I ran the hilly loop on Carnation Dr, 10600 S, 1300 E. I was trying to keep my miles evenly paced. I was hoping for 7:30 pace average, but it was a windy day, so I wasn't sure. On the 4th and 5th miles, it was uphill and windy, but I ran the fastest miles somehow. Average pace was 7:21. Feels great.

Tempo run on the treadmill. First mile at 8:00 pace. Second mile at 7:00 pace. Miles 3-5 at 6:30 pace. Mile 5-5.5 at 6:15 pace. Mile 5.5-6 at 6:00 pace. Cooldown mile at 8:00 pace.

Wasn't necessarily easy to keep these paces, but I wasn't breathing super hard. This was a good wokout to maintain sharpness but not strain myself too intensely. 

Today was my lowest weight of the year by a small margin.

I ran 3 miles around my neighborhood. Picked up the pace at times since I was practicing to drink water while running. It didn't work too well, so I'm going to have to come up with a strategy.

Did the normal treadmill hill workout. 2 miles warmup. 4 miles at 7 minute pace on level 6 hills. Then 1 mile cooldown. The hills weren't too bad. I felt a little sluggish. Not sure if it's due to my allergies or feeling under the weather.

By the way, I have felt a little muscle soreness this week. It's strange because my mileage has been relatively low. Maybe it's part of the taper experience?

Easy 3 miler down to 9800 S. I love these short runs during the fall, during the day. The middle two miles were a little fast. Average pace overall was 7:33.

10 miles on the treadmill. It got dark before I could get out for a run, and it makes me nervous lately to run outside in the dark.

3 miles averaging 8:00 pace. 3 miles averaging 7:30 pace. 2 miles averaging 7:00 pace. 1 mile at 6:30 pace. Cooldown mile at 8:00 pace.

Felt great the whole time. Felt like I could have run harder and faster but held back. The 6:30 mile did feel somewhat challenging though.

36 miles for the week. Just what I had planned. It feels good to be able to taper after having trained more before. Now I have to figure out what to run next week.
