Run Life

PM: Ran 10 miles solo in around 620-630s just to loosen up the legs. Took a 20 minute break or so while Katie got ready to run the last 5 with me. Marilyn joined us for our 2 lap run around OC on a pretty windy day. Last 5 where nice and easy while I pushed Matthew. Now to rest up for the rest of the week and get ready for this weekend. 

AM: 10 miles in the morning in preparation before the snow storm. This is going to be a laid back mileage wise week. Ran 4 miles in about 21:10, starting out at 5:30 and dropping down to about 5:07 last mile. Felt really good, legs felt quick and rested. Probably one or two more days of this kind of mileage and then running really easy  miles the last few days leading up to Little Rock. 

PM: 4 miles evening run on the dread. Bummer that the OKC blizzard just skipped right over us. Looks like a school day tomorrow. Was hoping for a snow day and some quality sleeping in time.  

PM: Ran 11 miles easy at Hefner out and back with Ian. Ran nice and steady for about 7:20 pace. Legs felt a little slow at the start due to sitting pretty much most of the day. had a long day at the school with clinic, class and a test. Didnt get home and showered after the run till about 7 tonight. Need to get some shut eye early tonight. One more quick workout tomorrow then the next three days will be easy easy miles. Looking forward to the weekend. 

AM: Morning 4 mile run.

PM: 8 mile pm run after a long day at the school. Felt good though, legs feel rested. Did one more quick touch up workout to get the bugs out. Ran 2 miles at 5:20 first mile and 2nd mile at 5:07. Then finished up with 4x400s at 75s with 400m rest imbetween. Happy with how the legs felt, excited for this weekend. Forecast looks pretty ideal for a good marathon. Temps in the low 30s to high 20s with a hight of 46. Looks like a lot of sun forecasted but temperature wise it should be pretty ideal. I feel like some of my best performances are in cooler weather temps, I seem to keep the hydration under control then. Excited for the parents to come out and cheer us on this weekend. Going to be a good one.  

PM: Late 8 mile run after a long day at the school. Just a test and one more appt tomorrow morning and then off to Little Rock for the weekend! Pretty excited about this weekend and marathon. Feeling pretty good, just a matter of resting up now. Been a long week, so ready to kick up the feet and enjoy some resting the next two days and preparation for the race. 

PM: 5.5 easy run before the trek to Little Rock. Feeling good after some 200m strides. Excited for the weekend. Know just chill time. Hays in the barn. Or atleast it should be. 

AM: 4.5 miles with jason and scott on Little Rock's finest river trail. Then a handful of strides with some minor drills after. Ready to rumble now, weather is set up for a good morning of running!
