The Next Step

My daughter had to have some medical tests performed this morning so waited to run after work today.  It was a nice day with temps in the upper 60's.  I felt good but just ran easy.  Nothing special just glad to get the run in on a busy day.

It was an awesome morning for running today.  It was right around 50 with no wind.  I had to get back because of meetings and had a very busy day so didn't get to take advantage of the great conditions.  I felt pretty good this morning but just ran easy since didn't have time for much of a workout.

It was really feeling like fall this morning with temps in lower 40's.  I had to bring out the long sleeves this morning which was a first.  I was dragging this morning and didn't feel the best.  This was surprising since I haven't done much running in the last couple of days.  I wanted to do some speedwork today but since I didn't feel the best decided to do a progression run.  I ran the first 5 miles easy and then started picking up the pace.  I didn't feel the best running the faster miles but glad to get in more of a workout.  Here are the splits for the last 4 miles: 7:31, 7:12, 6:54, 6:42.

Another great morning for running.  It was 46 and no wind.  Again today I didn't have a lot of energy.  Just kind of dragging.  I took it easy today and just enjoyed the easy running.  It was especially nice since it was such a beautiful day.  I wish all days were like today weather wise.  This is a great time of year just too bad it only lasts a couple of months.

Another incredible day for running in Indiana.  It was about 47 with some light wind.  I felt better this morning and today wanted to do my longer run since tomorrow is going to be a really busy day.  I started off real easy to get warmed up and gradually picked up the pace as I went along.  I felt good the last few miles but could feel the distance in my legs because I haven't ran this far in awhile.  I am really glad to get a long run in.

It was cool (48) and overcast this morning.  I just did an easy recovery run today.  I started off super easy to get warmed up and felt pretty good.  I am still having some issues with my achilles but it is usually better after I get warmed up.  Today I also had some pain in my right hip.  That is where I had the problem before so I hope it doesn't come back. I need to spend more time stretching and strengthening it.  Glad I got the longer run in yesterday since today is going to be busy plus it is supposed to rain later.
