long run today, 14 miles. Felt pretty decent, even hit 3 miles below 7 so GMP. weather was ok, 39 degrees, wc around 35. accidentally stopped my watch after mile 6 instead of hitting split so for my 7th mile I felt it best to just give myself a split right at my avg pace. Otherwise i managed to get the rest of my splits:

1- 7:24.7

2- 7:18.8

3- 7:14.6

4- 7:12.5

makeshift uptempo run today, decided to go out hard-"ish" the first 3 miles and hit GMP. My schedule is messed up this week with added hours at work so i have to change my speed work up. Gonna just do one hard tempo on thursday so i decided to supplement today's easy run with some faster stuff. 25 degrees, splits:

1- 6:59.6

2- 6:50.7

3- 6:42.3

4- 7:33.9

5- 7:20.4

TOTAL-- 35:26, 7:05 avg pace

I put miles 3 and 4 all the way out to the hundredths spot to show how close they were. I think that indicates how steady I was running today.

Not a great workout today. Was going to try for 6 mile tempo, but due to several factors, i ended up with just enough energy for 2x3200, individual mile splits at 6:04, 6:11, 5:58, 6:20. The limiting factors were running on an empty stomach, running soon after waking up, and weights yesterday. Just kind of a perfect storm of negative factors and to top it all off, the weather is in the mid20s with windchill at 14. I still put up a lot of miles because after being frustrated with my workout I decided to bury my legs with mileage. No more morning speedwork or at least not without breakfast.
