10 miles easy @ an average of 7:12 pace.  

Beautiful weather outside today.  I will have to enjoy it before the disgusting DC heat and humidity descends upon the area for 3 months.

Easy 7 @ 7 min. pace. I guess it is my birthday today but it was like any other Monday.

4 miles easy @ 6:00 a.m. this morning about 7:45-8:00 min pace average

7 miles easy @ lunch break today at about 7:00-7:10 pace average.

 

I'm currently working on base miles to safely get me up in the consistent 60-70 range for the summer.  I'll start doing maybe one hard effort a week (tempo or low key race) and work up to an additional day of longer intervals.  However, I can only go as far as my body will let me and I must work on getting consistent mileage without getting hurt.

Easy 7 @ lunch break.  Great weather but the heat will be returning.  I'm sore from the increased mileage but totally not destroyed because I haven't been doing any workouts.  I need to do some hill sprints though.

Easy 10 @ noon + barefoot sprints, drills, etc.  Usual core and push-up routine.

Feeling tired and dehydrated today.  It was rough the last 3 miles.

Easy 10 miles.  

Getting warm.  I need to drink more water.  Very tired.  I'm not used to so many miles.  I really don't see any benefit of doing my easy runs any slower than 7:00-7:15 range so I will either have to adjust or take more rest days. I think upping mileage to the 60s when you are used to the 40s is tough, even with all workouts cut out for the time being.  May take a few weeks to get used to.

I've decided to take a day off due to soreness and fatigue. I'm pretty dead tired and I don't want to get injured jumping my mileage straight into the 60s.  I should probably stick to the 10 percent rule and be patient.  I'll aim for 60 miles next week. After all I've only been back to consistent running for about a year.
