felt sick yesterday but worked all day anyway. didn't eat much. felt better today so decided to go for a run after work. went out at about 7:00 pace for first three then hit a wall. just didn't have much energy. finished last 2.5 pretty slow.

warmed up about a mile then did 2mile tempo run on track then cooled down and went home. garmin said that tempo run was first mile in 5:50 and next mile in 5:39 but i don't trust it on the track. i think they were closer to 5:55 on both miles based on track position. felt good to get out even though it wasn't much.

every run i do is one more than i did last year after the marathon.

went out at 7:30 pm and wanted to get a longer type run in. didn't know how i would feel because i didn't have much of a lunch on dinner. i ended up feeling great and doing my 10 mile out and back plus a cool down. run went as follows.

1 7:09

2 6:26

3 6:21

4 6:41

5 7:12 up hill

6 5:58 down grade (split 39:51)

7 6:38

8 6:57

9 6:58 a little up hill.

10 6:22 (split for 10 was 106:47)

.6 cool down

i would rate this run as one of my best training runs ever even though i am just trying to maintain some fitness through the winter. i felt really strong on the run. i didn't feel like i was pushing the pace just trying to run relaxed.
