Philippians 4:13

A beautiful day for a run, sunny and almost 50 degrees with no wind. I went out after church and after taking my son to the community care for an x-ray on his thumb (ends up it was just a sprain from playing tackle yesterday).  I met Andrea and Rocky at the base of Sunnyside hill for a hill workout.  0.5M warmup then tackled the hill for 3.5M at an avg. 7:30 pace, then 3.5M back down at an easy 5:25 pace.  Nice even effort both ways, which felt good after yesterday's workout.  (Stratos 3)

I am on business travel all this week, so I got up early to get a run in before the early flight out.  A really nice 6.5M run on Sunnyside at an avg. 7:00 pace (good for a 4am start).  Hope to get in another run tonight then probably 1 run each day (Wednesday will shoot for 2).  Mileage this week at about 50 miles for the taper.  (Stratos 3)

4M easy after getting into the hotel and going to dinner. Needed to get out and shake out the legs after a day of travel and to work off the dinner. (T3)

6 easy miles early on the rolling hills around the hotel. Nothing special, just a good taper run. Meetings today then off to new location. (T3)

Got done with meetings early and caught an earlier flight to Cincy.  Went to dunner (lunch/dinner) with coworkers, then back to the room to rest.  Got antsy and decided to go for a run in the cool, windy weather.  Did a good hill workout up to Drees Pavillion in the Park and back down.  Up:  7:10 pace, down: 5:40 pace, flat: 6:20 pace.  Overall 5M in 32:04.  Nice run that was not too hard but had some decent strength and speed.  (T3)

OK, 1 more mile as no one was in the bar yet.  (T3)

6.1M early and easy down along the water front and the levee.  Ran through nice neighborhoods and a nice entertainment complex.  Pace was easy and relaxed (7:45) in cool but calm weather.  Nice early morning run overall for my only run today (force myself to stop running, need to rest).  Meetings today then hopefully catch a baseball game tonight!  (T3)

6.25M easy and early down along the river and levee. Nice easy run, some hills going up and down through the neighborhoods and over the bridge. Beautiful view of the downtown skyline all lit up across the river. Meetings this morning then heading home this afternoon. (T3)

10M this morning after dropping the kids off at school. I went with Kami to the gym so she could work out and started my outside run from there in 44 degrees, some sun and just a light breeze. First 2M at slower 6:45 - 7:00 pace, then I started to push up to an easy MP (6:23 ish) for several of the next miles with a couple thrown in at a slower pace. I started to push the pace up at around 7M, averaging in the 6:15ish for the last 3 miles. Overall a good easy MP pace run (avg. 6:30 on the dot), finishing the run in 1:05. Last longer run til Boston, some intervals early next week in my low mileage week leading up to the race. (Stratos 3)

7M on a beautiful morning with McKay and Andrea.  Nice easy start running on Sunnyside through Snake River Landing and back.  Threw in 4 0.5M intervals at goal MP (5:50ish) which felt good and easy.  Now for a day full of activities with the family....Easter egg hunt, dying eggs, making Easter cake, etc.  (T2)

Happy Easter everyone!
