Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
11.75	4.25	0.00	0.00	16.00

AM: North Side - 6.5 miles, averaged 8:55. Can't remember the last time I ran that pace. Just loafed along, sweaty and cursing.

PM: Impromptu baby aerobic builder. After 1.25 my watch messed up, so I reset it and warmed up another mile to avoid restarting the watch. So 2.25 warm up, 4.25 in 28:56 (6:46 average). 3 mile cool down. Sweaty. 9.5 miles for the afternoon.

Right there with you Jason. Hot humid day after day = slow and sweaty.

I think the dew point is up, which changes the relative humidity, which makes a difference if I recall (I think I was sleeping during class). It just means a fast and fit fall. Today was tough to remember that though. Onward!

Maybe 8:55 pace isn't so bad after all. Nice PM workout.

Thanks! I could see my splits this morning (tired off the old iPod), but rather than fight it I kept pretty even (8:50-9:00) until the last mile (8:20). I was thinking "when you get your mileage back up and get some hard workouts you could benefit from running at this pace." Can we call 8:45-9:15 "JDodge easy"? See if it catches on :)

But then every blog I posted for the next two months would say JDodge easy...people would think I'm some kind of obsessive stalker or something.

I guess it only works among dudes, and with people you actually know :) I'll try to create some kind of catchy workout

Solid day of running Jason. I ran my first half mile today at JDodge easy pace!

Looks like things got MUCH faster. I like the strength you build with 1.5 mile repeats, running a few minutes beyond the mile mark just makes sense to me.
