| Another long run for me today. It was very windy and I to double back on my route a couple of times today because the streets were flooded. My legs were beginning to ache as they have not adjusted to the longer distances yet. But they will...right?? |

Long run for me today. I am slowly trying to increase my mileage. (11.14 miles) My legs got tired around mile 8 but recovered and started feeling pretty good by the end of the run. That helped my confidence.
I will start posting my times when they get more respectable.
(9:30's) :( |

Cold day for a run!! 29 Degrees with a 15 - 20 mph north wind.When I left I had a good tail wind but on the way back it was tough.I kept about 8:00 - 8:15/pace for the first part of the run but I even had to walk a couple of times on the way back trying to keep my face from frost bite. OUCH!!!
The good part was that after 7 miles my legs felt VERY fresh.
Overall about a 9:20/pace.

Another COLD day today...27 degrees and a slight wind from the north.My run went a little better today because the wind wasn't as strong, but still cold. I got cold yesterday when I had to face the wind so I dressed warmer today and over did it! I weighed about 8lb's. more and got soaked with sweat.I developed a few areas of tender skin around mile 5 and that slowed me down a little.(If you know what I mean).
2 of the miles were between a 7:20 - 7:30 /pace.
8.06 miles at around a 9:12/pace. |

I dont mind the cold but this north wind is killing me!! 32 degrees and a 15-20mph wind.
Its the same old story.... I had a tail wind on my way out but on the way back it was cold. Mile 2 was at a 7:43/pace and mile 6 was at a 7:27/pace. The other miles were at a slow pace.I hope the wind is better tomorrow because I plan on going for a long run. |

Long run today and the weather was much better.40 degrees and a light south wind.
I got a pretty tired today, I wonder if I need to take a rest day the day before my long run. Yesterday I ran 7.5 and felt great. Also does does anyone have any advice on running socks? |

The weather was great today. 56 degrees and a slight south wind.My legs were a little sore from yesterday but after about a half mile they felt pretty good.I think my long runs are helping.I just seem to feel better during my runs at a faster pace.Time will tell.

| Long run today. The weather was great, 50 degrees and a very slight wind. My legs were pretty tired by the end. I'm trying to slowly build up my mileage.Is there a certain point (distance) when a person should eat during a long run? |

Today I ran 3.25 miles with one mile being a fast mile.I am going to run the Run 2 Calvary two mile race this Saturday in Tuscumbia and really want to do well.My goal is 14:30. One of my miles today was 6:56 and then I felt a little twitch in my right hip like I felt in my long run the other day so I took it easy the rest of the way.The 6:56 mile felt like it was about 85% so I was pleased.Tomorrow I will take a rest and be ready Saturday!!

Today's weather was perfect. A little cool pre-race but when the race started it was about 40 degrees with no wind.
This race was a little bigger than what I thought, 356 runners/walkers total.The course is described as very flat and very fast. I have heard that before so I got there a hour ahead of time and ran the course for a warm up.For the most part it was flat with a few rolling hills.
At the start of the race there were a lot of young kids 6-10 years old at the front of the starting line.When the horn sounded they took off like this was a 100 yard dash! Probably about a 5:00/pace and by the time we had reached 400 meters I was doing my best not to run over them, weaving through them like a maze.Some were even walking by this time.I felt good at the end of the first mile 6:56. We started to reach some of the hills and I backed off just a little. By the time we reached the last 800 meters I found myself behind two runners and even though I said on your left they would not move. I started around on their outside and then one of them decided to move and I almost ate the pavement.After I got myself back together I dropped the pace down to 6:29 and held it there for the last 500 meters or so.
I finished 27th overall and 2nd in my age division.I think that I could have finished under a 7:00/pace but was still satisfied with my time.I got a nice metal and a gift card.
