Ran 5.0 miles at easy pace today, but did so after a soccer game. I was already tired when I began the run, but made it through. I did not run very fast, but still felt like I got a decent workout.

Ran 11 miles total today. I ran a half mile warm up, a 10.2 mile run, and a half mile cool down. For the first half of the run, I tried to restrict myself from pushing too hard and running out of energy. On the second half, I let myself "free" and cruised at good pace. For the first half, my time was 31:15. I ran 30:11 for the second half, finishing with a total time of 1:01.26. The run felt pretty good. I did not need to force my body to move on, and I felt like I definitely had the ability to sprint at the end.

Ran a total of 8.2 miles today. I felt kind of tired for some of the run because of a long schoolday. None the less, I was kind of agitated from a mathcad lab, so I decided to go out hard. I ran the first half mile at 6:30 pace, then sped it up to a 5:20 mile for the next two miles. I felt generally tired, so I slowed to a 6:15 mile and cruised through the end of the run. Felt tired and "blah", but some runs are just like that.

Ran a total of 7 miles today. I ran a 1 mile speed workout (1X800 in 2:21 and 2X400 in 69,72), but felt sluggish. I felt as if I were a robot with constricted movements and my legs were machine-gunned. I think that this has something to do with some fast paced running yesterday. When I was finishing up my easy miles, I saw a runner behind me and slowed to talk to him. When I said "hey" he didn't respond and picked up the pace, trying to drop me. That was it, he needed to see who was in charge. Although I felt a bit tired, I put the pedal to the metal. He kept up with me for a good 500/600 meters, until he slowly faded and eased back into slower pace. I kept the pace going for about 3/4 of a mile and, knowing that he was done, eased back into slower pace to finish out the run. I will begin to lighten the worouts to taper for a 10k on Sunday of this week.

Ran five miles today (day two of my taper for Sunday). I plan to run 3-4 miles tommorrow with a few 100 meter strides to keep sharp. I figure that this way I will keep my running rythmn going, but also rest fully before the race.

Ran a total of five easy miles today to prepare for the 10k tommorrow. I ran slow pace 6:45/7:00 mile and completed five 100 meter strides. It was hard to stop running because it felt like I just got the engine started up, and then it was time to turn it off. My body wanted to do some faster stuff, but I mentally prohibited myself from increasing the pace. I think that the taper I used worked well because I feel sharp and rested. Not too many miles this week because I wanted to feel good for this 10k.
