I'm just getting back into running shape and my workouts have been pretty hit and miss the past month.  My pace was around 7:00 today for the 3.4.  It felt pretty good, but I've definitely got some work to do.

I ran along the Provo River Trail again today.  I met Sasha and ran with him for about 1.5 miles.  The pace was around 7:20-7:30 for the run.  It felt pretty comfortable, but my legs were a bit tight starting out.

Easy 3.2 today.  The legs felt better.  It's been awhile since I ran three consecutive days.  Tomorrow I'll make it four.

I didn't get out yesterday, but today was a good run.  I ran about 1.6 along the Provo River trail to warm up and then ran a couple of 0.5 mile intervals just to see where my fitness is at.  I ran them both at around 3:00 and felt like I could have gone faster if I wanted to.  It felt good to run at a decent pace for a bit.  I then finished off with about 0.6 back to the house.
