I ran 10.1 miles at an overall 7:11 pace in 1:12. I wanted to just run easy with little effort to get an aerobic base workout and not be under a 7 minute average for the run. Although, the last mile I had to hurry or I would have got stuck at the train tracks with a train approaching. I couldn't alter the route and I was .7 miles from the crossing with the train approaching a little further away. I picked it up, and ran the last mile at 6:01. I really wasn't trying too hard just enough to where I knew I could beat the train. Very nice easy run with little effort and a very nice morning for a run at 34 degrees. My achilles seem to be doing great and hopefully that continues. I went to bed last night at 10pm and couldn't sleep because of this computer system hardware issue were having at work. I analyzed this problem all night and figured out the solution in the middle of the night while trying to sleep. That was great, but when the alarm hit 6am I wasn't ready to move. I was really surprised I wasn't a dead beat on this run today. Evening: I ran from work to home tonight stretching 4.2 miles at a 6:51 pace in 28:54 minutes. What are the odds of trying to out run a train twice in a day, well I had to try to do it again. About .3 from my house we live by a train crossing, but this time I couldn't beat it, and it was a long one. I bet it took about 8 minutes before I could start running again. I was running at a 5:20 pace to try to beat it at the crossing, but it was too close to where I could have made it. But breaking the law isn't one of things I like doing, and not something that might influence my kids.
Ran 1.57 miles in a 12;40 pace in 19:48 minutes with my wife. I enjoy running with my wife it gives us a chance to talk and discuss the day. She starting to get back into running again.
