7 miles, 8:06 pace, just like the plan says.  That's supposed to be an easy run.  I think it'll be a lot easier outside.  My treadmill must be out of calibration.  I'll keep doing them on pace, though.  It can only help to run faster than recommended, right?  (barring injury, of course)  Following the run we downloaded Golden Axe on the Wii, and spent the evening playing that classic game.  I thought I was done spending quarters on it, but it got 36 more last night.  We did that until the puking started.  I must have eaten something bad at home or at Apollo Burger.  Obviously, at Apollo Burger, but something even worse than usual.  The festivities ended by 12:34, but this morning I feel like a wrung out dish-rag.  Tomorrow is a 4 mile tempo run at 6:49, plus warmup and cooldown.  I hope I feel up to completing the workout.

Workout schedule called for 6 miles today with 4 miles at 6:49 pace.  I went to the LPT to enjoy the straight flatness, and the .5 mile markers.  The warmup and cooldown went just fine.  The 4 miles at 6:49 crept up to 6:55 pace, because of a bit of a walk break after the third mile.  The headwind for the second 2 miles surely didn't help, but I should have made up for it in the first two.  

After the run, I went and closed two checking accounts.  I love sticking it to the man.  It's good to have the run complete so early in the day.  Now I can look forward to an entire day of honey-do's.

Horrible.  14 hours of core/upper body work over the last 36 hours made this a slugfest.  I was struggling mightily at 10 minute pace, stopped numerous times.  Finished 6 miles in 62 minutes.  Ugly.

15 degrees outside, but sunny.  I had to tend the napping girls, so I stayed inside and watched the Outback bowl.  Yesterday's issues seem to have resolved; I kept things at 8 minute miles.  It's amazing how 25% slower yesterday felt like death, and things felt fine today.  I really overworked with those snowstorms.  Good for the billing cycle,  not for training.  

Week one of Boston training is over.  I kept runs at the recommended paces on 3/4 runs, worked in New Year, and several dozen driveways.  It was all manageable...oh yeah, I only showed up to work ONE DAY.   We'll see how week two and three resolve.  Work this week, then Disneyland the following...
