runnin with a friend

Had a busy day and didn't get the run in till early evening. So it was the tm workout. Didn't know exactly what I was going to do till I warmed up. Legs felt good so I opted for a hill workout. After a mile warmup I set the incline at 4 and ran 400 meters and then 400 cool down but kept the pace the same which was 8:15. I did that for the rest of the run which was 8.35 miles. I guess that is a speed workout in disguise? Sure felt like it. Runners are funny, 9.35 miles for the run and I'm thinking 10 sounds some much better.......nah... I'm done!...Till tomorrow.

Took the day off to finish up a class and get some things done around the house. Managed to get a run in late morning. Cool and cloudy out but ok for the second week of January. Just took it easy after the workout last night. Legs felt a bit sluggish today. I think that it was due more to the hour of last nights run and this mornings run.

Cool and clear this afternoon with temps around 25 with a slight breeze from the north. I dressed for it this time and had a nice run. I started out running 7:30's and that felt too slow but I stayed with it for most of the run. Towards the end I slowed a bit, but overall I felt pretty good and I had tights, shorts, two shirts, arm warmers, and a jaket on. Maybe if conditions were better I may have run faster longer???

Pretty chilly today so tm miles. Took it easy.... Not much to report today. Off the rest of the week so hopefully between the two days I can get a long run in.

Up early and pretty cool outside so tm running it is. 10 easy miles in a comfortable basement with Hanna right beside me. I need to take her on a walk today. She is quite the lazy dog. I think I need to replace some of my running shirts. This tm running is killing them. Lots of sweat and stink running on the tm. Guess I will look into some orange shirts and see how they work for me.

Had a great run with Sheridan today. Started out with temps in the low 30's and I think that they stayed there for the majority of the run. Ran up in the foothills and over to Iona and back. Great company and run today. It has been sometime since I ran this distance. I felt like I could have gone some more but that is when you probably get an injury, so I am satisfied!
