Nice decent paced run up a hill, around, and back to the Y. Not sure of splits, but in the 9-9:30 range I think. Cooled down with a .3-.4 walk back, which I've been doing quite a bit of. It's nice to be cooled down when I get inside. Then did 3 sets of my squats, shoulders, and curls. Ended with 1:00 plank, 1:00 bicycle, and 25 pushups. Going to run to work tomorrow as part of Bike/Walk to Work Week. Think I'll do the same on Friday. Have a scout campout Saturday so these will sub for my long run.

Ran from home to work as part of Bike/Walk to Work Week. Rained part of the night so the first 0.8 miles was muddy but only a slight drizzle the rest of the way. My kids got me a bright yellow/green long sleeve tech shirt for my birthday last month and I'm glad I have it. Nobody was going to hit me this morning. Hands were cold the first few miles up on top but warmed up when I dropped down off the hill and got closer to town. A nice run, I kept up a good pace most of the way. Probably too fast for a longish run but I wanted to get to work at a decent time and I left 15 minutes later than planned. Overall a good morning and a nice hot shower at the Y.

AP: 8:24; splits 9:20, 8:21, 8:18, 7:47, 8:28, 8:30, 8:22, 8:08.

Easy peasy 5 miles. Legs a bit sore from yesterday's longer-than-normal midweek run so took it nice and easy. Must have accidentally hit the start button after stopping so my AP is messed up. Beautiful day outside. 55 with a slight breeze and some clouds. Going to be raining the next while, so they say.

Splits 9:44, 9:03, 9:09, 9:33, 9:00.

3.1 miles in between rain showers. It was spitting when I started so thought I'd get caught in the worst of it but the spit ended without fanfare. A nice run on a fairly chilly day with the breeze.

AP 8:36. Splits 9:07, 8:15, 8:27. Avg HR 144, Max 154.

Ended with 3 sets each of squats, shoulders, and curls. This morning did 8 minute abs.

4 TM miles at the Y with my beautiful wife nearby, but she didn't want to stick around for a long run and I definitely didn't want to do TM miles for 12 +, so we then parted ways and she drove home and I ran. She beat me. Thankfully had a break in the rain for my run, although I was going to do it anyway. Lots of wind hit once I got out of town but it was sideways. Gusts are decent when the wind knocks your right foot into your left calf. Happened a few times. GPS wouldn't start up for the first 1 1/2 miles so not sure of my splits, but did well. Stayed in the mid to low 8s for most of it. Lots of elevation the last 4 miles so pace dropped off a lot (think it climbs 600 feet?) but was able to keep it up for flattish stretches. Overall good run.
