4 then bear attack struck with full force, kind of unexpected, made the last 1.5 very uncomfortable..but i did make it back...barely. first 2 miles were both 7:05, pretty steady early..never got in a rhythm. 40:00 total for 7:16 avg pace, althought most of the last mile was interrupted with "don't crap your pants" stops for about 30 sec intervals.

5 mile slogfest this morning, weather wasnt actually too bad, just felt like i was running in wet cement cuz my legs were apparently tired. 37:54, 7:35 avg pace. strides after

 side note, since my sickness, ive hit 37.5 in the last 7 days for 5.4 a day, not too shabby as im trying to build, now i need to decide if i should take a day off this week..

weather is awful today, makes sense given all the good weather we've been blessed with lately. it was 10 degrees with wc's between -10 and 0 with 30mph winds, so definitely not a day i was gonna run outside. decided to hit the treadmill for a "long" run of 9 miles, the treadmill only runs for 60 minutes so i had to pause quickly to restart it near the end of the run. splits on my watch taken during each mile on the mill:

1- 7:15.3

2- 7:02.3

3- 6:58.4

4- 6:48.2

5- 6:50.1

6- 6:49.4

7- 6:37.6 really cranked the mill up here

8- 7:06.9

9- 7:08

total-- 1:02:37, 6:57 avg pace

felt pretty good overall today
