Fitness Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 40:06
Pace: 10:00 min/mi

Comments: It got cold the past two days and the forecast calls for more of the same next week. So I have tried to plan my runs at the times where it is at least reasonably warm but that's a relative term.

So, while I avoided the most frigid temperatures today, the 40 degree start was not pleasant. The good news is that between the sun and the exertion, I was warm enough by about two-thirds of a mile in.

Overall, my pace has been dropping each and every run although I don't really feel a lot faster. I did make an effort today to finish the last half mile strong. It felt pretty good to open it up a bit.

Comments: Given the pretty intense launch of this running regimen, I opted to take two days off and see how well my legs felt. Surprisingly, I really didn't have a lot of soreness over that span and no real issues on today's run either.

I got out the door reasonably early since there is a cold front coming in this afternoon and I want to get ahead of my running schedule for the week before it arrives. The run went well in that it wasn't overly notable negatively or positively. Just get out there and get the miles.

Comments: Due to the rain yesterday and the ongoing battle with the sinus infection, I decided to nix the run. As a result, I came up two miles short on my weekly goal. The solution? Add two miles onto the next week.

So this morning I was up earlyish and put in a four miler. I felt much stronger in my legs but my conditioning is still abysmal. Still, progress is progress. The plan now is a couple days off and a pair of four milers at the end of the week.
