Mileage for the week 10/14- 10/20
57 miles

10/20
6 miles

Easy pace this morning before work to Huffman and back.  Nice fall morning, but I really need to start eating better.  I eat too much before I go to bed and I can feel it weighing me down when I'm running.  I realize this is the off season from marathon training, but I can still start eating better.

10/19
14 miles

Was able to sleep in and have a little breakfast and coffee before I went for run.  Another nice fall day out, but still really windy.  Ran my Boston prep route and added a couple miles at the end.  Started at 7:22 pace and progressed down to 6:20 pace.  Felt pretty good and nice to be outside.

10/18
7 miles

Wow! I can't believe what a busy week I just had.  After our kids wrestling camp I was fortunate enough to run an general aerobic pace 7 miles to Huffman and back with some extra.  It was still warm outside, but windy.  Feels great to be out in fresh air!

10/17
7 miles

Ran an easy 7 before the all day parent teacher conferences.  Kept it easy and I felt really good.

10/16
10 miles (4 @ Tempo?)

Had a good workout today in my hot garage.  I was just gonna run an easy 10, but I wanted to turn the legs over for awhile.  I haven't done any workouts since my marathon.  This wasn't really tempo pace just slightly slower, but the heat made up for the slower pace.  Felt good and it was fun!  The first 6 miles started at 7:30 pace that eventually  progressed down to 6:30 pace. Then I did the last 4 miles  @ (6:00, 5:56, 5:52, 5:49).  I lost a lot of water!

10/15
6 miles

I was able to fit in my run during lunch today.  Just an easy pace for the majority of it. Felt really good and wanted to run longer.

10/14
7 miles (10 x 100m striders)

Easy pace to Huffman and back and I through in some striders at the end.  I just feel like I haven't turned my legs over much since my last marathon.  I don't really want to start doing workouts yet, but I believe these striders are good.
