I know that I went to the hospital yesterday, but the temptation to run was too great. I began conservatively for the first 3/4 of a mile and eased my way into about a 6:20 mile. I was cautious to not overextend myself, and closely watched for any signs similar to yesterday. I felt a bit tired, but besides that, the run went great. Why is it that your body "falls apart" when you really need it to perform, and perform when you don't really need it? Just a question to ponder...

Ran 6.0 miles today in the morning. I was very sore (I don't quite know why), which prohibited me from running very fast. I ran an average of a 6:30 mile, and finished with a 400 meter sprint. In all, a good run.

Ran 1.8 miles at 6:30 pace straight into 6x800 meter repeats. Had 400 meter rest between intervals at 7:45 pace. My splits were as follows: 2:17,2:26, 2:32, 2:36, 2:36, 2:34. After I finished the repeats, I jogged the 1.8 miles back to my dorm at 7:05 pace. I did not run yesterday because I was very sore, so I decided to make today intense to compensate. In all, a very tough but productive workout.

Ran approximately ten miles this morning, but did so on a very tough trail. I began running from my dorm and ran up Flagstaff mtn. road, which begins in the foothills of Boulder, and ascends nearly 2,200 ft. in five miles. The climb was tough, but definitely worth it once the top is reached. ALthough I was running at a slow pace on the ascent, it felt as if I were running a sub six minute mile on flat ground. Coming back down the mountain was bad. I hate pounding my legs against the pavement when the road is a steep downhill. I finished with a 600 meter sprint at the end, and felt good. In all, a good workout.

Ran 10 miles today at 5:00 pm. It was cool and rainy, perfect for a good run. I started out fairly slow, about 7:00 mile, and sped up. I presumed that I was running in the neighborhood of a 6:25 mile, but suprisingly clocked off 4 miles at 5:50 pace. It was suprising that I could achieve this type of mile time without really pushing hard. It felt decently comfortable, and I cruised through the remainder of my run, finishing with a steep hill.

Ran 9.3 miles today at easy pace (6:45 mile). I felt good throught the duration of the run, but think that I might need to step up the length of my easy runs to get a good workout. I feel that today may have been too easy, which is good in a way (it allows me to recover from intense workouts), but I also feel that I can improve more if I lengthen these runs. In all, however, a good run. Oh, first 50+ mile week!
