Shorter run this evening. Hopefully something longer on Tuesday.

Pretty amazing lightning storm, followed by rain, just as I was finishing.

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 55:03

Ran 31 minutes as a steady warm-up, then did a 20 minute tempo run at about 6:07/mile pace. This felt really easy and smooth, so I was happy about that.

Ran in the dark again at 9:30 p.m.

Treadmill - 46:37

Ran easy this evening. Wimped out by avoiding the rain storm that was going on outside. Didn't feel great, but got through it.

5 mile warmup; 9 x road loop; 1 mile wd

Sleep deprived this week, and my nutrition today sucked (3 donuts and coffee in the morning. Carl's Jr for dinner. Wow...). It wasn't a beautiful run, but I got in a decent workout at least. Started with 5 miles at just under 7:30/pace on the canals, then did 9 x 880m -900m on a loop around a "senior citizens" area with a care center and condos for 55 and older. At least there wouldn't be a lot of speeding traffic, I reasoned.

I did the loops at about 5:50/mile pace(3:15) and took short recoveries (under a minute).

Greenbelt + Castle Rock - 1:09

 Recovery run, as my legs felt like crap. Ran 23 minutes on the greenbelt to Castle Rock trail, 23 minutes on the trails, and 23 minutes home. Nice symmetrical run. Felt better as I went on.

Treadmill - 40:30

Five slow, slow miles to end the week. I watched Jeff Tweedy's acoustic DVD which passed the time somewhat. Not the best week of running I've had. Here's to next week.
