One of the most enjoyable runs I have ever had. Trail run w running center. Just Sarah and me, running all morning. Life is good. We averaged 8:25 per mile, which is great considering all those tough uphill miles.

One of the darkest days/nights of my life, really. Up all night on the phone. And all morning, and most of the day. Had young men tonight - hauling rocks all evening, then more phone calls. No running, but I need to , for my mental/emotional health.

Ran with Hughes for the first 3 or four miles and averaged a little over 8 including the warmup. Then we separated and I slowly built up to race pace for almost a mile, then slowed down and jogged home.

felt good, considering monday's long run, and not being able to run yesterday.

After not running for three days, the guilt is overwhelming. Nice weekend in Lake Powell, but i should have gotten in a run or two. oh well. I started off feeling fat, heavy, and sluggish, but after a warmup mile, I attacked the summit loop and ran a good 10k, followed with a cooldown mile.

splits during the summit loop: 6:41, 6:17, 7:24, 7:08, 7:24, 7:01, 6:50 (a third of a mile). An average barely under 7 which is a good run.

Tempo tuesday tomorrow.

Nice run out through Bloomington to the Country club with Hughes. Then we separated and I finished the tempo at a respecatble pace. Felt good, took it up to race pace a couple times and it felt fine. Getting over ten miles on a tuesday is good.

Mile splits were : 8:09, 8:02,7:51,8:01,8:03,7:24,7:09,6:54, 7:24,7:24 then a cooldown.

DX center with Sarah and Steve. Ended up with a 730 avg but really felt like I had to work for even that. A depressing run result, but after a weekend of travelling, eating poorly, and not running enough, it's no surprise. Tempo tuesday coming.

a mile and a half warmup, then hit race pace and held 6:13 average for 4.8 miles before cooling down. my last mile was under 6, which is a first for this year. Can I hold that pace for 13.2? not today, but I have a few more weeks...

Great solo run out by bloomington. I increased each mile split up to mile 7 where I held race pace, then cooled down the rest of the way. Felt fantastic, it was cooler this morning. Feeling more confident about Hobble Creek.

Planned on a long run, but totally bonked. Can't explain it. Cold sweat, dizziness. Stopped and rested, then jogged home super slow and slept.

Southern Parkway, light rain. Ran the downhills at/around race pace. The rest slow - keeping the overall average below 7:30.  Felt great.
