Running Log

Long run. 8.58 miles in 1:21:41. 9:30 AP.

I started out really slow with one block of walking. That mile was 11:40, or about an extra 2 mins due to the walking. My first few miles were in the 9:40-9:50 range. Eventually dropped those down to nine minute pace. Mile eight, the last one, I sped up and hit about 8:00. First mile and last 1/2 mile had lots of drills and skipping. 

Easy run. 2.01 miles in 21:14. 10:35 AP. Mason got up early, so I pushed him in the stroller. We left later than usual, and I ran the first block with him. Legs felt tired, not sore, after my long run yesterday. 

Hills run. 3.15 miles in maybe 28 mins.

5 hills total. Each one about 100 meters long, rising about 50 feet.

The cloud cover was super dense today, and I noticed my Garmin watch paused a few times. It seems like the clouds interrupted the satellite signal.

Trail Run in South Milwaukee. 6.75 miles in about 58:00. 8:35 AP.
I ran from the high school to Lake Michigan through parkway, along a river, then along a trail that runs along the cliff stretching along Lake Michigan. Pretty cool, man. Pretty cool. When I was running along the trail, I noticed that I ran faster than along the concrete sideways or the road (8:00-8:45 pace).

Easy run. 3.5 miles in 31:52. 9:07 AP.

I pushed Miles in the stroller today. Pretty cold and windy.

I hit 24 miles this week (most miles in 2016). 5 runs out of 7 days, 2 days off due to crazy long days. 1 quality long run (longest run in 2016). 1 quality medium run (on trails with hills no less). 1 decent hill workout. 2 easy runs. Those are all positives.

However, those 2 days I didn't run could be used for a bit more mileage. I also didn't get in either a tempo run or a track workout. There ya go.
