Long Week. Boy.

Ok. Wednesday. I ran. 8.5 Miles. First mile. Yuck! 10:30. Next 7 @ 8:30 pace. Last 1/5 at a 9:30. Thursday. 6.6 Miles in 52:00 Minutes. Friday Off Saturday Work Way too long Sunday. Sometime I will find a long run. Need some sleep and I will see what the plan is in the morning.

Monday Morning.

I got a 5 Miler @ 9:00 in this morning at Bally's. The first mile was @ 10:00 pace but I made up the minute in the next 4 miles making those 8:45 pace. Nice!!! Gail came with me for a morning run. That was way nice. We don't get to go together to often anymore. Did't see any of the guys. I guess Spring Break Pulle some of the away from the area. I Hope they are having a great getaway.

Morning Run Down South.

Well I wish. But i did get a further south. I ran drom Lock 29 South. I got some towpath and road running in I finished with 11 miles. On the way home I passed Two of the guys Doing Insane Hills. They were at 13 of what ended up being 20. Great job Guys. Still waiting to hear how Joe did.

Two More Longer Morning Runs

Wednesday Was day 2 of my Change Up. I did 9.5 Miles in 1:18:00 the fist 1/8 was in 3 minutes the rest of the run was from 6.6 to 7.5. I tried to increment .1 every mile and more frequently in the last 2 miles Thursday was more of the same just shorter distance. I did 8:00 mile in 1:09:20. I walked a few laps on the indoor track to cool down. The week is going pretty well. I think a 10 to 12 Miler this weekend. Probably Saturday as i have some things to do on Easter.

Monday.

Morning run at Bally's Beechwood. I completed 6.9 miles in 1 hour and finished with 7.5 miles. The first two were tough. But I got into the rythm and finished running in the last mile at anywhere from 7.0 to 7.5 miles. It was a bit on the tough side but it was meant to be. Still training.

New Plan for the week.

i HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT 3 X 20 Mile runs and don't think my skill level is ready for this or that I need it. I am going to remove the middle one and replace it with 3 x 1 Hr Runs and a long run The week will total between 30 and 35. That is the same mileage I would get in this week if I stuck to the plan. I will return to the schecule next week

Saturday LSR

Well. Long work week and Long Friday... I was not sure what would happen. I looked at the weather when I wike up. Partly cloudy, 39 and 28 mph winds. YUCK. So i went anyways. Met up with the guys. Started to run with them but found the zone and I think my post week frustrations had me running off the crap. I finished with 16.25 mile is 2:24:30. Pretty good. I walked to GU and to chat starting at 5 miles.

Monday and Wednesday of Week 9

Monday was an easy 5 mile run at 9:18 pace. Nothing big about it. Ran next to Sean for a while. Wednesday was another story. 7 Miles. 1 Warm up and Cool down and 5 Mile Tempo at 7:58 pace. Tough run. I think its alergies or a cold. Gail and I are both having alergy like symptoms. I could not get my breating right. I did the run though and feel good. I have another easy run tomorrow and then 16 on Saturday and the weather looks like it wil cooperate.
