Do I get to start this today? Early run today because it's my night to donate blood after work. I did 7.5 miles, mostly laps around the park near my house since it was still dark at 5:30. The park's only .55 miles around, so I switch direction every few laps.

3 miles yesterday in 33 something. Didn't run all the way up my nemesis hill. We haven't run that route for a few months, and I can tell. I should be able to get up that hill in a month, I think, or less depending on the knee.<br><br>
ITB was a bit pesky, but not too bad and it feels better this morning.<br><br>
Way to go rhody! Nice job on donating, too!

The track group swelled to about 35 runners due to great weather last night. With all the positive energy around me, I ran the first few cruise intervals a bit too fast. Goal was 6:35 pace. I still had some lingering soreness from the weekend long run, and soon discovered that the workout was an exercise in mind-over-matter. But all-in-all, another sucessful tempo-paced workout.<br><br>
Cycled on the road bike to the track (4.5 mi each way) 9mi total<br><br>
Run 11.5mi total<br>
2.5mi warm-up<br>
6.5mi @ T-pace (5x 1600m, 1x 2400m; with 90 second recoveries)<br>
2.5mi cool-down<br><br>
1600m splits: 6:24/6:23/6:26/6:35/6:30/6:35 & 3:17 (42+ min total of T)<br><br>
DG- nice workout! <jealous> that you get to run at Hayward Field! Have you looked into <a href="http://www.coacheseducation.com/endur/jack-daniels-nov-00.htm" target="_blank">Jack Daniel's VDOT chart?</a> That may be a good starting point to figure a training pace. You were running well below a sub-19min 5k pace!

4 miles run on the TM this morning. The taper is really doing me well. I feel good. My massage yesterday got rid of the rest of the kinks too. I needed this run <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

oops. posted in the wrong day!

 

[Flounder]

Nice run anyway roots<br><br>
I had a enjoyable run today - Felt easy, so I had to hold back until the last 4 of the 15 when I did a progressive ending with Max Vo2 pace. Felt like I could have went forever - But work was calling.<br><br>
15 miles in a hair under 1:46<br><br>
Good running to all -

I want to be Mikey, I mean Flounder when I grow up.<br><br>
15 miles in to work at a decidedly slower pace. About 9:20 min. miles. That's recovery pace, but that was what I could do today.<br><br>
Getting tired of snow and ice and layers of clothing.

 

[Flounder]

Hey Grizzly - It sucked to be me yesterday <img alt="icon_bounce.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_bounce.gif"><br><br>
But today - I feel much better<br><br>
To me just running in shorts and short sleaves with manageable temps is worth 20-30 seconds per mile.

8.5 miles @ 8:12 pace in glorious spring conditions. 40 degrees and bright sun.<br><br>
Hands were <i>frozen</i> though by the last mile. I forgot my gloves...

 

[Flounder]

5.5 on TM @ Lunch in 41:45<br><br>
sucked to be inside, but I had warm hands <img alt="icon_cheese.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_cheese.gif">

 

[JackDuggan]

7 miles around the lake today<br><br>
9:15 pace<br><br>
less tired today than yesterday which made for a good run

 

[sistergoldenhair]

Elliptical workout w/ 8 x 2:00 all-out intervals in the middle. Taught yoga this morning.<br><br>
If the wind dies down a bit I'm going to take my bike out to the running group tonight and pedal a few miles, too.

 

[wherestheportojohn]

Iron pumping for Porty today:<br><br>

*I love when those veins are poppin'*

 

[Amethyst]

2 1/4 miles today in 25:15, which shaved a total minute and change off my mile. It makes me question whether I actually did the total 2 1/4 miles, or I lost a lap somewhere.

Same here EQ except it was an easy day today so i guess it's alright that I felt poopy. I did actually get to go for a run and boy was it windy. 4.1 at a little over 8 min. pace into +20 mph winds for the second half. Still so tight...<br><br>
