Every Run is a Great Run!

Originally intended to run up Loafer canyon in the morning, however the snowstorm quickly ended that idea. Didn't actually run until 4pm, for some reason I never seem to have a good run at this time of day. I ran from my house down to the river bottoms and did some half-hearted hill repeats. Had an upset stomach for some reason so I didn't push it much and was happy to get home to quickly head for the john. Maybe I have the same lingering junk that Kerry has.

Crosstrain: Bike/Weights/Stair.  Still low on energy today, didn't work very hard. Decided to start estimating/indicating equivalent runnings for my cross-training workouts. I'm not sure exactly how accurate this might be but I wanted to at least get some credit for my cross-training efforts.

Lakeview tempo run with Paul and Cory. Went a 1/4 mile further than last week, averaging just under 7 min pace again. Considering 7 min/mi. is supposed to be my 10K pace I was really hoping this run would feel a bit easier.

Saturday AM long run with the SF running crowd. Lots of people showed up, made for a fun, social run. Wanted to hold 8:00 - 8:15 pace for most of the run and was able to for the most part. However I still find I tire out after around 8 miles. My high hamstring tendonitis seems to have a lot to do with it.

Here are my mile splits:

1- 9:37

2- 8:12

3- 8:09

4 - 8:16

5 - 8:05

6 - 8:19

7 - 8:21

8 - 8:14

9 - 8:23

10 - 8:12

11 - 8:10

12 - 9:00

12.6 - 8:29
