I only ran 8 miles last week. Ugh. Busy week.

Today I ran at lunch time. 39F and no wind, not too shabby.

4 miles at lunch from the Y. Beautiful day. Slightly overcast but 52F with little breeze. Nice and easy first mile, then faster miles. Did a progression run without meaning to. Mile 2 7:42, mile 3 7:12, last mile 6:37.

4 miles in the morning outside from the Y. Dropped off my 5th grader at basketball practice then headed to town. 40F with a slight wind, but I think it was colder than that. My gloved hands were very chilly and I had to do the finger/thumb tuck to keep them warm. The watch got screwed up so I'm not sure of time the first mile, but I turned it on just before mile 2 and I had solid times. I likely need to slow down though or I'll get an injury with a case of the Toos - too fast too soon too many miles.

Prepping now to ramp up my training the end of January for the June 50 miler. Gulp. Not sure I can manage a 50 especially with my schedule being a bit hectic, but I'll give it a shot. I think. There's still a chance I'll only register for the 50K. We'll see.

Decided to shake things up a bit. Went an extra 5/4 of a mile. Ooh la la. Ran outside as we're having crazy warm weather right now and it was 54F. Lovely. Run went well. I tried to keep it a nice steady pace but I kept going faster than I planned and where I wanted to be in the 8s I ventured into the 7s. Good steady run, hoping for the same on a 10-12 miler tomorrow. Will hit Boot Camp on Monday as I need to start working other muscle groups to prep for a good 2015 season.
