5.750.002.750.000.008.50

8.5 total miles today. I began with the usual 2.75 mile uphill tempo, but felt really bad. I ran it in 15:25 (26 seconds off my pr for this route), but there was a fairly large headwind. I am sure this slowed me down, but I just did not feel up for any tempo running today. I think that a portion of running lies in picking your battles to fight, and today was one that was not worth fighting, so I ran another 5.75 miles at easy pace. I am going to run some easy miles tommorrow, and try again on Wednesday. Hopefully, I will have my act together by then.

11 miles today at easy pace. I felt bad at the beginning, but as the run went on I began to find somewhat of a groove. This is the first time in a couple of days that I felt "ok" while running. I am hoping that this little episode is behind me so that I can continue with some hard workouts.

Ran a total of 8.5 miles today with a 2.75 mile tempo run and a one mile speed workout. I ran the 2.75 mile tempo (uphill) in 15:22 with a strong headwind. I felt a bit better than yesterday, but still feel a bit beat. I then ran a one mile speed worout in 4:52 to keep sharp, and surprisingly, this mile was not very hard. I think that my legs are what is holding me back. After a 14 miler last week (ran at about 6:30 pace) this phase seemed to hit. I think that the combination of the long run at decently fast pace and the amount of hill running I completed last week is responsible for all of this. I had this problem earlier this summer after a 15 miler at 6:30 pace. It took me at least a week to feel to completely better afterwards, so I think that this may be the case once again (at least I hope!). In all, a decent workout.

I planned on an easy run today, but I ended up running with a few other people who decided it was a good idea to do some hill tempo runs. I couldn't back out, so I decided to join them. I felt ok today (a bit better than yesterday), but still a bit under the weather. I ended up running 9.5 miles total, and I felt decently tired at the end. No matter what opportunity comes up tommorrow, I am going to run easy. I feel like I need some recouping time, which keeps getting delayed by strenuous workouts.

I ran ten easy miles today, and it felt good. I am definitely beginning to feel better than before (I think my body need a bit of time to recoup). I had a some "issues" with the good old stomach today (doesn't this always hit when you're on a good run?). I'll hold the brutal details, but it had to be a creative stop because there was only about fifteen to twenty feet on each side of the path. Bushes (thorn bushes at that), definitely lent out a helping hand today. In all, a good run.

I decided to take it easy again today so that I can hit training hard next week. Feeling a bit jittery, I decided to run a mile speed workout, and did so in 4:43. I don't quite know how I hit this fast of a mile, mainly because the amount of effort I put in did not feel like a 4:43 mile, more like a 5:00 to 5:10. In all, I feel recovered and I am going to get another good week of training in before my 5k on Thanksgiving.
