Doing What I Can

after a much needed day off, i got right back at it today. pretty decent weather, actually a bit warm by the end of the run. splits:

1- 6:59.4

2- 6:57.3

3- 7:02.6

4- 7:07.0

5- 6:57.1

6- 7:03.3

7- 6:56.8 ( 49:03, 7:00 pace)

8- 7:19.8 uphill

TOTAL-- 56:23, 7:03 avg pace, a nice smooth run, splits were very even

tempo--ish today. started out with a warmup mile (hit 6:51, gmp) then threw it down into gear, the next couple of splits were like this (continuous and consecutive)

1- 5:56.1

2- 5:59.7

3- 6:05.9

4- 6:00.4

24:02-- 6:00.5 pace

then continued through .3 on the next mile before i abruptly stopped, just feeling winded and my stomach was upset. ran the next mile easy-ish, 6:51ish, then decided to go hard again and threw down a 5:58.3. did mile cooldown in 7:29.

total of 5 hard miles in 30:00, 6:00 even.

felt good holding that pace, it felt really easy, just had the stomach issues to deal with

total on the day 8 miles in 51:12, 6:24 avg pace, even with the slow mileage at the start and end, not counting the brief stops after mile 5.3 and 7

dead tired today, had absolutely nothing coupled with an early wake up and run, 36:24, 4.75 in 7:40 pace.

snuck in a quick 4 during my crazy hectic day between the GRE and work. 26:57 total, 6:44 pace with one mile at 6:29.

felt very calm and relaxed but was still hitting a decent clip tonight. splits:

1- 6:47.6

2- 6:45.0

3- 6:52.3

4- 6:58.3

5- 7:04.4

6- 7:22.8 (uphill, and even though i ran this split sub7 yesterday, it was tough again todaY)

total-- 41:50, 6:58 avg pace

easy pace today, hit 14:30 on the first 2, 14:03 on the last 2, then ran another .25 in 1:49, overall 30:23, 7:09 avg pace.5k tomorrow am, was gonna be the ten miler but i have been battling illness all week.
