Ran nine miles total today. It was cool because I met a girl that is the sister of a previous CU varsity runner. Severy (the runners last name), is in the book called Running with the Buffaloes, which I am currently reading. It is cool to meet someone that has had hands on experience with the CU running team. From the sounds of it, the program is very intense, but Mark Wetmore (CU coach) will turn you into an all- american in no time, if you don't get injured. In all, a good day of running.

Ran 8 miles total today, 6.5 of which at 6:45 pace and 1.5 miles at 6:00 pace. I ran the fastest at the end to try and build up my aerobic capacity, since I feel that it is my limiting factor.

Ran 5 miles at 5:30 pace today, which was decently difficult becasause I was running on loose gravel/dirt. Ran a one mile warm up.

Only ran 4.5 miles today at easy pace because I did not have much spare time. I will make up for the short run tommorrow, though. I plan on running 11+ miles.

My longest run yet! I ran 15 miles on a dirt/gravel trail along the highline canal. The canal has mile markers, so I went up to 7.5 and back. I completed the full run in 1:38 flat, which averages out to a 6:32 mile. By about mile 13, I was ready to fall over and die, but I managed to squeeze every ounce of energy out of myself to finish the run. I think that runs such as this will help build my aerobic capacity to where it should be. What a workout!

Ran 6.5 miles today in 37:44, which averages out to about a 5:50 average mile. I felt bad, however, during the run. Since I ran 15 miles on Friday, my stamina seems to be shot. I tried to hold on to a faster paced mile but it was unsuccessfull. It felt as if I were pushing against a stone wall every time that I took a new step. I guess my time was not bad, but I know that if I had full strength then I would be able to push harder. I ran a .5 mile cool down.
