Upper 60s and 88% humidity in WI - Sweaty, but bearable.<br><br>
I continue to run good work outs, but come up short on the scheduled workout. Today - I wanted 20 miles with 3x10 minutes @ T in the last part of run.<br><br>
What I got was - I slept in until 4:45 and decided to go for 16 miles. I felt sluggish the 1st half of run - but decided to force the T-Pace<br><br>
1st 10 minutes on T-Pace - Was fine. 5 minutes off, then the 2nd I ran way too fast and cut it short at 6 minutes. THe 3rd I was hurting and only did 8 minutes, so I through in another 6 minutes at the end.<br><br>
So I got 30 minutes at T - And a good workout, but kindof screwed up - I'll take it because I am kindof a screw up <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
Good running to all -

Todd: Same weather here in Iowa - Doncha love midwest summers???<br><br>
Flounder - quit bein' a slacker!!! 16 miles... you should be ashamed!! <img alt="notworthy.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/notworthy.gif"><br>
Seriously - at least you got out there and gave it what you had - sometimes that in itself is a success - When we feel like running, it's easy - when we don't feel like it and do it anyway, well that's the difference between a <b>runner</b> and a <b>jogger!<br><br></b>Measly 2 miles this morning; but it's 2 more than I ran a month ago. Hot and humid for 6am. It's one mile with the wind at our backs and on a downhill slant; but coming back - it was in the wind on an incline. Everyday I feel more and more like I used to feel. Kick'd the last 250 yards or so.... Not a lot, but one more step in the right direction.

Good morning!<br>
11 mile run for me this morning. Finished in 1:29:53. I felt good the whole time, but I sure didn't think I was that fast this morning. Running with others seems to help the speed come and the time fly. Nice start to the day.<br><br>
Have a good one everyone!

Flounder, slacker and 16 miles do not belong in the same sentence! Nice run even if you had to cut it short.....you'll probably make it up at lunch.<br>
Me, 4 miles easy.<br>
Good running!

Agreed Moment's Notice...once my slacker runs reach even a half of that I'll feel great. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
Keep it up Mikey!<br><br>
Aphigirl - Awesome run!<br><br>
Way to go Satfix, every step in the right direction will bring you closer to your goal. Keep it up, those numbers will add up fast.<br><br>
Off for a nice recovery jog through the fog.

If I were *half* the sluggish slacker that you claim to be, I'd be WHEY happy with my achievements. <img alt="hello2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hello2.gif"><br><br>
OY, now it is time for chores.<br>
ps:--->Please send rain to Dane County.<br>

I remembered that in Runner's World the guy who just set the US record for the 1/2 marathon said "Learn to run by effort and not pace."<br><br>
So, my brain said to my body, "Let's do that." My body said to my brain, "OK but I get to drive." So, I went pretty slow. Whenever my brain tried to push the pace, my body would remind my brain that it wasn't driving.<br><br>
I did 9 miles in 1:49:30. That's 9 minutes faster than I did it last week. That workout was terrible; lots of walking, couldn't maintain anything like a consistent pace. This time, I didn't walk at all - at least if you don't count having to walk for all of 15 seconds when I crossed a busy street.<br><br>
Cheers,<br>
