Long May You Run

6 miles out and back from home in the light rain.  55:32  9:15 ave pace.  28 days of consecutive running.  I wasn't trying to do this but I just realized it's been a long time since I had a day without running so I went back and counted.

4.65  40:28 8:42 ave pace

5.15 am miles 45:53  8:55 ave pace

10.65 pm miles 1:33:51  8:49 ave  6 miles on the track.  Rested after a few days of low mileage.  Lets see how I feel by Thursday, I doubt it will last.   

5.15 am miles 47:03  9:08 ave

10.65 pm miles 1:35:29  8:58 ave

Put the Crocs back on today.  Either my legs were tired, which they are, or the Crocs take more effort to run in.  If that's the case, it's a great training effect. 

4.65 am miles 42:23  9:07 pace

10.65 pm miles 1:37:16  9:08 pace  6 miles on the track

4.65 miles  44:32  9:35 pace.  The week has taken it's toll, I'm very tired and beat up.  Was it just me or was the blog down Thursday night?  I've been on a pizza rampage.  4 slices last night and 3 more for lunch today, I feel like an undisciplined slob.  It's so easy to listen to your body when it's saying "eat more pizza, your body needs it".   

20 miles out and back from home.  2:51:08  8:33 ave pace.  Started out slow, 9:17  9:01  8:53  8:51 8:35 and then stayed between 8:30 and 8:45 until mile 16.  I wanted to do the last 5 at 8:00 or faster.  Mile 16 was 8:03 and felt great, I had good strength and thought I could hold it, maybe even go a little faster.  Mile 17 I lost focus and ran 8:15, after getting focused mile 18 was 8:00.  I decided to go harder for the last two.  It almost felt like I was racing, really good focus and feel, everything was working well.  Mile 19  7:48 then and mile 20  7:24.
