10k today. I have never raced a road 10k before. Ive raced longer and shorter and it was difficult to find a good 10k pace. As a result, i didn't run as fast as i wanted, but still ended up near GHMP. Overall, got 7th, got 4th in my age group which stunk because i got passed by the 3rd place guy right at the end. It was good to get a race in though and this one was well organized and had very friendly people. Overall, a fun race, and it let me know that i have a lot to work on.

Rest day! First one in about 2 weeks so definitely a needed break. I will get back at it tomorrow with 7-8 and hopefully get above 40 miles this week!

I felt real good today, nice 7 miles in 7:07 pace. Weather kind of sucked though, windy, cold, and sleeting in my face. O well, it only makes me more mentally tough. Tomorrow will be hard--7 mile tempo, pretty long, but very necessary with the eisenhower half marathon next weekend.

Today was a tempo day. 7 miles in  43:10 or 6:10 min/mi pace, which is right about goal half pace. I felt really good today til the end when i had some stomach issues, probably cuz of the afternoon run. It was also quite windy. I had to stop for about a minute at 2.75 miles because a stupid dog ran after me. He ended up getting hit by a car actually..i felt bad, but he was okay, he just limped off. That kind of sucked cuz i was in the zone til that stop, but i found it again and ended up putting in a very nice workout. Im really happy with my pace. 1.5 warmup and cooldown total.

Today was a recovery day. It was the 5 miles that would seemingly never end. My legs were just tired and the run just dragged on, not a fun one, especially in the morning since i dont have any time today to run otherwise. Very slow pace--7:35 per mile, but very much needed as my legs were sore and tired from yesterday's extended tempo.

Today was the farthest i have ever run. A tad over 14 miles, in 7:02 pace! 1:38:30, i was at 1:31:50 at the half, so a very good run today. Im super pumped up about it! The weather was just absolutely perfect and my legs felt great. What an awesome day!
