5/10
18 miles

Dropped my daughter off at dance at 8:30am and took off from Studio 49 and ran the chester creek trail to almost the sullivan arena and back.  It was nice to run a different route.  I felt pretty good and took it out easy, but the last 4-5 miles were all sub 6 pace.

5/9
9 miles

It felt good to go real easy today at real recovery pace.  Legs felt pretty tired the first few miles.  Perfect running conditions, which was 48-50 degrees:)

5/8
11 miles (10K- 33:18- tempo and a little faster)

I wasn't planning on running a workout today, but after my 1st mile I felt really good and just decided to do this workout today instead of tomorrow.  Plus, it'll give me a recovery day tomorrow before my long run. Not to mention I have lots of family up for my daughters dance recital tonight and my son's graduation next week.  Now I have this workout out of the way:)

3 mile warm-up w/ strides
6.2 miles @ tempo and a little faster the last part (5:27, 5:27, 5:27, 5:21, 5:21, 5:10)  33:18
2 mile cool down.

5/7
12 miles (7am/5pm)

Both easy recovery pace, but felt extremely good in both.

5/6
15 miles

Ran to totem with out and back to post office and back to Westchester.  Started at 7:20 pace and progressed down to a 5:27 last mile.  My right hip felt really good and I was rolling!!! Had a smile to my face:)

5/5
14 miles (5am/9pm w/ 5 x 800m @ 5K pace w/ 90 sec rest)

Easy 5 mile recover pace before school in the am.

After work I warmed up by running to Hanshew's track and did 5 striders.  The 800's went pretty good, but I could tell my legs were a little tired.  Each 800 was faster plus it felt easier then the previous one too.

3 mile warm-up w/ strides
5 x 800m (2:35- 2:32) w/ 90 sec rest.
3 mile cool down

5/4
12 miles (7am/5pm)

Easy recovery pace runs today.  Ran at school in the morning and then from Taelynns dance studio in the afternoon.  Felt good, but my right hip is still buggin.
