Ran my Boston prep route with elmore extention this morning in the rain.  It wasn't down pouring, but it was steady rain.  I felt okay and didn't push the pace much.  Legs just felt a little beat up and tired still.  Started at 7:40 pace and progressed down to 6:20 pace towards the end.  Averaged 6:45 pace for entire run.

Easy recovery run after work today with Jerry Ross.  Felt pretty good, but tired after working 8 hrs. at the store.

Easy 5 miles of recovery in the rain in the afternoon.

I wore the heart rate monitor and kept it super easy paced on both runs today. Legs a little heavy and tired, but overall felt good.  To Huffman and back on both runs.

Ran my Boston prep route today.  Ran in some light rain, but it felt good.  Started easy at 7:30 pace and progressed down to sub 6 minute pace the last few miles.  I felt really good today.  I may run the Skinny half next sunday.

10 miles (4 @ Tempo)

I wanted to throw in a workout today because it feels so long since I've done anything faster because of Mayors Marathon and Crow Pass.  I ran to Huffman and did my tempo between Huffman and Dearmoun.  I felt okay.  I never felt like I was rolling but I'll take it today.

Easy 6 miles today.  Had a rough night and day today.  Just a lot going on in my life.  Feels good to go out and run though.
