Morning run, snowing, temp. 30'

There was about 3-4 inches of snow with packed snow where the cars had driving.  It was kinda slick and I took it easy. 

As I've increased in miles over the last couple months I don't feel like I'm getting any faster.  It seems like my legs are always a little tired and never fresh.  Hopefully, this will change after I get up to 60 miles per week and stablize out.

Time 60:30,  Mile avg. 8:39

I decided to do a longer tempo run at a slower pace partly due to occasional slick spots on the road.  I was shooting for 6:45 average.  Miles ranged from 6:31 to 7:32 with the faster miles on the down hill sections.  Near the end of the 7 miles my quads were aching and I'm guessing it was due to yesterdays run in the snow where my quads must have done some extra work trying to stabalize me from slipping.  Anyway it felt good knowing I can still run miles near to what my friend Tom can.

Time 47:50,  Mile avg. - 6:50

 

Noon run, partly sunny, Temp 25'

Ran easy with Eric.  My legs probably would have appreciated even slower.  Tomorrow I'll be able to tell.

Time 65:15,  Mile avg. - 7:58

My legs are still a little tired from Tuesday's 15 miles.  Another easy run or two and they'll be doing good.

Took it easy in hopes that my legs would feel ok for my Saturday run which is always my most enjoyable because I don't have to rush off to work after the run.

Morning run, low wind, Temp. 25-30'

I decided to do a big loop I've been thinking of doing for a few months.  I was guessing it'd be between 13-16 miles.  The loop took me from 4,700 feet elevation to 5,200 feet and then it drops back down.  When I was half way done I was excited I was going to be dropping the rest of the way home.  I did a 7:01 and a 7:06 and then I told myself I'd better slow down because this is suppose to be a long slow run and I'm suppose to be working up to 60 miles a week without getting injured.

Time 1:51:50,  Mile avg. - 7:41  (Fastest mile 7:01,  Slowest miles 8:31)
