The Next Step

It was super windy outside today around 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph and I didn't feel like messing with the wind so ran inside on the TM.  Felt good today and the running came easy.  Didn't really push it but planning a tempo tomorrow so hope I feel the same.

It was rainy and 30mph+ winds today from Sandy so stayed inside on the TM.  Today planned a 4 mile tempo around 7:00 pace.  The last couple of tempos didn't go well so thought I would be conservative and make sure to get through it.  Did 2 miles easy then did the 4 tempo miles in 7:03, 6:58, 6:53 and 6:49. Felt pretty good the whole way and didn't have to push very hard.  It is hard to judge on the TM but still was happy about the run.  Looking forward to the next tempo on the roads to get a better measure of where I am at with my training.

It was cold and windy today.  Not as windy as the last few days so was able to get outside.  Temp was around 36 so with the wind felt pretty cool.  Just took it easy today.  Nothing special just trying to get in the miles.  Felt pretty good running after I warmed up.

Nice day today.  Temp around 50 but pretty windy.  Felt good today and ran easy most of the way.  Added 6 x 100m strides toward the end.  Need to get the legs used to running faster again.  Hoping to build up to some speed work soon.

Nice day out today with temp around 50 and windy.  I didn't feel the best today.  Just a little sluggish.  Had to do the long run today since I will be working at school all day tomorrow for girls musical set.  It was nice to get the miles in and the pace was good just not a lot of bounce in the legs.  Still building up so I expect this.

Cool and misty rain today.  Temp around 40 but no wind.  Felt ok today after longer run yesterday.  Just took it easy today for a nice recovery run.  Turned out to be a pretty good week.  Definitely something to build on.
