| | It looked cold today so it was hard to get out. Luckily I have a very supportive wife who helped me do so. One mile warm up then 4 hill repeats. I did two up then one down and finished with one up on airport hill. Splits were 1:39, 1:36, 1:10, and 1:29. I started off very controlled and relaxed. I definately felt better than the first time I did these hills a couple weeks ago. The one going down I just relaxed and enjoyed the downhill. Glad I was able to negative split on the way up, even though the last one hurt a lot.

| | Didn't get out till late and didn't want to run in the first place so once i finished my loop I wasn't too concerned about the extra .25 mile. Just wanted to be done.

| | One mile with the track team after drills and stretches. This was just a nice slow jog with all the athletes. Later in the evening I did my workout. 10 minute warmup at about 7 min pace then 10 min just under 6 min pacewith a 5 min cool down + churchball that i counted as the remainder of my tempo because I was supposed to go a little longer but i figure 40 minutes of basketball should equate to around anouther 7 or so minutes of actual tempo.... maybe ha.

| | First day of marathon training I have missed since the beginning of February. I am not happy that i missed it but it was a busy day and there were more important things to do, but I am grateful that I have been able to be as consistant as I have been.

| | Today was supposed to be a 6 mile pace run. Only had time for 5 miles w/one mile warm up and cool down, and it was a hard 5 miles. It is amazing how important recovery runs are and how heavy my legs felt today. The 2nd and 4th miles were up hill and difficult but I was still able to average around 5:59 or so. splits were 5:56, 6:18, 5:52, 6:14, & 5:41. I was stuggling mentally by the end and gave myself a lot of reasons to not do the extra mile. That is something to work on.

| | I had to make up that extra .25 mile i went short on during tuesday's run. This was my second longest run ever, and it felt pretty good. Legs were heavy and tired from yesterday's workout but I was able to maintain a solid pace and drop slightly throughout. Total time was 1:30:32, my half marathon was around 1:28:40. Average pace was 6:49 and the pace felt really comfortable. I could start to feel my joints starting to hurt but that should be helped by a little strength training.
