Easy Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 36:31
Pace: 9:07 min/mi

Comments: This is one of those weird things about running. Went out this morning and felt like I just nailed it. Slightly creaky start, warmed up quickly, hit a solid pace and held it pretty much the whole way. Ran the last mile as smooth as I've been able to muster in months.

Then I look at the watch and it's just two seconds better than yesterday's run which felt terrible. Whatever. I just want to keep at it this whole week and this is a great start.

Easy Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 36:39
Pace: 9:09 min/mi

Comments: It has been a busy week and finding the time to run has not been easy. I wanted to get out the door earlier this morning but there was too much stuff to do and when the one opportunity opened up... it started raining. I figured that was it but things cleared up at 3 p.m. so I headed out before the next round of showers could arrive.

This wasn't a spectacular run. I felt sloppy and slow the whole way. Part of that is probably the weirdness of running in the afternoon for once. But the goal was get in the miles and not settle for a partial effort. Mission accomplished.
