Good run this morning! A bit hot for my liking, but manageable. I did some core strength drills afterwards.

Today I ran ten easy miles along the highline canal out to Chatfield reservoir. It was 72 degrees when I ran today, which felt great! I think my body has numbed itself to extreme heat, so this felt nice and brisk. I did 9x150 meter strides at the end, and later did some core strength excercises. Good day of running!

I ran eight miles along the highline canal early this morning. The weather decided to be nice to me (80-85 degrees), so running was not miserable. Time for the run: 47:20, each mile progressively faster with the last mile in 5:30.

Relaxing day of running. I took it way easy today and did some core strength drills later. I didn't wear a watch but the pace felt about 7:00/mile. As my running experience progresses, I am beginning to rely much more on time than exact mileage. Typically I will run for a given amount of time and base my pace off feeling . Knowing this I will then calculate my mileage for the day. I used to calculate every leg of every run and factor it into my total mileage, but I soon realized that time running is just as important (to me) as distance run. Granted, there are times when it is necessary to hit specific mile times, but these times are rare. I like the feeling of knowing pace without exact timing. For me, it contributes to an overall sense of control while running.

Today I ran ten easy miles today beginning in the greenbelt and continuing past my old high school. I finished off the day with 8x150 meter strides. I don't quite know how these do it, but they really clean up any discrepancies with form. I have come to rely on them, especially before races. They seem to "numb" me to fast pace, letting my body know that going fast is not necessarily bad. Sometimes that is just what I need. Pacing for races can seem very fast at times, but these seem to really keep that whole scene in check. If you continually get a taste of this pace, then come race time you will not feel overwhelmed.

Today was easy. I am ready for a bit longer run tommorrow. I don't have a day of for three/four weeks, so easy runs will play a much more vital role than before.
