6 miles in wintry mix today. Very cold, windy day with wintry mix of sleet, snow, and rain. Not fun.

Perfect weather today, 70 degrees and sunny. I actually sweated quite a bit during my 7 miler today. I pushed it a little and managed 7:02's for the entire way, i think I negative split the run actually. Either way, it was a nice day and hopefully i got the last of the soreness out of my legs. Repeat miles tomorrow, should be another gorgeous day.

Repeat miles today. 6x1600 to be exact, and it was no picnic. This was as hard of workout as ive had in a long while. Splits are as follows:

1- 5:39

2- 6:07 (straight into 20 mph winds, changed up my course after this so as to avoid wind and run through town, seemed to help)

3- 5:42

4- 5:44

5- 5:38

6- 5:42

2 mile warmup and cooldown. Total workout time was 34:32 for 6 miles which is 5:45 pace. Overall, very happy with that and the effort i put in today. Like i said, this one was a tough one and I'm glad i fought through and completed it. Nice weather too, 70 degrees again! spring is here!

Recovery 5 this morning. Legs were pretty dead after the repeats yesterday. I've been pushing myself pretty hard lately, like today for instance, i had a pretty hefty negative split on my 5 miles. First 2.5 was 19:10 and the last 2.5 was 18:00. No reason in particular, maybe my legs just loosened up. either way, a nice easy 7:26 pace average for the whole thing and it will help get my legs ready for my saturday 15 long run.

Long run today, wanted to go 15 but intestinal distress caused me to stop at 13. I just couldnt keep fighting it. Ended up running 1:31:26 for 13 miles so thats 7:02 min per mile. I think my problem was that I was under 7 minute pace through 10 miles, so maybe thats why my stomach gave out. Just felt so good today though in the 72 degree weather that I couldnt help but pick up the tempo. I'll get out for 4 or 5 tomorrow to shake out the legs. Overall a great workout, and I should be more happy about it than i am. Just really wanted to get 15 today.

Not fun 6 miler shakeout today. Legs didnt feel too bad, just a muddy mess outside and was having "bear attack" troubles yet again today..makes for an uncomfortable run. Overall, a great week of mileage though, my highest week this year so far! SRD tomorrow as i desperately need a day off.
