The Next Step

Definitely felt like fall this morning.  Temp 37 but luckily no wind.  I felt good this morning but just planned an easy run.  I crusied along and enjoyed the nice morning.  Starting to feel like I am turning the corning and getting back in shape.  Just need to continue to stay consistent.

Huntsville, AL:  Nice morning today with temp around 50 and light wind.  The plan today was 4 miles tempo around 7:00 pace.  I felt kind of sluggish this morning and did 2 miles warm up.  Started the tempo and didn't feel strong on the first one but felt better as I went along.  The 3rd and 4th miles felt good and I felt strong on those which is a good sign.  Did the 4 miles in 7:03, 7:04, 6:50, 6:36.  Still a long way to go to get back into race shape but getting closer.

Huntsville, AL: Nice morning with temp around 60.  Felt pretty good this morning and planned on running 4 x 1/2 mile at around 6:15 pace with 1/4 recovery.  Did a couple of miles warmup and then ran the 4 repeats.  Was able to hold the pace pretty close to target but was running on road with Garmin so not sure of actual times.  At this point not really important just trying to run some faster stuff to ease back into bigger workouts.  Felt good getting this in and looking forward to getting on the track in a few weeks.

Nice morning for running.  Temp mid 50s and foggy.  Longest run in awhile.  I started off easy and gradually got into a good groove.  Felt pretty good the whole way and glad to be able to extend my long run out a little.  Just trying to continue to build back up.
