6 Miles Easy on the trails at my parents' land just outside of Lake Catherine State Partk in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I refer to these miles as "easy", but frankly, there was nothing easy about this workout. My parents' trails are serious, deep Arkansas Woods trails, with stumps, creeks and rocks. I managed to fall only once...but it made me feel tough and a little more satisfied with my effort.

8-mile tempo run on treadmill set to 1.0 incline, including the following:
2 Miles at 6:58/mile;
4 Miles at 6:27/mile; and
2 Miles at 6:58/mile.
Today, for the first time since my last race on April 30, I started to feel like I was getting my legs back under me.

6 Miles at 7:13/mile in my neighborhood on a warm, humid morning in Little Rock. Temperature approached 90 degrees yesterday, and it's not even June!
Cruising at easy 7:30 pace, but worked six 30-second striders into last 1.25 miles.

It's been a long, albeit productive, week at work...I needed a good, long run to calm the nerves. And honestly, I didn't want to work too hard. Today's treadmill run included:
2 Miles at 7:30 (warm-up);
5 Miles at 6:58 (let's call this my moderate marathon race pace);
4 Miles at 6:40 (let's call this my established, fast marathon race pace); and
2 Miles at 7:30 (cool-down, no italics necessary); and
1 Mile at 8:00 (extended cool-down)
14 Miles Total; incline set to 1.0 per usual.

| Nice run this morning on a cool and breezy morning with a front moving in. It's my wife's birthday, so I wanted to get my workout in early so we can enjoy the day together. My dad, Mark, has graciously agreed to drive over to Little Rock and watch the kids so I can take my wife out for brunch and an early movie. While it's not much, I think she'll appreciate a relaxing morning. I just hope's she's willing to go see Thor...not really...she'll be picking the movie. After a two-mile warm-up (15 minutes), I cranked it up a bit for 3 Miles at 6:29/mile, followed by 2 Miles at 6:49/mile; 7 total miles in just under 48 minutes. Wesley |
