10.8 easy miles that were made tougher by a lot of climbing. No significant shin pain this morning.  Felt pretty good.

PM- Core work.  I've decided I need to start doing my core work at least twice a week since I've quit going to the gym and lifting weights.

I ran early this morning, but this is my first chance to post it-  8:30pm.  What a crazy day.

10 miles

First five out, easy.  Last five back, pushing the pace.

10 miles on a beautiful morning- mid 40s and no wind

I kept it nice and easy this morning at an effort lever where you feel like you could keep going forever.

Another beuatiful morning; another 10 miles.

PM- core work 

I headed out for a long run this morning. I decided to try a new route and was not sure how long it was.  Some of the roads I had never run before.  I started off conservatively not wanting to crash.  Miles 8-10 were unexpectedly super hilly, but it was kind of fun.  After that I started feeling stronger and stronger and my pace was picking up even though I felt like I was just cruising at an easy effort.  By mile 18 I was feeling like I wanted to just keep on running all day, but I made it back home at mile 19.8.  I did the last .8 at 7:20 pace and was feeling really good. 

Averaged 8:05 for the run, had a great time.  I'm looking forward to my next long run adventure.  

10 recovery miles.  I was suprised with how good my legs felt this morning.  I guess all this easy running isn't as hard on the body as faster running.  I went over 70 miles this week for the first time in well maybe ever, and I don't feel beat up at all like I do when I'm running faster but shorter.  Heck, maybe I'll run even farther next week.
