Just run

Warm up and cool down lap with a lot of pullups and abs in between.

Nothing but sprints.  The only difference was on the 30/60s where the recovery period was a jog instead of a walk.

While I measured this at close to 5 miles, I'm pretty sure that it is just over 4.5.  I just need a more reliable method of measuring.  To get to the mile marker 9:34.27, then a 10:04.75 mile, followed by 28:05.26 to finish the loop and get back home.  I'll re-measure and see what I get.

Loop time: 47:44.28

Climbing drills.  If I were hanging on to the edge of a cliff, I'm pretty sure I'd be a goner after the results of today's workout.  Fit three laps in.  One for a warmup, one for a cooldown and one in the middle for good luck.

Stripes run this morning.  I am painfully aware that all the people I can outrun have moved on to greener pastures.  For now, just trying to enjoy the fact that I can still "run."

Out - 12:48.76   Back - 13:21.50 = 26:10.26

I was slightly disappointed to walk outside and see no snow on the ground.  On the other hand, as I headed out on my jog, I didn't have to worry about slipping or obstacles or holes hidden by freshly fallen snow.  It was extremely quiet and peaceful just like a weekend jog.  I saw two walkers and two cars and that was it.  It was a little windy, but I just took my time and tried to enjoy the moment.  Took a little detour at the end to lengthen the route just a little.  Jogged at about 11:10 pace.  I really do have to re-measure this route again.

58:06.81

Went for a jog since I'd been sitting all day.  Didn't help that I felt bloated, but jogging at my own pace means I can put up with just about anything.  I did have to slow to a walk for a few minutes because of stomach trouble.

Two miles in the morning.  Out - 8:41.69   Back - 8:58.04 = 17:39.73

Still had a little left in the tank.  Wonder what my mile time would be for just one mile.  I would like a little bit more of a buffer on that second mile.  Well, I'd like to work down to 17:00.  I just suck really bad at pacing.  It feels to me like I'm running the same speed the whole time.

Did the loop this evening.  Clear blue skies with a full moon and no auto traffic at all.  Just took my time.  58:31.

The route is probably closer to 2.25 rather than 2.5.  Good morning for a run.  Temp at just above freezing at 34 degrees.

Out - 12:54.92  Back - 13:21.52 = 26:16.44

Walked with 67 lbs.  Finished in just under 2 hours.  I was worried about my feet, but my feet were fine.  My shins got a little stiff.  I just hadn't done any "speed" walking in a while.  I would definitely need to train for any distances longer than 6 miles.  My legs started to lose their zeal right around the 4.5 mark.

First real run of the week.  I wasn't feeling it at all.  My stomach felt full from whatever it was that I ate last night.  My left shin felt that running was not the right thing to be doing until I hit the 2 mile mark.  After that, everything felt about normal for a fun run.  I was definitely not trying for any speed records today.  Getting out this morning was an accomplishment.

To the mile marker: 10:15.18

Mile: 10:48.92

Remainder of the loop: 31:47.45 = 52:51.55

Still feeling that Christmas dinner in my stomach.  The roast was really good.  Turkey trot route.

37:51.13

University route.  Let's just say that there was a little too much celebration with lots of good food.  Glad I got out for a jog.  

Out - 28:34.29    Back - 28:18.65  = 56:52.94
