Long May You Run

10 miles out and back from home.  Slow recovery run.  1:35:09  9:31 ave pace.  No desire to go any faster, no strength either.

8:26 ave pace

5.15 am miles  good run, felt strong, fast and light.

4.65 pm miles.  What a difference a few hours makes.  Sluggish, arms and legs were doing their own seperate things, nothing felt right.  I'm glad it was a short run.  

Warm day, wore shorts.  Looking to do a lot of miles tomorrow.  Maybe I'll hit 20 total. 

5.65 am miles 50:18   8:54 ave pace

14.35 pm miles 2:10:27  9:05 ave pace.  Up B St. over to the Capitol, back to 11th ave up to the gate above Shriners then home.  Lots of up and down.  I'd like to do 20 again tomorrow, we'll see.  I'm holding my mileage pretty well.  Monster March Miles! 

4.65 am miles 

10.65 pm miles slow pace about 9:20 ave.  I am hammered.  When I'm cruising around 8:30 ave pace I often wonder "how can I possibly have runs that hit 9:20 and sometimes 9:40".  Well, I'm hammered, that's why.  I glad I got these miles in.  My body seems to like the run-when-you're-exhausted formula.  Tonight was one of them. 

4.65 miles

10 miles out and back from home.  1:32:07   9:13 ave pace.  Still running slow.  I guess the training is working.  I did one of those roll out of be and 10 minuets later your on the road type of runs.  I like this because it gets my run out of the way early.  I hit the road at about 5:15 and home at about 6:45 just in time of have morning coffee with my wife.  The only problem with this type of run is that I am extremely regular with my morning bathroom visit between 6:15 and 6:30.  

The last few miles of this run was very uncomfortable.  I need to hit the road earlier or run shorter next time.  I was afraid that this was going to be an issue today and I was right.

I wanted 80 miles this week but fell a little short.  I should hit it this week because I'll be going 20 on Saturday.
