Difficult run. Late lunch kept me from running well. When will I learn to discipline myself?

Doubled up the day. Up early for a morning run. Really enjoyed the solitude of an unbelievable morning.

Afternoon run with Kent and Mike. Warm. Did speed workout. 7x400 and tempo run of 2miles. Feel good.

I could feel the effects of a good week.  My legs are tired. I want to be ready for my long run on Saturday and put the final touches on the best week I've had for a long time.

Ran from my house to meet Steve , Jerry, Ron, and Darin coming towards me to go up Harry's Hill. We ran quick pace at times but I was lucky I caught them not at full strengh. I felt good and I'm encouraged about the overall. week I had. My goal is to maintain 50-55 mile weeks for the next few weeks and hit 60 by May 5th. I will continue to X-train to mix up the training and lift weights. to tone. Glad it's spring.

Met Mike and ran from my house. We ran strong and I felt we had a decent workout. 8 miles @ an average 7:15 pace. I had something left after and could have done more but I need to come back with a good effort on Thurs.

Met Kent and Mike and ran into the Riverbottoms. I started out really slow and sluggish from my workout yesterday. My legs felt fine, no soreness or stiff but I was a little tired to start. After a few miles I  began to pick it up and pull out of my mood. Windy and cool at times but feels good to finish a double diget run in the middle of the week. I feel encouraged with my progress to this point.

Did my hill course and pushed the pace at times. I didn't put my watch on the miles because I kept focusing on the Boston Marathon and just wanted a clean effort today. I tired at the end but felt good.

Met Kent and felt good all day until about a mile into the run. Legs are tired. Lacked motivation. Poor diet day. Blah Blah Blah ........ But I finished and feel good about my goal to increase my mileage. I need a 5K to test the waters and see where I'm at.

I felt really motivated to get back to running from taking afew days off. I did the hill course going alittle further each week and a little quicker than the previous week. I feel good and can notice myself getting stronger. My goal for the week is 55 miles.

Met Kent and Mike on a 70 degree day and Im excited to get going. Just wanted to get the miles in today and enjoy the warm temps. I plan to do a speed session Thursday and hit 52-55 miles this week. I would like to find a 5K somewhere close in the next few weeks and race to get an idea where I'm at as far as my speed.

Met Kent and Mike @ the church on a warm day. We ran well together until about 4 miles then I  I started my speed workout. 8X400 pushing the pace. I can see my progress and feel I need to keep building miles and quality workouts. After I really felt good and recovered quickly.

Up early with Mike. Got to bed late so I didn't feel like rolling out of the rack, but glad to loosen up. My legs feel good but I didn't have much energy so I will prepare for my long run tomarrow with a light day.

Did the hill course as usual for a Monday. However kent was to join me but ran in the morning so I was a "lone man in" and with the 80+ degree temps. and an increase in miles I felt the pull. I was encouraged with my effort and plan on making this run more difficult.
