10 miles (4 miles @ tempo)

I did a 3 mile easy warm-up and then ran 4 straight miles @ tempo pace. Felt pretty good and relaxed. I averaged about 5:55 pace for the 4 miles. Then ran the last 3 miles easy at about 7min. pace. Good workout and nice to run a little fast for a change.

7/28
16 miles (Ran around Lake Bemidji- 6:50 pace)

I always like to run around the lake when I'm back in Bemidji. I always think about my child hood growing up when I use to think that biking around the lake was such a big deal. I know that my running isn't going very good because I was hurting the last 4-5 miles of the run. Didn't bring enough water or any gel. I just haven't been running enough. Lots of reasons. 1. Being sick lately 2. Pain in both feet 3. Busy with summer school and wrestling all summer 4. A little mentally drained. I hope I can get things turned around a little for the last couple months of the running season before wrestling begins.

7/27
10 miles

Ran from my mom's house in Bemidji. Ran to Northern Liquor store and back. Nice to run on Birchmont drive.

Another hot day, but a good run. I ran from Bartlett again and ran the Mayors Course to Moose's Run golf course and back. Went at a good pace 6:40 or a little faster. Was a little tired toward the end.

7/7
10+ miles (4 miles @ Tempo 5:56-5:59 pace)

I ran 3 miles easy as a warm up and then headed to the Bartlett track to work on tempo. It was about 85 degrees and no shade on track. I wanted to run on the track to know exactly what my pace was. Since it was hot and I'm just starting out again I decdided to be safe and run an easy tempo of 6 min. pace. So, I just ran 1:30 per lap for 16 laps. My pace was about 5:56-5:59 pace. Felt very controlled and easy. Felt like doing more, but resisted the urge. Then I ran another 3 miles at 7 min. pace for a total of 10+ miles for the day. Very happy with the workout!



7/6
6 miles

Ran on the Mayors Marathon course from bartlett. Just 3 miles out and back. Hot out. 84 degrees.
