wow what a day got up a little earlier to get my run before going to get mom out of the hospital thankfully she is getting discharged today feeling much better healthier and stronger than she has for a long time. starting out it was a little misty out not too cold taking the fires two miles at a little slower warming up pace about mile 3 in the river bottoms started to lengthen the stride and get into a nice rythm good breathing ,up to state street air clearing a little feeling great pushing the pace a little faster get into a new zone trying to work myself into some good cardio rangeover to 114th south up to 7th east and back south taking a little side route east to 9th or so east through the neighborhood back to 123rd turning west and another little increase in speed for the trek back west not to the full out pace but feeling it expanding my lungs holding this down through the river bottoms up the other side keeping the turnover constant and up beatback to 27th west turned back north slowing a bit to start warm down very productive day running now off to the hospital on a great spring like day 

another wonderful night on the road although i was not moving all that fast,actually feeling like slow motion lol but glad to be out and going planned on 13 but having such a good time put a couple more for good measure :) 

yet another great night under the stars warming up the first two miles felt great then into a good  long stride pace with decent turnover down 98th so to redwood really feeling the groove into my zen like trance mind and body in harmony under the night sky loving every step 

great night for a good relaxing run slower recovery like pace making sure to keep it at a moderate steady rythm enjoying the night air and peaceful steady footfalls letting my self unwind both body and mind a little excitement once i turned from 7th east heading west on 123rd as i was starting west all the lights suddenly went out total darkness except the passing cars and in the west a huge flash of light that faded out leaving me to navigate chaotic intersections lol the blackout spread west to 13th west where some of the lights were still on and finally about 15th west the power was all on as normal all in all a good time 

little warmer weather out tonight ( 40*) feeling like spring was all i could do to keep it to a shorter run well relatively shorter than usual trying to save a little strength and get some extra recovery before saturdays 10k not sure if i will be able to post pr but will go out and give it what i have dont want to cut my mileage and training too much striving for the marathon goal is still top of the list any way keep the focus and use these shorter runs and races for speed work outs :)  

perfect night for a before race warm up run feeling great long tall strides nothing too strenuous just night air and clear mind looking forward to a good run tomorrow see how it goes :)

went out fairly fast but not uncomfortably so by mile 2 i was feeling good and strong getting into a fast long stride rythm good breathing keeping it steady through mile 4 wind and rain in my face but oblivious to their effects into my zone by the time i got to mile 5 i was really stretching it out not too painful yet but pushing it hard for sure through mile 6 to the finish getting to the pain zone but running fast still and not dying yet all the way through the finish was really pleasantly surprised with a pr 40 sec better than previous great indication my training is really paying off woo hoo

back out again tonight for a late 6.5 mi warm and stretch after the busy day wanted to keep the muscles from tightening up too much all in all such an amazing day
