"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I am still taking it easy, tried to keep the splits around a 9:00 mile on the advise from Sasha. Roads where really slick so it was easier to go slower today than last week, I felt pretty good today my legs seem to be getting thier strength back, but I am still not going to push it. My splits went as follows; 8:53, 8:47, 8:46, 8:37, 8:52, 9:09, 8:53 total time was 1:02:02 with an average pace of 8:51.

I also did 30 minutes of upper body workout on the weights, no leg work today.

I slowed down again today. I kept it around a 9:00 mile, I was out about an hour, I forgot to wair my Garman so I have no splits but total time was about the same as yesterday maybe a little less. I hope there is not to much snow after today so I can run in the mourning again.

No strength training today.

My legs where still alittle tired from yesterday's workout so I only did one mile at marathon pace as opposed to two. I started off faster than I wanted so then I tried to slow down as close to a nine minute mile as I could. It was alot colder today than it was yesterday and Monday so I had a hard time getting loose, my splits went as follows; 8:20, 8:43, 7:16, 8:42, 8:41, 8:48, 8:35 total time was 59:12 with an average pace of 8:27. Two of the miles were to fast, mile one which was a warm up, and mile seven which was a cool down the rest seem to be slower but it is hard to get my legs to go that slow (a nine minute mile). Tomorrow I am going to try harder as it will be a recovery run, so I am really going to try and get my splits around the nine minute mark for all seven.

I also did some upper body weight training and some core training for 40 minutes, tomorrow I hope to do some leg training but I will see how the run goes first.

See ya tomorrow.

I had to really take it slow today. The roads were slick and I had a head wind, I did alittle better at keeping it slower today, my average pace was 8:53 which is alot slower for a recovery run than what I am use to. My splits went as follows; 9:05, 9:15, 9:11, 8:36 this mile had some pretty good hills in it so I pushed it a bit, next, 8:12 this had some down hill in it, followed by 9:07, 8:42 to finish up the run. All in all I felt okay, starting out my legs where pretty tired but I liked how I had some push in my legs in the middle of the run it brings me hope for the future. Tomorrow I am hoping to do some more speed work, but I will see how my legs are doing, total time was 1:02:13.

I also did some leg weight training and core training for about 35 minutes.

See ya tomorrow.

My Garmin toy wasn't working right this mourning and I didn't notice it until I was two miles into my run. I re-set it at about the point that I was to start my two speed miles, I know my first mile was 8:40 but then I noticed that the total time was 16:00, so I knew there was something wrong.  I think my second mile was around 9:00 best that I can tell,  my other splits went as follows; 7:25, 7:31, 9:02, 8:38, 8:50 total time for those five splits was 41:29 with an average pace of  8:18. I felt really good for the most part, I had some wind in face for the last 4 miles so that was a challange but I felt like my legs handled it really well. I will do a recovery run tomorrow, I am thinking about going a little longer to see how I handle the longer run.

I also did 30 minutes of upper body weight training, and some core training,  see ya tomorrow.

Boy it felt like January out there this mourning. I could not get my legs loosened today, but that was okay becuase it was suppose to be a recovery run today anyway.  I am still trying to take it easy, I tried to keep it around the 9:00 mark but It was hard so I just kept it nice and comfortable, my  legs were tired. My splits went as follows; 8:33, which was to fast so on the next one I tried to slow down, 8:51, 8:56, 8:45, 8:41, 8:58, 8:44, total time was 1:01:32  with an average pace of 8:47. I will be doing some speed work on Monday, no strength training today I have a baptism to go to, maybe later tonight if I can find some time.

See ya on Monday.
