Nice and easy

5 miles - 36:00

Felt pretty good this evening on my run. The fitness is definitely coming back to me. It was a fun run getting rained on.

Long run wasn't so long

7 miles - 55:00

Did a nice slow run today starting at 5:30am. I'm still very sore for some reason. Just need to keep getting the mileage in.

Ouch

7 miles - 51:00

Yesterday felt great, today felt like crap. I may be doing to much as I try to get back into the swing of things. I'll take it easy moving forward until I start feeling better.

10 miles

10 miles - 1:15:00

Today was a great run this morning starting at 5:30am. Getting up at that time is much easier when you have someone to run with. Thank you Josh for coming out for a run. We went 10 miles in 75 min. Felt great the whole way. Looking forward to more.

Quick comeback

4mi - 29:00

Just did another short easy run to get back into the swing of things. Even though I took about 10 days off I'm already back to feeling the way I did before the break. This goes to show that if you need some time off take it. You won't fall that far behind where you are. Rest is important too.

Back at it

4mi - 30:00

Well that was way more time off than I was expecting. Last week was a busy week so I decided to take a couple days off which quickly tuned into more than a week. Being busy along with a bout of food poisoning just doesn't make for a good combination. I should be back at it from this point forward. I'm also going to do my best to transition into being a morning runner. With summer around the corner I'm going to have to do this anyway, why not start now!

Time to get going again!!

So since my return from the west coast I have been fairly busy and it has been hard to get our for some runs.  I did go this morning(wednesday at 5:15am).  I went 5 miles this morning in about 37 minutes.  I felt pretty good considering I had taken Sun, Mon and Tue off.  Hopefully I can get back on track with this nice weather we are having.

Seattle, Washington

Wednesday - 5 miles once we arrived in Seattle.

Thursday - 10 miles in the morning with Trey. Felt really good. Averaged 7min miles throughout the whole run. It was pretty windy and rained on us for a bit.

Friday - 6 miles in the morning. Felt horrible pretty much the entire time. Not sure if its because of previous run or late nights with Brooks people.

Should go for a run later today.

Flat Run

6 miles - 42:08

Went for a run on linear trail tonight with Ande. We were clipping along at a pretty good pace and once again it seemed pretty easy. Terrain definitely dictates pace when using a heart rate monitor. I need to find a race so I can continue to monitor my progress.

Long Run

12 miles - 1:27:08

Its amazing how much a day can make a difference in the way you feel on a run.  Tonight I went out to get a long run in and was able to average 7:15/mi and felt pretty effortless the entire time.  Outside of the idiot who passed me going 65mph on a country road(he may get a rock in the windshield next time) it was a great run.  I started at 8:45pm and did the whole thing out in the country in the pitch black.  I love my country roads, up and down the whole time!

Ugh

3/4 - rest day

3/5 - 6 miles 45:41

I'm healthy again but didn't feel good at all on my run. I'm hoping to up the miles this week and get back on track. Fingers are crossed.

Tired

Wednesday March 2nd and Thursday March 3rd

8.3 miles

I got out for an early morning run on Wednesday and felt pretty good considering it was 5:30am.  I'm not an early morning person so it was a bit rough.  Achilles didn't hurt to bad but still had a sinus headache.  I ended up having about a 13 hour work day and didn't get home until 9pm.  I decided to take another day off this week because I have felt like I'm falling apart.  As of now my achilles hasn't bothered me at all today so I'm glad I decided to take another day off.  Hopefully things start feeling better.

Back to the Trail

5 miles

Today, Trey and I just went back to the trail to pick up after the race. With my left achilles bothering me a bit I figured easy and short would be good.
