| I've been away from public blogging for a very long time. I figure I should make my blog public again. I miss the community. I'm also using some Beachbody app to track workouts. I don't like it as much for logging running. Too hard to keep totals and look back on workous.
3 treadmill miles.

| Four very slow morning miles. Progressively faster, but not a mile below 9 minute pace. It was nice out, though, and I enjoyed the unusual morning workout. The kids went back to school today. I start up again tomorrow.

| It's amazing to me that a pace on the treadmill that seems laborious seems very natural outside.
I originally planned more miles for today (and this week, of course), but whatevs.
4 miles outside. (9:12, 8:46, 8:38, 8:18)

| This week was all treadmill. My tendency over the last few years has been to have a lot of difficulty getting runs in towards the end of the work week. I keep telling myself to change that by scheduling my day off working on Thursday or Friday instead of Sunday. Maybe one day I'll do that. Maybe. |

| All right, I ran on a Sunday. Outside. We had a little ice yesterday, but it was mostly gone from the sidewalks. (9:21, 8:59, 8:42, 8:26, 8:14) |

| This was an awesome run. So glad I got to go outside. It was foggy, but above freezing.
Last 2 miles I did 2 fast 1/4 miles with rest in between. (8:59, 8:42, 8:30, 8:24, 8:20, 8:07)

| I wore shorts! When I ran, it was close to 50, but it got up to almost 60 today. Crazy.

| I ran at my sister's in Plainfield. It was ridiculously foggy, but still warm enough for shorts (maybe 45 or so). I ran around the bike path that runs through a few neighborhoods, have run around there quite a few times, but it was eerie not really knowing street names and worrying about getting turned around in the fog. For instance, there's a water tower along this route, and I usually use it as a guide, but I couldn't see it unless I was within a tenth of a mile of it.
I kept the pace pretty easy, but did make an effort to push the pace in the last two miles. (9:04, 9:00, 8:50, 8:35, 8:48, 8:31, 8:14). I guess looking at the splits for some reason mile 4 was also faster, but I don't have an explanation for why that would be.

| I think that I ran 3 miles, but I'm not positive. It was on the treadmill. But I'm pretty sure it was 3.

| I ran outside in the empty streets behind the high school. I wore shorts, but kinda regretted it because it was so ridiculously windy. I almost turned back after the first half mile it was so windy, but then I decided to just run a bunch of times around the retention ponds back there to add up to 5 miles. There were 2 cars that were circling the loop of streets there (it's about a 2 mile loop), which was really weird. One car would race around, and when it came back the other would go. Both cars were white and I'm pretty sure there were 2, but it is possible there was only one. There was also a pickup truck that was sitting at the start/stop spot for the race. At any rate, I altered my route so that I didn't run past the staging area. I thought about calling the police when I got back to school, but when I got back to school I forgot all about it. My pace was fast because of the wind. AP was about 8:30. I accidentally screwed up the autolap feature early in the run and forgot to hit the lap once I got to mile 1, so the only splits I know for sure were 8:25, 8:24, 8:08 for the last 3 miles.

| Another windy 5 miles behind the high school. Started running with a kid on the cross country team. Quickly realized that his pace was going to be quicker. Our routes overlapped a couple times because he did the big loop and I ran around the ponds a couple times. My total time running was about the same as Wednesday, but my watch didn't pick up right away so I think I went a little over 5 miles (like .04 or something). Splits: 9:09 (with small bit of extra), 8:47, 8:27, 8:37, 8:07. I didn't realize that my last mile was that fast until just now. I felt like I was pushing it a little, but the effort felt natural and good.

| Treadmill miles. My hips are starting to ache, which usually means new shoes...

| I got in a rare before school run. It was on the treadmill, but it was nice to get it out of the way.
