Saturday - 5.0/0

Did a 1 mile loop course (Veterans Park) today. It was a bit windy and I wanted to quit during the first loop but kept talking myself into doing just 1 more. Ended up with 5 loops for 5 miles. The pace was about 7.49. As I told Natalie (wife), this was not what I was running back before Christmas, but it is faster (for ~5) than anything I've run recently, plus the wind. Very comfortable pace though; felt like I could have done several more. I've just not felt like running lately.

Friday - 4.3/0

I ran today without a watch. I modified a five mile run of mine thinking I was making it longer; hoping for ~6 miles. I was surprised when it only ended up being 4.3. Really felt pretty good, though. It was slow but I was thinking towards the end I could probably easily go another 3-4. Of course, I was thinking that would be 9-10, not 7-8.

Thursday - 0/0

I found out today that my wife and I are having another boy! It was just one of those days I didn't really think about running.

Wednesday - 4.0/0

Only got in 4 miles today. It was ridiculously windy and I just wasn't tough enough mentally to keep going.

Tuesday - 3.5/0

Repeats - Today was a couple of repeats, nothing serious. It went like this:

1m wu)
1m @ 6.12
1/2m @ 3.01
1m cd)

Tomorrow - 6 easy miles

It was warm today so I got on my bike to see if I still remembered how. I felt strong although it was extremely windy and my neck was hurting (I couldn't even lift it to see the road when down in aero). So I turned around and came back. Not even far enough to record distance (now that's short).

Monday - 0/0

I'm not planning on doing anything today either. I've gotten in bed late the last 2 nites and I'm going with the addage that anything I run today would definitely be "junk" miles. What I need is to rest today and start rested tomorrow. I've gotten in 4 weeks of running where I haven't used my watch (at least not much). I'm starting a program of sorts today (begins w/ a rest day) and will need fresh legs to complete. It's 8 weeks long which should put me completing it just before Whistlestop Duathlon.

Weekly Recap - 18.3 Running/26.1 Biking

It was rainy and I decided to do nothing. Kind of bummed I broke my streak which stood at 30 days.

Saturday - 5.3/0

Finally warm enough for me to run outside. 5.3 miles, I wasn't trying to go fast, but the comfortable pace was slower than I would have liked. But pleased I got outside and did 5+. I'd gotten into that old habit of mine of just running a couple of miles here and there. I have got to get out of that.

Friday - 5.0/8.6

I did a mini indoor duathlon today. 2.5 mile run on the treadmill, 24 min on the Lifecycle, and 2.5 mile run on track (all @YMCA). It was a good workout. Puts me within reach of an average week of running, nothing serious. But I have added some Lifecycle work in this week, so I'm not as down on myself as I might have been. Still need to up the run total while still getting in some cycling.
