Keep running and family balanced and be as fit as I can so I can run and play with the family.

Still might run my tempo workout but I'm not holding my breath. Just finished a 65 minute bike ride and avg 19.4 mph. Legs feel a bit sluggish so I might wait and run tomorrow and then do a rest day and then the long run. Liking the flexiblity with the RLRF program... just hope that it gets results.

Felt like running this evening and so I did! It was dark so I opted for the tm and set the incline at 1 and away I went. Mile and a half warm up and then the scheduled tempo run. Felt pretty good considering I had a pretty good bike ride earlier in the day. 7:26 was the goal and I managed avg 7:13 for the tempo. I wish I could hit the mark on the intervals.... Oh well. See how the legs feel tomorrow.

I promise you will see results. I ran a 1:30 half marathon 11 weeks into the training. There would have been no way for me to run that without the training. I didnt do as well as I wanted on my marathon but I believe it was completely operator error in pacing.

Ah, the old summer to-a-days. Great tempo run after a strong bike ride! Now rest for your long run on Saturday.

Don't worry about the intervals, the speed will come, just wait and see.

Doing great. You will get to that tempo you're looking for. Beautiful days.

Great tempo. I am able to handle those better than the intervals as well. Bet you go even faster when you can do it outside.
