AM: did a run up wade road. I did the first 3 miles slow. Then did the last ~3 miles 1 min <7 min/mile pace and 1 min slow. I ended up doing 12 sprint minutes. My average pace for the fast minutes was 6:44. PM: couple of easy trail miles. It was dark adding a level of difficulty.AP 9:16.

Only able to get one lap up beacon hill today. Work and family are taking time. My foot was hurting quite a bit last night as well.

A little over 10 miles up wade road. My watch died after only a mile this is the second time this has happened despite it saying I had a ~70% charge when I started the run. AP: 8:10.

Nice slow run on the local trail. It felt really good to be on the trail. I think next month I am going to try and do more than half of my runs on the trail. The new shoes feel really good as well. AP: 9:12.

Road run today because I didn't have time to do a long trail run today. I tried to push the last 30 minutes the pace for the last couple miles 7:57, 8:28 and 8:27. My hr was at 150 for those last couple of miles. I guess that is kind of a moderate pace for me especially after having done 13 miles. Total time 2:07:17. AP 8:20.
