Virginia Beach, VI: Flew up here real early this morning so ran after meetings today.  I was warm (75) and very windy.  I felt pretty good today but took it easy because it was longer than I have been running and the warmer temp.  I got a little tired toward the end but glad to get in some extra miles.  It is going to be a busy week so will have to work to make sure I get my running in.

Virginia Beach, VA:  Early morning meetings so ran after work today.  It was raining/storming so stayed on the hotel TM.  Planned to do 3 miles today at tempo pace.  Not sure exactly what I should be running for tempo pace now but decided on 7:00.  Ran a couple of mile to warmup then ran the next three in 7:03, 6:58 and 6:53.  Felt pretty good and controlled.  Want to build up to 4 mile tempos then start dropping the pace.

Virginia Beach, VA:  Early meetings again today so ran after work.  It was a nice day with temp around 75 and pretty windy.  Ran down along the board walk and is always nice to run along the ocean.  I felt pretty good and just cruised along.

Had an early morning flight today but we got delayed so didn't get back home until late afternoon.  Ran after finishing up some work.  It was a nice day.  Temp around 70 and pretty windy.  I felt good today and ran at a pretty good pace.  I didn't push it just ran by feel.  Would have liked to have gotten a few more miles in but considering the flight delay glad to get something on the books.

Nice day today.  Temp around 70 with no wind.  Felt good today.  Ran about 3.5 miles easy then did 6 x 2:00 at around 6:30 pace or better with 1:00 recovery.  Felt good on the repeats and felt like I could have went faster but held back.  I don't want to overdo it coming back and am trying to focus on the long term.  Would like to get in some low key races this fall just to see where I am at and how I am progressing.

Worked at the school this morning for the musical so didn't get out to run until around 3:00.  It was nice temp (64) but extremely windy.  I tired to pick a route where the wind was mostly to my side and this helped.  I felt real good today and ran faster than I intended.  Just planned on an easy recovery run but felt good so just ran by how I felt.
