The Next Step

It was around 15 this morning with some pretty good wind so didn't feel like getting outside for my first run in March with a 0 wind chill so stayed in on the treadmill. I did a progression run. I started off easy and felt good so just kept picking up the pace. I worked down to the last mile was around 6:40. It felt like a good run to start off the week. I was supposed to go to DC today but flight was cancelled due to the bad weather so get to spend another day with the family which is nice but still have to go tomorrow.

Another cold morning (8) so ran on the TM.  I just took it easy today.  I felt good and the pace seemed very relaxed.  I am really itching to get some speed work in and to run some races to see where I am at.  I am looking at a couple of 10k or shorter races over the next couple of weeks.  Just need to see which one will fit into the schedule the best.  I will be in DC for a couple of days so hopefully can stay on track and get a solid week in.

Washington, DC.  I had early meetings today so got in 6 miles on the TM.  I felt pretty good but just took it easy today.  Since we lost a day on this trip due to the weather we are trying to cram a lot of meetings into two days so running time will be tough.  I would have like to have gotten two runs in today but probably won't happen.  I will try to do some faster running in the morning.

Late night last night and early morning meetings so was only able to squeeze in 6 miles but at least ran some of it at MP.  I felt good and ran the MP miles between 7:00 and 7:10 pace.  I fly back home tonight so no chance for another run today.

Back home in Indy today and the weather was great (almost 60 but very windy).  I felt good and I think Spring fever got a hold of me because I just naturally picked up the pace.  I had planned on running easy but just went with what the body felt like doing.  I had a couple of miles in the 6:50's but most were around 7:10 - 7:20.  I am now really looking forward to Spring.  It felt so good to be out in shorts and short sleeves but still working up a good sweat.  

 It is going to be hard to get a long run in tomorrow or maybe even any run at all since my sister is coming into town for a visit.  If I can't run tomorrow will try to make it up on Sunday.
