I finally got a day off from work and went for a afternoon run. It was cool/cold and windy.

The run started with a head wind and my shoes felt like they weighed 10lbs.each. I was having a hard time getting into the run and mentally I was just not into it.

At 2.5 miles I made a turn and finally got a tail wind and started to increase my pace. I started feeling good and wanted to finish strong.The run ended well and I'm really starting to feel like I am getting faster.(its about time!!) Here are the splits.

8:56 , 8:49 , 8:13 , 7:31 , and the last .33 was 6:32

Tomorrow I will do at least 7 miles.

90 miles for the month is great. that is certainly enough for 5K's in my opinion. Maintain around 90-100 miles/month and throw in some speed here and there and you'll keep improving. Once you pick a goal marathon, then you can start gradually ramping up the miles.
