Got back from Soldotna today and got right on the treadmill and ran easy. Had a fun time with friends, but nice to be home too. Solid week of running.

12/31
16 miles

-2 degrees out at the start. I had to get up a little early so I started the run at 7am. Ran my Boston prep route for 13 miles and then came in and ran the last 3 on the treadmill. Felt pretty good today. Progressed down to 6:07 pace. 2,814 miles for the year 2011.

12/30
11 miles

Ran on the treadmill after wrestling practice today. Kept it somewhat easy since I need to do my Long Run tomorrow instead of sunday. Felt pretty good today.

12/29
10 miles (6am/4pm)

My first run today, my legs were really tired from yesterday. Felt a lot better in the evening run. Both were run on the treadmill at recovery pace.

12/28
14 miles

Ran my Boston prep route and added 2 miles to it. I believe it was about 10-12 degrees out and the trail were okay. I'm glad I did the whole thing outside. Tired at the end for sure though.

12/27
13 miles (9am/4pm)

Had a good workout for my 1st run.

3 mile warm-up
4 miles @ Tempo (5:56, 5:49, 5:42, 5:36)
2 mile cool down

Total: 9 miles

It was a progressive tempo effort. It felt really good and relaxed. I didn't want to press hard right away with this being my 1st workout of my program. Eventually I will like to start out at 5:36 pace.

4 miles easy in the PM.

12/26
10 miles (6am/4pm)

Couple of easy recovery runs today. 1st one was outside to Huffman and back. 2nd on the treadmill. Feeling better everyday.
