The Next Step

I think I can just skip the weather part.  Same old story.  I just did an easy 6 miles before church this morning.  I felt good but just ran easy.  Nothing really special just try to stay consistent.

Dallas, TX:  I flew down yesterday morning then had a bunch of stuff blow up at work and couldn't get a run in yesterday.  Today was crazy too but was able to squeeze in 5 miles after my conference and before dinner meeting.  I ran on the TM because it was 100 degrees outside.  I did a couple of miles warmup and then picked it up to MP and ran 3 miles.  I felt pretty good but not the best.  It was just nice to get some miles with everything going on.  This is our busiest time of year so I guess it is to be expected.

Dallas, TX: Got up real early to get a run in.  I ran on the hotel TM because the area was not the best for running plus it was dark.  I just took it easy and felt pretty good the whole way.  Nothing special just really busy and trying to get the running in.

Back in Indiana and it was a beautiful morning.  It was around 60 and calm. I felt good and the running came easy.  I ran easy and then added 6 x 100m strides at the end.  I felt like I could have pushed it today but I am going to try a long run in the morning and thought I would hold back for that.  This has not been a good week so far running wise but just glad to be able to get out.

Today was school picture day and with two teenage girls getting ready there was a lot going on around the house this morning.  Because of this I was not able to get out as early as I planned so had to cut the run short.  It was a nice morning but I felt a little sluggish today and just ran easy.  I am going hiking over the weekend so will miss the next couple of days running.

Went hiking in the Smoky Mountains with my wife and a few friends.  Did around 6 miles with about 2000 ft of elevation gain.  Had a good time and enjoyed being in the outdoors.
