| | 5 windy miles this morning from home. The nice part about running into a strong headwind on the way out is running with the wind on the way home.
Quads a bit sore from Saturday's run but warmed up pretty quickly. On the way back I took off my jacket and hat, just shirt sleeves and thin gloves. Ah.

| | Too tired to wake up (twice) so slept in. Had a lunch meeting so no run. Will trade off day with Thursday.

| | 45 minute tempo day. Oy vey, this was tough. First time in my life that I got close to thinking about puking from running. I was never on a high school sports team so nobody ever pushed me to my limits. I ran at 9.3 mph/6:29 pace for 15 minutes today and if I would've kept that pace another few minutes I would have gotten queasy. That was tough. Started the run at 6.0, then 6.5, then 7.0, then at 15 minutes I bumped up to 9.3 and held it. Watched the latest Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. while running and that was pretty good for keeping the mind off the pain, although commercials are the worst. I really considered walking in the middle of this stretch but kept going. At one point I did hold onto the treadmill arms and lift myself up a bit but that was only for a few seconds. Kept going and burning and pushing. When I finally hit the end of 15 minutes I walked at 4 mph for 6 or 7 minutes, then finished the remaining time at 7 mph. Not exactly a true tempo run because of the walking after the fast paces, but I definitely got what I needed out of that.
I was exhausted last night so I went to bed just after 9, which I normally only do if I'm sick. I think the 20 miler then only getting 6 1/2 hours sleep per night since took a lot out of me. I have to get more sleep after my long runs.

| | 6 miles outside this morning, uphill into a headwind. Fun. Lotsa fun. The return home was nice. Windy but not too cold out.

| | 6 TM miles, 5 MP before making breakfast-in-bed pancakes for my wife. It's hard to keep going on those MP miles but getting easier.

| | 12 butt cold miles outside. 15 degrees, felt like 3 or colder with wind chill. Up my steep hill then turned around at 6. Last 5 were 7:19, 6:36, 7:30, 7:36, 7:16. Massive downhill in mile 2, solid uphill in 3 & 4. Happy with this run. Praying for good weather April 19th.
