Training Run

Distance: 6 miles
Time: 53:35
Pace: 8:55 min/mi

Comments: Finally got my shit together and back over to the regular running location. While there has been some rain this week, I didn't think it would be an issue but, it turned out, part of my regular route was flooded. I was able to get around it but it is something to keep in mind this week.

With cool temps and level course I really struggled to keep the pace down. The sub-9 minute average was LOTS faster than I really should have run this. But I felt pretty strong the whole way and didn't have any major issues.

Not sure if I will do the four miler tomorrow or skip it and double up this weekend. A lot will depend on the weather.

Pace: 9:07 min/mi

Comments: Still having trouble with consistency but got out the door and did the miles despite a busy morning. The temperatures are now reasonably cool throughout the day so that made things a bit easier.

I ended up doing this a hell of lot faster than I intended. I pretty much hyper-focused on cadence and keeping a strong rhythm. That translated to a marathon race pace effort.

The plan now is to do three consecutive days, take an off day and do a long run Sunday.

Comments: And, once again, I slacked hard instead of getting in the miles this weekend. That's got to end now. I've only got two months to get ready for these races and I'd prefer not suffering acutely over the entire course of both of them.

Little warmer since I couldn't get out till noon. Still pretty pleasant compared to, say, a month ago. Ended up running it a bit faster than I expected as well. Not quite sure how that happened. Overall a nice effort but the goal this week is consistency.
