| Just 5 easy miles along the trail in the early evening. My total time was 36:05 for 7:13/mile pace. Splits were 7:33, 7:17, 7:08, 7:09, and 6:56. The legs were a little sore still from the race on Saturday, but overall felt good. | | Add Comment |

| The legs felt better today. I went 5 miles along the trail again. The time was faster at 36:02 with splits of 7:31, 7:17, 7:09, 7:04, and 6:59 for a 7:12/mile pace. I picked it up on the last one with about 100 meters to go to see if I could get under 7. | | Add Comment |

| I had less time today, and I thought fewer miles would do the legs some good. I just did 4 along the trail in a time of 28:55 for about a 7:13/mile pace. Splits were 7:26, 7:13, 7:12, and 7:03. The legs felt pretty good, and the soreness in the hips is almost gone. | | Add Comment |

| The legs felt great today. I did my usual 5 miles along the trail in a time of 35:52. That translates to around 7:10/mile pace. I did 6x100m strides in the middle with 100m rest in between. Splits were 7:25, 7:21, 6:56, 7:11, and 6:56. | | Add Comment |

| I decided to do a longer run today and ran 8 miles along the trail in 58:04. That is just over 7:15/mile pace. I felt good and strong until about the last mile to 1.5. My legs were feeling a little fatigued at that point, but it wasn't bad. It has probably been about 8 years since I ran that far at one time so I was pleased. That makes 32 miles for the week, and I'm feeling great. I'm slowly building my miles up. I'm dreading the 100 degree weather of summer though. I'm not a fan of hot weather and find it harder to run in the summer than in the winter. My splits for today were 7:25, 7:19, 7:13, 7:20, 7:07, 7:11, 7:16, and 7:10. | | Add Comment |
