little tired the first mile and really thought about just doing an 8 mile run rather than the tempo portion of it. I am glad that I convinced myself to stick my original plan.

19 miles at 6:30 am. I took a gu about 30 minutes before I left. I ran this relaxed and wasnt trying to push myself or hit any specific pace, I just wanted to run relaxed. I took a gu at about mile 7 and again at about mile 14, I also took a #1 potty break around mile 6. 

This was a good run, I am pleased with my pace and Avg HR. And this run put me at 72 miles for the week, my longest week ever, and first 70 mile week!
