Easy miles. Butt/ham feeling better. Just a pull, no pain. Will keep running easy. Also had gotten a little slack on stretching rolling routine, so must get back to that. Feels good to be building base mileage though!

10 easy at around 8:00 pace. Last mile more like around 7:30 because I tried to jog past a dude running about 15-30 seconds slower than me... that couldnt stand to be passed by a girl. So he sped up to about 7:30. I let him go the first time, but he couldnt hold it and slowed down again. This time I passed him. He tried to race again, running around 7:00min/mile. Im like, really? Dude, you are not less of a man because I happen to be running faster than you today. For all I know, you did a 20 mile tempo run yesterday, and you are doing some easy recovery miles. Everyone has their own pace for their own reasons on any particular day. Just get over it.

 Anyway, this time I sped up and held it to pass him. I hate being sucked into that crap, but it felt a little bit good when he dropped off ;)

Easy miles, around 8:10 average pace. Windy for the first four, then easy for the last four. Wanted to go longer but I had to work.Tried to finish the last mile fast (HM-10K pace) but my hip flexor felt weird and weak, and my hamstring started twinging so I backed off and went home. Kind of a "meh" run.

Have worked about 23 days in a row now. At least I can get in some good mileage. I peaked at 45 last cycle, so Im aiming for 50-55 this cycle because.... Ive decided Im going to run my first marathon this year! May 5 New Jersey. Looking forward to it.
