Running Around

Another early morning, crisp, fall run.  I need to start picking up the milage soon.

Franklin loop in the rain.  Ran with Gunner today.  He did pretty well.  Maybe this dog will be a good running partner after all.

I've had 2 months of EASY/NO running.  I now need to kick it up a notch through the winter.  I'm starting week one of another marathon training program. 

Goal: 800 wup; 3x1.5 @ 7:30-800 recovery inbetween repeats; 800 cldn

Actual: 800 wup; 2x1.5 @ 7:50 recovery inbetween repeats; 800 cldn

Ran outside. Echo repeats.  Had to cut it short to come home.  The cold air burns my lungs during tempo runs, but it was sunny and you have to make the most of any sunshine especially as we get closer to winter.  I also am waiting as long as possible before I am forced to join a gym.  

I checked "easy" only because my pace average was slow - 9.38.  It felt hard though running with Gunner.  All that constant jerking, peeing, pooping is exhausting!  It doesn't feel great on my back or knees either.  I've decided I can't take him on tempo runs anymore.  I can only take him on "junk" runs.

Drop lots of time not having Gunner! 8- 8:15 min pace
