6 am miles on the track at the gym with Tiff. My legs still felt pretty good bouncing back from yesterdays race but my lungs/chest felt a little heavy. I started out slow 8:38 then loosened up a bit 7:31then 7:14 feeling pretty good now 7:04 then6:56 and finished with 6:48 still perplexes me how I fall into this kind of workouts but I will take it. These faster paces are feeling less forced and more easily attainable. Now to convert them to marathon distance.

7 pm miles. on the elliptical. good solid workout not forced but getting some more cardio in to cap off the day

10.5 morning miles(90 min) on the elliptical moderate pace

8.0 miles on the road this afternoon. It was so nice out I was loving the spring like conditions. Didnt push too much kept it light on my feet and decent turnover. my footpod was reading 97 spm which equates to 194 I am thinking if I figure out how to finish/lengthen my stride a bit more I can keep the efficiency and stay in my comfort zone while increasing speed. I know my stride stretches out when I race I just need to be more cognizant and be able to replicate the same form in training. 8 miles @7:35 

Too busy doing work stuff at work to get an elliptical workout in today... Go figure lol. So after a longish 12 hour day came home and hit the streets running. 11 easy miles on a somewhat hilly route. Was needing this after a somewhat stressful day. 11 miles @ 7:56 pace. The crud in my chest and throat is being a bigger,doing my best to get through it. Slow and steady prolly for the next few days and see if I can kick it.

8.0 mid afternoon miles. Was really not feeling it today. Felt clunky out of breath off my rhythm but I stuck it out. Just focused on keeping my form from getting sloppy even though I felt wiped. Hope this chest/throat thing I have gives up soon. I will just keep at it until I get feeling better. 8 miles right on 8:00 pace

7 am miles on the elliptical waiting for trucks 

6 afternoon miles on the hamster track at the gym. Started out slow and sluggish but after the first mile or so started to find my groove somewhat. I still feel off and coughing while running really hurts lol but it was much better than yesterday.Splits were 8:14,7:40,7:28 having to keep my focus and stay relaxed since I was tiring then 7:26, 7:27 and finally 7:22. Total 6 miles  7:36 ave. Just keep on keeping on

8 miles on the road tonight. Overcast but not too cold out, was feeling a little better than I have been lately. Eased into it and went slowly progressive from there. All in all a solid run. 8 @ 7:40 pace. followed by some core work and cool down

12 miles on the JRP today. The first 10 by myself just putting a good medium edgier. My throat and chest were still kinda funky. Coughed and choked a bit during but I made it through. I tried to stop and get a drink but all the fountains were shut down. Still a fairly good run even though I wasn't feeling super strong. Finished 10 miles @ 7:37

Once I finished my 10 I walked into the house and Odie was giving me his my turn look so I took a drink of water grabbed the leash and took him out for a slower 2. He was all eager the first 1 1/2 but the last half he was ready to be done ha ha
