Out Of Breath

Nice easy run after church. It was a cool and sunny afternoon.Felt great to get out and enjoy the weather.

I ran 1/4 mile intervals today. I ran 2.57 for a warm up and then started. I would run the 1/4 and then jogg back the same for a recover. Here are the splits...5:54 , 5:47 , 5:31 , 5:46.

Jogged back home for the cool down.

I woke up this morning and carried the kids to school and went for a run. My legs are a little sore from the intervals yesterday but I figured that everything would be ok after I got warmed up.

The air was a little nippy as I started but soon I was just fine and sweating. I could feel the soreness in my legs and hips the entire run and it was difficult at times to maintain a good pace. Tomorrow will be a rest day because I am working tonight.

Today I went out for a afternoon run at 12:30pm. I tried to increase the pace every mile and felt pretty good accept for the cool wind in my face. Probably about 15mph and gust up to 30 mph. I dont like the wind!! 5.29 miles / 8:38 pace.  Here are the splits...9:11 , 8:52 , 8:39 , 8:30 , 8:16 , 7:41.                                                                                                        When I got home my day turned bad. My wife called me from work and said that my teenage daughter had called her from school and said that a female student had taken her own life at the school. When I picked up my daughters from school and we got home we had a long talk about problems that we face and that they could come to us at any time  no matter what the subject. Please pray for this family and communicate with your childeren!!

After the events at my daughters school yesterday I needed a good run to clear my head.

It was a little cool but the run did me some good and my legs felt good. It seems that these longer runs are helping me.

Seven miles is the most that I've done in a while.The last 2 miles were 7:44 & 7:43/pace.
