Welcome to Runtough!

Did a six miler in the afternoon for a recovery run from yesterday.  The weather was cool which made the run go even smoother.  I was relaxed during the entire duration.  Got back into the groove in the PM with another 5 miles.  My legs felt even better after this run.  Breaking up the miles tends to easy on the legs.  I like this new approach to training.

Felt strong this morning and went for 12 miles on the treadmill.

Performed another 3 miles easy as a recovery from the AM run.

Hard, fast speed workout on the track.  This was a great workout.  I ran the first two easy at about 8:09-8:40 pace.  Soon picked up the next four at a 7-7:15 pace.  I then ended the run with 4 one mile repeats at 6:54, 6:47, 6:10 and 7:02.  Walked a bit for a cool down then stretched.

Performed 5 miles recovery at a 8:30 pace.

A great day to run!  I felt really relaxed today and went for a few extra miles.  I did 13 in the AM starting at 5 then ran another 6 after work.  I feel good about my accomplishments today and hope to achieve many more.

Happy Thanksgiving!  Today was a great cool day to run.  I did 2 warm-up miles, then kicked into gear for the last 11.  I decided to run at a relaxed 7:45-8:30 pace.  Not to fast nor too slow.

Ran the first two and a half miles at a slow pace.  My legs were a little stiff from yesterday.  I did not do an evening run and I believe that cost me here.  However, I was able to sustain and picked up the pace for the remaining 8.5 miles.  I will do an evening easy 4-5 miles.  This should keep me loose for tomorrow's long 20 mile run.

I ran 20 miles today.  It was a great accomplishment for me today as I logged 100 miles for the first time ever.  Although I may not average this on a weekly basis, I do feel comfortable keeping my mileage around 85.  That's up from a 55-60 mile average this past summer.
