I ran 12 easy miles today and felt very good. There were a lot of hills mixed in, so this definitely served as a decent workout. At the end, I spotted another runner. The situation was too tempting to resist, so I sped up to about a 5:50 mile and caught him with about a half mile left. I don't quite know why I do this, but man does it help you push a bit at the end of a run. In total, though, a very good run!

I ran an easy 5.5 miles today at easy pace. My workout schedule calls for an easy, short run after the run that is 25% of my weekly volume (yesterday). I believe that this is meant to allow me to fully recover before returning to training. As of now, I am only doing easy miles, but within the next couple of weeks, strides will be thrown in with short fartlek workouts to prepare me for faster speeds. I know that my coach will pick the right workouts for the right time, so I don't want to over-analyse my workouts. I figure that if I do what he says (seeing as he has coached for a college team), I will be properly prepared for Bolder Bolder and next years CU tryouts.

I ran 7.5 easy miles today. Tommorrow will be the weeks 2nd longest run, comprising 75%-80% of the weeks long run (12 miles). My IT bands seem to be doing very well, so I should be good to go.

I ran 9.5 easy miles today, nothing too special. I felt good, although my legs did feel a bit heavy. Besides that, a decent workout.

I only ran 7.5 miles today at easy pace. It was a bit cold, and I soon found out that I was underdressed for the occasion. Once I got a little ways into the run, however, I warmed up a bit. In all, a good run.

Only a short run today, which is good because I did not feel much like running today. I had a statics final today at 7:30 am, after studying until 2:00 am the night before. After the test, I crashed for a couple of hours. When I woke up, running was not on the top of my "want to do" list but I knew that all I had was a short run, which was manageable. I accidently wrote each entry a day early this week, so it may look like I will skip two days, when I am only taking one day off this weekend.
