7 miles in 47:21 on the treadmill. Didn't feel great but can't complain about a good tempo run.

My weight was low this morning. I was sort of surprised. This might be the lowest it's been this year. Just waiting for Christmas to come so I can gain some of it back. :)

Anybody out there run a 50 miler before?

7 miles on treadmill in 48:47. 

This one was sort of in between an easy run and a tempo run. I didn't plan on pushing the pace, but I have a hard time running relaxed on the treadmill. When I feel up to it, I like to push the pace.

6 miles on the treadmill in 44:45. It was nice to run relaxed. I was feeling OK, but it was better to hold back. Merry Christmas to all!

4.5 miles of hill workout on treadmill at 7:00 pace, level 9. 1 mile warmup. 1.5 mile cooldown. This didn't go too well. I made it through 2 miles, rested for 2:45, 1 mile, rested for 2:45, 0.6 miles, rested, 0.5 miles, rested, 0.3 miles, rested, 0.3 miles, cooled down.

So in total, I had to stop and rest five times. It's getting harder for me. My heart rate just gets so high that I'm afraid I'll pass out.

I will keep working these hills and see if I can improve. The heart needs to get stronger. Plus I think I could have done better if I had taken it easier on my Tuesday run. It was just hard to hold back.

Anyway, I'm pleased with having pushed myself and will keep at it.

I hope everyone is having a great Christmas and that you're not reading this on Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I was surprised to see that many of the bloggers went running today. I usually take Fridays off, and Christmas was all the more reason to take a break today for me. I sure enjoyed spending the morning with my wife and daughter and then the afternoon and evening with my parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephew. I'm grateful that we all get along so well and live so close to each other.

Just over 12 miles on the treadmill this morning. I normally like running on the treadmill, but this time some guy was watching a special on the history channel about UFO's in Roswell, NM. And our runs overlapped almost completely. It would have been better if I had brought my iPod or something.

But anyway, the run wasn't bad at all. I ran 43:45 for the first 6 miles. And then 42:52 for the second 6 miles. I didn't push hard and didn't go easy. It was a good pace. I also threw in hills at Level 1 for a little variety.

This week I had 39 miles. I'm lacking 27 miles to hit 2000 for the year. I plan on hitting that milestone.
