6 slow easy miles in the cold and dark of the evening, 7:55 pace  After 3 days without running I needed to get out there.  Lets hope this week doesn't end as badly for my running as last week did.

Got out to the track with Kristian and Alfie today.  About 2 miles total warmup, then 5 x 1 mile with 1 min rest.  Pace was supposed to be at cruise interval pace.   Then about 2 miles cool down, incuding a few 200 repeats at mile pace.  The mile repeats were at 5:58, 5:59,  5:59, 6:02, and 5:55.  I felt pretty good throughout even though my legs are still tired from doing the roof work on Saturday. 

I will defenitly get faster if I continue doing these sessions with Kristian.

Ran after work today.  Mid 40's and low wind.   I felt great the first couple of miles, but then I started to feel sick.  Not sure if I was just hungry or what, but it wasn't pleasant.  It got a little better after a while, but I just got this one done.  Nothing special.  7:49 pace with some time lost for traffic.

Tomorrow is tempo day!

Tempo run today -- 60 deg and sunny. 

2 mile warmup

4 tempo - 6:17 ave.

2 mile cooldown

Felt ok during the fast part.  I was a little creaky on the warmup and trashed on the cooldown.  Main thing is if I can keep hitting my paces on these hills, I'll be doing ok.

5.6 at lunch at work

About 70 degrees and light wind.  I hope it is as nice tomorrow for my long run. 

I was stiff for the first mile and a half.  Add to that, my left hip flexor is still acting up if I stride wrong.  The roofing last Saturday really took my legs for a spin. 

Just cruised along at 7:25 ave trying to get it over with.
