The Next Step

Worked all day at the kids school so didn't get to run.  Normally don't run on Sunday but since I missed yesterday I got one in.  It was super windy today (30+ mph) so I just ran on the TM. Felt good and glad to get the week off to a good start.

It was cool (37) and very windy today.  The wind made it feel colder than it was.  Not looking forward to winter running.  I felt good today but just did an easy run.  I had planned to go longer today but the day got away from me and didn't have the time.  Just want to keep consistent and build up the miles.

It was cool and windy today with temp around 38.  Did a 3 mile warmup and then did a 4 mile tempo.  I planned on going around 6:50 pace.  Ended up doing 6:51, 6:47, 6:47, 6:41.  The first mile I didn't know if I would be able to keep the pace but started to feel better as I went along.  The last mile I was starting to feel it a little but was happy to end up faster.  It is nice to see some improvement but I still have a long way to go. Was running this pace for a half with no problem last year so I will build on it and hope to continue to improve.

It was cool (35) and windy again today.  Just did an easy recovery run today.  Felt pretty good.  A little sluggish at the start but felt better after a couple of miles.

Nice day today around 45 and light wind.  Felt good today and running came pretty easy.  I added in 8 x 100m strides at the end to shake out the legs and get used to some faster running.

Great day today with temp around 48 and light wind.  I felt really good today so turned this into more of a steady state run. It was nice just ran by feel comfortable without pushing too hard.  I am calling a lot of it MP but not really sure what that is right now. Wish every run was like this one.

Cool this morning (29) but sunny and no wind so it felt nice.  I have family coming in today so didn't have a lot of time.  I would have liked to go farther but glad to get in some miles before a busy day. I felt pretty good and just took it easy.
