This is the fastest I have run in a long time, probably since September. Felt awkward at first, but once I got into, it didn't go too bad. Once I slowed down though for the cool down, I struggled a little, so I only got 5.5 in today, and not 6.

Easy run today after Tuesdays long run. Felt ok, I was in a hotel in New York, and it was attached to the pool, and really humid, so a little more sweat than usual, but all in all good.

Ran and extra 2 miles today because the training calls for my longest run to be 20 miles, and I want to do at least 22. Plus I have been running 14-15 on a regular basis, so it's not a big deal to start there. I did increase the treadmill speed though from 7.1 to 7.2, which doesn't seem like a lot, but my left knee was hurting afterwards, and I felt a little weak towards the end even though I upped the pace over the last 3 miles. I still think the treadmill is faster than the pace indicates.
All in all a good day one though, got a good stretch in afterwards, and some abs, and downed a big chocolate milk. We will see how my legs feel on Thursday, when I will be running out in New York.

Last 6 Miles before training for the Novi Marathon begins. Didn't feel good again today, but I have been sluggish all week. I think a day of rest and some extra sleep will get me back in the groove.

Morning runs are tough for me, wish I could figure out why, and how to fix it. Just 6 miles today, wasn't hard, just didn't feel good, like most morning runs.

Went to the gym after working a bit today and planned on running 6.....8 if I as feeling good. I didn't feel good though, I felt great, and just kept on running. It helped that there was a great playoff game on between the Cards and Eagles, but I hadn't eaten much, some grapes and a Slim Fast...all day, hadn't stretched much. I guess you just never know, but that is really good considering I may not get to run much this week with a lot of late days with work, and Tami coming into town.
One thing that did come up though, my second toe on my left foot is really hurting on the end and the nail, I hope I don't start getting those toes where the nails fall off, I have been lucky thus far. I think it is just the treadmill running.

Felt really good again today, I was thoughts of going longer than 15, but I kinda fell apart around 14, so decided to hold at 15. Just don't know if I am going to break that barrier on the treadmill. Anywho, VH1 had the top 100 Hip Hop songs of all time on, so that was great, kept me entertained the whole time, I think that is the key, on good long days, there is something good on to watch.
Going to try to squeeze as much running I can in this week, but I will be working lots of hours, going for back to back 80's ........not as impressive as it first sounded, so, hopefully I'll be back on the mill Friday.

Again, it's amazing how much things change over a week. My legs were tired today. Plus I stepped the speed on the treadmill up from 7.1 MPH to 7.3 MPH, this is the supposed speed for my 8:13 minute miles, feels way too fast though. I surely needed to stretch more while I was in Nebraska, too much work, not enough play :-)

Today being my last day running for a week, I decided to do a little Tempo Run, it's been a while. I have only done a Tempo run one other time on the treadmill, and I didn't like it at all. Today wasn't awful though, it felt good, again, I felt like I was running way faster than the MPH conversion says I was, but that's the price I pay for warmth I guess. Well, not it's off to Nebraska, and a week off of running for my legs.

Ouch I am sore today, usually don't run the day after a long run. Didn't eat beforehand either, that didn't help. Lots going on at the gym today though, so there were things to entertain during the run.
14 Miles - 115:25 - 8:21 Pace
Again, I felt good today, the belt was moving smoothly under my feet, the GU was going down well.......not much on TV though. I was good until about mile 12, it was getting hard for me to breath, I think it's this throat thing I have going on. My body felt ok, but I couldn't get the air to it. So I settled for 14 Miles, I had visions of 20 around mile 10.......oops.
4 Miles - 33:03 - 8:16 Pace
Wasn't planning on running today, but I felt good, and wanted to get a few in on the first day of the year. Was a little sore at the start, but felt good once I got into it. My shoulders were tired because today was a lifting day, and that's what I worked out with.
