A mild, humid morning for a long run. Ran later in the morning to get some training time around when races are run. Not too warm or sunny.

Today’s run was a 14.4 mile fairly flat route. Pace was an easier 9:54. Weight was 148.2.

Waited a bit this morning so I could go out at about 8:30. Early morning running doesn’t really involve the Sun but obviously races do. Still mostly cloudy and mild (70) with some wind, but definitely humid.

Today’s run was a 10.73 mile hills route. Pace was 9:35. Weight was 148.4.

After giving the left foot a few days off, it’s time to try it and see how the tendons right at the top of the foot are feeling. No idea why my Hpka Carbon X2 shoe tongue seemed to dig into that area on Sunday. I put some padding in and didn’t tie the shoe too tight, and all went OK. Not a long run at all but enough for a test.

Today’s run was a 3.75 mile hills route. Pace was 9:44. Weight was 148.8.

Today was a cross-training, recovery kind of day. Nice and easy. Good thing, since there was quite a bit of yard work to do.

Today’s cycling route was an 8.05 mile rolling hills course. Pace was 4:58. Weight was 150.0.

A cool and very damp early morning for a long run. Tried using Beta Fuel from SIS for the first time in a long time. That mixed with SIS Go Electrolyte seemed, at least for today, to be a very good combination. Experiment, experiment, experiment.

Today’s run was a 17.3 mile rolling hills route. Pace was 9:43. Weight was 149.2.

A cool and misty/rainy early morning. Temperature around 56 degrees and a good breeze. Not bad at all.

Today’s run was a 10.6 mile rolling hills route. Pace was 9:15. Weight was 150.0.

Some days the training run isn’t too bad. Other days it feels like you’re running through quicksand. Today was closer to the latter. Just a day to put your head down and grind it out.

Today’s run was a 10.6 mile rolling hills route. Pace was 9:31. Weight was 149.2.

A very warm, sticky morning. Temperature at 5AM was around 74 and the feel-like was well over 80. Good training weather.

Today’s run was a 5.3 mile relatively flat route. Pace was 9:43. Weight was 150.0.

Today was a cross-training and recovery day. I’d rather get out and do something the day after a long run instead of just taking a day off.

Today’s bike ride was a relatively flat 7.15 mile route. Pace was 4:35. Weight was 150.0.

It’s Sunday, so that means a long run. Took it easy and didn’t push. First get the distance up and then start working on pace improvements.
