Hot & humid…just the way I like it! Recovery run today…didn’t feel great, but kept the legs moving and managed 7 miles. I was glad to be done ;o)

Core workout today.  Long warm up, core work, and then a cool down.

A touch cooler this morning.  Still in the mid-70s, but felt pretty good…certainly better than Monday and Tuesday.  Pace was pretty easy, but I’m still pleased with my run today.

It was cooler today, and I felt good but just didn’t run well.  ¾ mile from the gym to the running club.  Then 3 mile warm up.  I stopped to get some water after about 2 ½ miles so I was a little behind the group.  I went o pick it up, but it wasn’t really there.  I ran the first 2 miles at roughly MGP pace.  At that point I caught up with one of the group who was looking a bit rough so I hung back with him.  I wasn’t having a vintage run so it seemed like the right thing to do.  Coach wasn’t very happy with at the end as I didn’t get out of my comfort zone.  I agree that I need to step out of the comfort zone, but sometimes there are more important things to consider.  Oh well…bring on Saturday’s long run ;o).

A touch cooler this morning, but still mid-70s and high humidity.  However, I felt pretty good.  The heart rate was also slightly down from last week.  I ran most of the first 6 miles on my own, but then ran the next 4 miles with Hank and Mike.  Ended up running the last 4 miles with Kevin and Farshid...well until Farshid kicked it into a different gear with two to go. Average pace was around 8:10.  While I wish it had been a little faster, I felt in control so all in all a good end to the running week!
