Back to Back

4 Easy miles - 27:00 - 9:15 Pace

Got in another workout this week before I head to Indy. Had a big break in the middle of the week so had to stuff two runs together...all felt good.

Tempoish

3 Tempo Miles - 24:15 - 8:05 Pace

Started moving more into the speed workouts, did a Tempo like run today. Felt good, lungs were struggling a bit, but legs were good....and good and sore when I got done, so I think I was at the right speed. I need to start putting together a training plan.

Packing on the Miles

8 Easy Miles - 72:00 - 9:00 Pace

This was the best I have felt running in forever. THe first 4 miles were like a walk in the park, everything felt great. As I pressed on, and increased the speed, it got a little tough, but I still had no issue. Looking forward to Wednesday.

0.25 Easy Miles - 2:30 - 10:00 Pace


Decided to start working on my speed today, Intervals it was. Tough to gauge how fast I was really going, I think most of the treadmills are different speeds..so who knows. I felt it though, so that is all that matters.

Little Sore

4 Easy Miles - 35:50 - 8:58 Pace

Was a little sore today, my my knee or calves, just the usually running soreness....which felt great. I ran a pretty fast pace today, looking forward to running a tempoish run Friday or Saturday.

Continuous Long Run

7 Easy Miles - 1:04:00 - 9:09 Pace

Long run today, but felt really good. My calves were fine, my knee had no pain. I ran pretty fast too. I started at a faster pace than normal, and at the end I was cruising. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Semi-Speed Work

4 Easy Miles - 37:00 - 9:15 Pace

Short run today so I finished pretty fast. THat got the lungs working...painfully.

Long Monday

7 Easy Miles - 1:06:30 - 9:30 Pace

Long run today..well, sort of, got about 3.3 miles into the run...and the fire alarm went off in the gym... So I had to get off and go outside...for about 15 minutes. After going back in..twice, I finally restarted and made it to 7 miles. I think that number is a bit skewed given I stopped for a while. Still felt good though.

Cold as F out here

2.09 Easy Miles - 17:20 - 8:18 Pace

Ran outside in Canton at my sisters place today.....I was slightly under dressed. I had the right top and bottoms, but brought no hat or gloves....rookie mistake...I have been cold in the winter for 33 years, you think I would remember these things. Anywho, so I cut my run short due to the cold...and my knee was hurting a little. Lungs were struggling with the chilled air too...but thats expected.

I did run at a fast pace though, so I am not as slow as the treadmill leads me to belive...which was encouraging.

Moving Along

4 Easy Miles - 38:00 - 9:30 Pace

Little soreness in the knee today...no calf issues though

Monday Run

6 Easy Miles - 57:45 - 9:38 Pace

Knees gave me issues today, my left one was just sore till about mile 3. My right one though, kept having these instances of pain, and I could feel it was right where the damaged cartilage is. Hopefully that was just some getting back into it pain.

Other than the knees, felt really good. We shall see how Wednesday goes.

Little Farther Today

2 Easy Miles - 18:30 - 9:15 Pace

Tried picking up the pace a little today, was going well, felt a little twinge in the calf about 1.9 miles. SO I stopped at 2 miles and figured I'd give my legs the weekend to rest while I am in Chi-town for the Bears game.

Keep it going

4 Easy Miles - 38:00 - 9:30 Pace

Easy run today, lets fest good, calves were loose, knee was loose. Hope this keeps up

Miles

6 Easy Miles - 57:00 - 9:30 Pace

I think this calf boot is doing it's job. My calves are crazy felxible...for me, and the run today felt great...calfwise. My knee was sore, but I haven't run in a while, and I jumped back in with 6 miles. Give it a days rest and see how it feels.

LIttle Run

1 Easy Mile - 10:00 - 10:00 Pace

Started my run today and just didn't feel right. Probably just fear, but I felt like my calf was going to go, so I stopped.

Calf Stretcher

5 Easy Miles - 49:00 - 9:48

Back to it after a long layoff to let the calf heal. I am hoping this boot helps me stretch more when I am sleeping and louhging around the house. I have increased the flexibility of may calves...by quite a bit, we shall see if this fixes my calf probelems though.

Run was good today though, no pain, lungs felt good, legs were a little sore.

Daaaaaaaamn

F'ed my calf up again. I don't know if it was the back to backs I did, a lack of stretching....not sure how, I stretch them all the time. Well, another three weeks on the shelf. I really need to look into those while you sleep calf stretchers...something needs to change....I was getting so close to 10 miles :-(

Back to Backs

3 Miles Easy - 27:00 - 9:00 Pace

Decided to run on back to back days for the first time in....years I think. Felt ok, didn't want to push it, and finished with some biking. We will see how I feel when I do my long run Tuesday.

Littl Outdoor Running

6 Miles Easy - 49:43 - 8:17 Pace

Felt so good today I decided to go for a run outside. Took the normal 6 mile loop around my place, hills, curbs, dogs, grass and all, it was good to be back outside. Not issues with the legs, ran a fast pace and didn't feel gased.

Post Mud Run

9 Easy Miles - 1:21:00 - 9:00 Pace

Well, my ankle was a little sore, and the quads were still aching a bit, but the run felt good, and it felt good to get closer to that 10 Mile mark. My hammies were a little tight after this one, I think I need to start the long runs faster, so I am not flaying at the end trying to average a decent time.
