The usual 6 miler this morning, broken up by not one but two lovely pit stops this morning. It's bad enough when you have to stop for one pit stop, but two! During a short 6 mile run! Sorry, I know that is probably too much information..... Run felt really good this morning and I still had that spring in the step that carried over from the end of last week. Things are starting to feel really good again but I am reluctant to really push the pace or do any hard running at this point. I think I may continue the same as usual for this week and then think about adding a tempo run next week sometime. We'll just have to see how it goes. Did the PM yoga after the run and it continues to be as enjoyable as ever. All that extra hamstring and lower back stretching really seems to be making a diference. I was going to start the 100 push ups challenge this morning but I forgot to do my max push ups. Maybe I will get to it tonight.

Ran solo today because I stayed up too late last night and slept in for about an extra hour. Being short on time I picked up the pace a little bit today and then finished with a 6:45 mile just to kind of give the legs something to think about. The last mile felt a little harder than I was expecting but not terrible. It was a good opportunity to prepare the legs for adding a little tempo run next week...maybe. Nothing else too exciting, normal temp and a light breeze made for a plesant run.

Todays run was a little harder than I was expecting. We started out about right but continued to increase in speed the whole way until by the last mile, which was solo, I decided to run at GMP or about 7:25/mile. During the middle portion of the last mile I did about a 600 meter interval at about 5K pace. That pace felt much more doable than yesterdays sub 7:00. Got a good night sleep and was out the door at the normal time today. Ran in shorts today but it was a little colder than yesterday, but still not bad. I think it was about 44 with little to no wind. I have totally blown this week on the push-ups challenge so I may be looking to start next week. I know, I'm a lazy bugger.

Finally a true recovery type run. Took it really easy for all six miles today. No speeding up in the middle or the end, no faster miles, just plain, ordinary, easy aerobic running. I have a little discomfort in the left lower back area and a slight twinge in the left knee but I think those are probably the result of the previous couple of days of breaking my normal routine and running a little faster. Hopefully those areas won't develop into bigger problems. Softball is starting up again for the girls. Ahhh the endless nights and Saturdays at the fields watching games and practices...... Must mean that warmer weather is getting really close. Temp was 51 today with little wind and I ran in shorts....again.

I actually did my push ups test today and I will start week 1 on Monday. I am embarrassed to say how many (how few) I did. I knew it would be bad because I have no upper body strength at all but, oh well, that's why I'm doing this right? So my max was a meager 10 push-ups, no laughing..... | |

I hope those new shoes of mine come soon, these old ones are getting.....well.....old. Moderate pace run today with everything feeling pretty good for the most part. The aches I complained of yesterday were a bit better today so I think my hunch about the faster running being the cause was probably right. Nice weather again today but that is all supposed to change for the next several days with rain and colder temps in the forecast with Saturday being the worst of it. Don't know what that means for the long run tomorrow, I guess we'll just wait and see.

What a nice day for a run. It supposed to rain on our parade today but surprisingly the sky was clear above Vegas with clouds all around the outside. By the time we finish it was almost all the way clouded over so imagine it will probably rain sometime today but who know, it's Vegas. Thought I might to 15 today but started to feel aches in the hips an lower back around mile 11 so decided to stop at 13 and call it a week.
