| | Not sleeping well because I can't get the temperature in the hotel room low enough. Maybe the chilly north wind blowing through this evening will help with the issue. Trying to remember to stretch a bit after each run. Left calf/ankle felt fatigued after 3 but no persisting soreness. |

| | Steady jog through the park. Trying to get my miles built back up after the recent travels but also trying to do it sanely and not get injured. Tough pushing through the steady south winds. |

| | A short jog made tough by the strong southwest winds. When I finished my hips were sore and I assume that was due to the effort required to push through the wind. |

| | Got the band on my Garmin Forerunner replaced with a velco wrist strap so it was time to take the improved instrument out for a spin. 7.00 mi in 1:20:49 for an 11:33/mi average pace and burned 899 calories.
Outstanding pace for the distance. If I subtract the cool down running of the last mile my pace during the first 6 was a nice 11:27/mi. I am far from being able to maintain that over a full 13.1 at this point but I am happy with the progress.
Not sure how happy I will be tomorrow morning when the results of today's effort will be felt in my leg muscles.

| | I was struggling to find a way to fit a 9 mile run into my hectic Saturday plans when fortune shined upon me. Kristoffer's dance instructor wanted him to be at the studio for 2 hours tonight so I immediately changed my plan from a 3 miler to a "let's see what we can do" run. Managed to get 9 full miles done. The last 2 were definitely slow but no pain or discomfort beyond the usual tired-of-running stuff.
Now I can take it easy and not worry about trying to wedge runs into a busy weekend.

| | Checked into the hotel, changed clothes and climbed onto the treadmill before I had the chance to complain. |

| | The hotel has far more guests wanting to use the treadmill than they have treadmills. I had to wait in line for my chance to do 7 miles. |

| | So 10.00 miles done in 4x 2.5mi segments. I know the treadmill is less strenuous on your body but without any sort of breeze I had swear pouring off of me quickly. Took breaks at 2.5mi marks because I needed mental rest.
Any way you look at it, there were 2.0 hours of running stored into the legs.
