I split my run into two sessions today, even though both were short. It's just the way I had to do it. The first one was 2.2 miles in 16 minutes. The second was 3.3 miles in 24 minutes. Each had 8 short intervals. I felt great! It must have been the all you can eat buffet we went to beforehand. Brazilian churrasco!

The week went well. I've been getting consistent, albeit short mileage the past 3 weeks now, I think.

4.32 miles at steady pace in 30 minutes. That's under 7:00 pace average, which is great for me right now. And it's the furthest I've run in 30 minutes in quite awhile. I'm finally getting back on track. Now I just need to improve.

Ran 8 minute pace for recovery and then ran a 1/4 mile at 6 minute pace at the end.

Two 20 minute interval workouts. I think I'm going to need to bump up the intensity on these a bit. I really like doing them though. I've had three solid weeks of training in a row.

I completed my full treadmill tempo workout on the current settings. I think I've done it before, but I can't remember. So it's been awhile if I have. It's been fun to see myself make progress over the past few weeks. From here forward, it will be positive progress rather than just trying to recover from being sick.

4.33 miles in 30 minutes.

I had my best run in a long time. And I beat my record by far for a 30 minute run on my treadmill. 4.46 miles at a steady pace. Hooray!

For the first time in a long time, I didn't fill out an NCAA basketball bracket and don't really care about it. So I was bummed that my favorite TV show was preempted by the tournament.

Interval workouts. I bumped up the pace a little. My max speed is now 12 mph, as fast as my treadmill can take me. I only ran that pace for a short time, but I will work up to doing more.

Another good week of 20+ miles. 4 in a row now.

Same tempo run as Monday. Same result. I've now run the tempo run at the current settings three times in the past 10 days. So next time I attempt it, I will up the intensity a bit.

Back to back short interval workout. I got down to 5 minute pace on the last interval of each, which is always a fun challenge.

5 weeks of consistent training in a row.

Quite awhile ago, I offered to pace the Riverton Half for the 1:30 pace group. Then I realized that I was being a little too ambitious given my training. So I told Walter I'd have to drop out, and he found someone else. But then that person got injured, and a 1:35 pacer dropped out, so I signed up for 1:35. But Walter still needed someone for 1:30 so I said I would do my best. We had 5-10 people in our group throughout the race, but we got broken apart about halfway through the race. Sean Silverton was my co-pacer, and took the front group and I just tried not to die too hard. To make a long story short, I finished in 1:31:59, so I wasn't too far off where I should have been. Sean was on time, so it worked out well. I was able to help a couple runners who were near me. I'm pleased with my race, given that I almost stayed on pace despite the wind, modestly challenging course, and the fact that my longest training run in the past few months was 5.5 miles.
