Beautiful, sunny, and cool day.  Ran my Boston prep route with elmore extention to UAA and back.  Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 6:20 pace by mile 10.  Last couple miles were sub 6 (5:51, 5:43).  Felt really good and feeling fit.

Woke up and snowing outside!  Easy pace on treadmill.  Enough said.

Snowing outside pretty good.  Unbelievable!!!! Ran on treadmill. Gross.  Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 5:52 pace.  Sweat going everywhere.  Come on summer!!!

Both were easy recovery pace.  Sometimes these runs can get boring or even a chore.  But I believe I'm a better runner for it.  Sticking to my goals.

5/15
21 miles (15am/6pm)

Ran from the Post Office to Totem in back and then another shorter out and back to get my 15.  Legs felt tired in the beginning. Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 5:47 for my last mile.  It was cold too.  Horrible spring we are having.

6 miles of recovery in the afternoon.  Legs were tired.

Easy 5 miles of recovery during lunch this morning.

In the afternoon:
3 mile warm-up w/ striders
6 x 1000m @ 5K pace w/ 2 min rest
3+ miles of moderate pace

I did my 1K at 5K pace between Huffman and Dearmoun, so I had so rolling hills.  Felt pretty good to turn the legs over a little faster. I jogged slowly between the 1Ks.  Nice workout.

5/13

Easy recovery pace runs.  Ran to Huffman and back in the afternoon.  Feeling good.
