Very easy paced 5 miles today. Still really sore from saturday, especially my calves, i think my flats may be nearing the end of their lifespan. 

1- 7:06.5

2- 7:32.5

3- 7:27.4 (22:06, 7:22 pace)

4- 7:34.8

5- 7:29.9

Total-- 37:11 (7:26 pace)

Overall, not as slow as I wanted to go, but it felt really slow, that first mile was a surprise with how sore i was. Will prolly do very similar pace for maybe 6 tomorrow. 5k this weekend and then maybe thinking about running my first full at the end of december, so I will be getting my mileage up after this week.

Whew, i was just dead today. My legs had nothing in them. My calves are still really sore. 6 miles in 45:35 or 7:36 pace. I just felt awkward running from the first step. Maybe should have gone shorter today.

Repeat 400s today, 14 of them to be exact with equal recovery.They were a little slower than usual because of the 20 mph headwind on the backstretch + the sleet and freezing rain. Overall, not pleasant weather. Total time for the 3.5 miles of 400 repeats was 18:49 or 5:22-5:23 per mile pace. Not bad considering the elements. 2.5 total w/u and c/d.

Although today's miles are classified as easy, they were far from it. Temps in the mid-30s with wind chills in the 20s, pouring down cold rain was the weather. Got thoroughly soaked. 4.5 miles in 32:36 or 7:15's. Started off with a 6:58 but then reined it in and slowed down.

Today I ran Des Moines Race for the Cure. 25,800 people showed up so that was pretty awesome. Got 5th, the course was long im pretty sure, the winner was a guy who always runs mid to low 15s and he was at 16:30, and I felt at least 17:30 was more realistic for what I ran. I woulda guessed the course was 3.3-3.4. Didn't get my splits cuz the miles werent marked, but it was a fun race for a great cause! Second year in a row medalling at this event!! Really glad that so  many people came out for such an awesome cause!!
