Every Run is a Great Run!

AM: Ran 8 miles on a breezy morning. Legs felt pretty good.

8:28/153

Noon: Couldn't resist the bright sunshine so I went 3 more miles at work. When I got back to the office I learned that I may have had a little something to do with Kim getting locked out of the house during her run. Oops! Sorry Kim!

7:59/154 

Nice relaxing run with Kim in the late AM. Cloudy and a little breezy today but not too cold, would've been nice to see a little more sun.

9:00/131 

Waited until around 11am to do the run so I could enjoy all the nice sunshine!  Original plan was for 3 x 2 mile tempos with 5 min rests.  But since I've been feeling a little fragile lately I was prepared to cut the workout short.

Legs actually felt pretty good but my aerobic conditioning just doesn't seem to be up to snuff. Or maybe with the high miles lately I'm carrying around some lingering fatigue to make things harder than they should have been.  First 2 miles felt OK but 2nd set felt harder than they should have for the pace I ran it. Made the decision to bag the 3rd 2 mile set and just try to get 1 quality mile and not worry about the 2nd mile.

Splits for 1st set: 6:51, 6:53.  2nd set: 6:55, 6:52, 3rd set (1 mile only): 6:44

Overall: 9.25 miles, 7:40 AP, ave/maxHR 169/190 

AM: 6 easy miles, legs feeling pretty good after the tempo run yesterday.

8:40/150

Noon:  3 more easy miles. Temps in the high 40's but a little breezy and cloudy.

8:15/145 

Six easy miles in the early morning. Quite warm and mild for November, the calm before the storm coming later today I guess. Looks like we could get hammered pretty good.

8:50/150 

It was snowing heavily when we went to bed so wasn't sure what to expect in the morning.  Fortunately the roads, although a bit sloppy in places, were runnable and the temps were relatively mild (35-40) with little or no wind.

Kim and I met up with Dan and Chad and ran a few with them, then parted ways and ran with David and Kay for a few more miles. Finished the last 8 or 9 miles mostly solo.  Legs felt pretty good today, with the early slower pace miles  I was able to finish strong the last half of the run.

Now looking forward to a rest week next week, a nice holiday, and best of all our boy #2 Tyler's return from Denmark on Tuesday!! Lots to be thankful for!
