I ran 10.5 miles today with a few random pick ups, but in total, ran at an average pace of around 6:40 per mile. There was nothing too special about todays run, just an ordinary workout.

Starting today, I am beginning a new training plan. After going into Boulder Running Co. I lucked into a college coach who is taking time off to pursue his running career. I was asking some general questions, and seeing how new a runner I am, he decided that he would help coach me. I am very grateful, since he is taking time away from his own running to help me. He plans on creating a multi-peak season for me. One peak will take place at the Bolder Boulder in late May and one will take place at next years cross country tryouts. As of now, my mileage will drop to 45 miles/week, but will steadily increase as time progresses (we still have 26 weeks before Bolder Boulder). I have faith in his coaching strategys, mainly because he (himself) has run a sub 14:30 5k using this type of training plan. What luck!!!

I ran 7.5 miles today at fairly easy pace (6:40/mile) and felt good. Since I now have a set schedule of workouts, it takes away the questioning that I usually ask myself after runs. Basically, since someone is "formulating" workouts for me, the whole thinking aspect is removed. I like this, mainly since I am stressed enough going through engineering. All I need to do is follow the workouts he lays out. My IT bands are feeling very good now.

I ran 9.5 miles today at easy pace. I felt very good, but the weather ended up being a bit colder than I expected. As usual, I wore a t-shirt and shorts, which turned out to be the wrong combo for today. My core was fine, but extremities such as hands and legs were freezing. I should have guessed judging by the amount of snow on the ground. In all, though, I felt very good.

I ran seven easy miles today. Nothing too special happened, but it did feel good to get out and run.

I ran six easy miles today. I had to cut it short to keep my mileage quota, which I still exceeded by a bit. Next week I will run another 45 mile week.
