Trying to improve my running

Just did 4 miles this morning. It was a perfect morning to run. The moon was full and it was pretty warm ran for about half of it on a dirt road. Can't wait to get back to the trails. AP: 8:26

Did 3 recovery miles. I tried to focus on my heart rate and keeping it less than 150. My pace was 8:46/mile

Felt slow this morning slow starting and the uphill miles were pretty slow. Oh well at least I got in 5 miles. Same route as Monday just a little longer. AP: 8:24.

Did as little bit on the trail today. It was super dark and made the trail pretty slow. towards the end it lightened up some. I didn't like the shoes on the trail very much hopefully they will get more comfortable as I break them in more.

Ran the route up wade road again. This is becoming my standard route. I went way a little further today to make it 6 miles. The downhill miles were all faster than 8 min/mile. AP 8:04/mile.

Last month I had the goal to run 110 miles (10% more than December). I ran 130. This next month I have the goal of going up about 10% again. So if I increase 10%/week the miles will add up to ~165. 10% more than 130 is 143. I think I will make my goal in the middle at 150 as it is a short month and I have a race at the end of it.

wanted to do 10 miles today. I was going to make them all trail miles up and back on Wasson peak. I did an extra mile loop at the start to add some miles but ran out of time to get an extra mile loop on the end to get to 10 miles. I did a mile slow later with the kids. was able to accomplish the wasson peak run in 1:46 which was a pretty good time given the extra mile.
