10 miles (4 @ Tempoish)
Woke up and ran around 9am. Still really cold outside and I didn't want to bother with it. My first 5 miles were easy around 7 min. pace. Then I ran the next 4 at (5:52, 5:44, 5:39, 5:30) and it felt very comfortable almost too easy. 1 mile cool down. Pretty good shape right now for just running nothing specific.

An easy 7 miles after wrestling practice today. Felt good.
11/29

-2 degrees at the start. I forgot what it was like running in cold weather. It took a few miles to warm up and not feel the cold. Ran my Boston prep route. Felt pretty strong and ran somewhat easy. Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 6:30 pace.
11/28
10 miles
Woke up early to get my run in before the kids woke up. It was dark when I started but started getting light half way through. It wasn't that cold, but a cool brisk head wind in parts of run. Started easy, but progressed down to 6:30 pace. Felt good. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I'm gonna try not to eat a ton of food today.

An easy run to Huffman and back before getting things ready for Barrow. Amazing how busy I can get. Need a slow down. Thanksgiving week should allow for that. Felt good running.
11/13
10 miles
I ran my south loop after practice. I admit it's hard to run after a long day, but once I'm outside running it's the best feeling. Wore my Nike's with screws and they worked good. Felt awesome!

I tried running outside this morning. It was very icy and slick and I almost bit it a couple times. Couldn't really even run at an easy pace. So, after 2.5 miles I decided to finish up on the treadmill. I kept it at recovery pace the entire time. Felt good. 71 day running streak!
11/9
13 miles
Finally snowing a little outside. I just decided to get a nice warm run inside my garage. Started at 7:30 pace and progressed down to 5:46 pace. Felt super good and it was easy. Need to drink more on my run though because I sweat so much.

Another great wrestling practice today. I had to wait until after 6pm again to run, but I felt really good. I ran my south loop mostly in the dark. Lots of trick or treaters out too. It's not ideal running after a long day, but I gotta suck it up and I'm glad when I'm out there doing it.

10/25
10 miles (5 @ Tempo)
Had a great run this morning. I did a real easy 4 miles w/ 5 striders and then did a progressive tempo run. It felt pretty darn easy, but I'm not really trying to get workouts in right now. Just wanted to spin the legs and get a harder effort in. It was fun though.
4 mile warm-up w/ striders

Easy recovery pace after work today. I'm feeling good and almost like I could start training serious for my next Marathon. Wrestling starts next wednesday though, so I'm going to have to try and get my running in. It'll be pretty busy starting wednesday until Boston in April. But, sometimes you gotta work hard to enjoy things. I'm actually looking forward to it.

Very sore and my right hip was tight. I wrestled last night with my son and a couple other kids. I'm just not sure I can still do both at my age and be focused on running. Anyways, easy pace for the entire run today.

I ran my south loop right after work today. I started at 7:22 pace and progressed down to 6:06 pace at the end. I felt pretty good and it was a beautiful fall day. Suppose to get colder the next couple days, but warming up again this weekend. Good effort today.

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

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.

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 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!
