3.5 miles: short run

This morning I did a short 3.5 mile run. Lots of work and trying to limit the miles a bit so I can do another 20 miler next week.

20 Miles: Stick a fork in me.

Today I ran 20 miles. The first 12 went well then it started to get warm, the last 3 were rough (upper 80's and sunny and humid). I still managed to go about a minute per mile faster than the last 20. However,  I'm rather beat now.

6 Miles: They can't all be better than average.

Today I ran 6 miles. After a few good runs in a row, it makes sense I was due for a below average run. I didn't feel sore really, just low in energy. No great reason for that. Could be from the uptick in miles lately.  It probably also didn't help I ran around the hottest part of the day and I have been running in the morning.

5.1 Miles: The sevens

Today I ran 5.1 miles. I did the Starbucks and back run. It was 77 degrees and 77% humidity at the end of the run. Good pace run.

5.7 Miles: Good run

Yesterday I ran 5.7 miles. It was warm but overcast. It was a good run. I'm starting to feel like I'm getting in shape for running the marathons.

3.7 miles: Short run

This morning I did a short 3.7 mile run. It was way more humid than I was thinking it would be. I think I lost about a pound per mile in sweat.  Decent run otherwise.

20 miles and 88 degrees

Today I ran 20 miles. It was a good run considering the mean heat that will not go away. It was 88 and sunny at the end of the run. I ran around town for the first 14 or so and then did loops at the local park.
A dog did come after me in a local area I normally avoid. I think I remember why I avoid that area.

4.5 Miles: getting a bit cooler

Last night I ran 4.5 miles. It is starting to get cooler at night so I ran rather late. This was one of the better runs this month. Running schedule should improve greatly over the next few weeks. The boy starts full day kindergarden.

6.5 miles: Park to home

Today after spending some time at the park with the family I ran home and some loops near home. Good run. It's still warmer than I want but fall is coming and that means winter is next (I'm smart).

4.5 miles: A loop run

Today I ran 4.5 miles into town a back. I followed a different path there to make it more of a loop than an out and back. 

The audio book is great. I didn't listen to it today but I've been listening to Bram Stoker's Dracula.  I can only imagine what it would be like to wake up to a bat in your bedroom.  Scary stuff.

Thursday I ran 12 miles. It was a hot 88 degrees and sunny. Ok run but hot.

5 miles Wednesday

Wednesday night I ran about 5 miles. Average run.

4.5 miles: Wind sprints (Saturday)

Last night I did wind sprints. I ran across a soccer field fast and then walked back and did it again and again. I jogged to and from the soccer fields.

I was mainly just being lazy because I didn't feel like running the whole time. However, my overall time was fairly fast so I'm not sure how lazy I was being by sprinting part of the time.

20 mile run: slow but fun.

Today I went 20 miles. It was overcast most of the time and in the lower 80's. This was very possibly my slowest 20 ever. I wouldn't say it was my worse because I actually started to feel good the last few miles and I had fun.



I'm normally against running in circles but I wanted to listen to an audio book today during the last half (last 10 miles) of the run and running in traffic while doing so didn't seem like a great idea.

1 hour run (thursday)

Last night I did a one hour run. I took it very easy as I knew today I was doing a longer run. The run was just about getting out and about for an hour.

10.5 miles (Wednesday)

Yesterday afternoon I ran 10.5 miles. It was a typically summer day but not crazy hot. Decent but not great run.

5 miles (Friday, Saturday and Monday)

This past weekend I did 3 five mile runs (on average). Good runs pace runs in humid weather.

4.5 miles

Today I ran 4.5 miles. It was warm and humid. Ran the first 2 fast and the last two and a half at a variable speeds. Good run.

12.5 miles: Summer slog

Today I went 12.5 miles. It was in the mid 90's and humid. Perfect weather to hate the south in.


Not a great run but it's done.
