Did 8 on the treadmill. I finally got a decent run in. It felt so easy and relaxed today. Probably because I have cut back so much the last two weeks. It is kind of like a taper. Too bad I don't have any races to run. I am going to try to get back in the 55 mile range this week but I have a two day trip with my daughter on a church trip so I will probably only be able to get in 5 days this week. Maybe I will try some two a days.

I planned a tempo run and since the roads are still icy I thought it would be best to run fast on the treadmill. Started off with a 2 mile warmup which went good then ran 5 mile tempo. I increased the pace a little each mile and felt good throughout. Only problem was I felt a little bit upset in my stomach from eating too soon prior to the run. Other than that felt great. Here are the splits:

1st - 6:58

2nd - 6:49

3rd - 6:46

4th - 6:42

5th - 6:38

This is a much better start to this week than the last couple. I hope I can keep it up.

Snowing and windy today so another day on the treadmill. Boy am I ready for spring. I do have a trip south coming up in a week so at least that will give me a taste of spring. Today's run went good. No problems just an easy run after yesterday's tempo. I will try to work some speed in to tomorrow's run.

Today I did a fartlik type workout just to get the legs moving a little faster. I did some 1 minute pickups with a couple minutes recovery. I felt good during the run and on the pickups.

Today it was just an easy day. Nothing to exciting which is good because that means there were no problems! Today I am heading on a trip with my daughter's church group for a couple of days. I am not sure if I will get the chance to run but at least I brought my stuff.
