running

No time for much today so ran the middle two miles faster. 8:20. Felt ok, not all out, but not effortless either.

It got cold again, but I am not complaining, no snow or ice is good . 7 easy miles. One at 9:08 thought this is comfortable could run 10 miles here. How do I get that to be comfortable enough to run 26 miles there? A rhetorical question really. More miles, faster miles. The finesse is how to do that without getting hurt or divorced.

9:38 average just getting in the miles. About a min slower than I was in December. Two months off is very bad for older runners. Two months off, two months back should have same conditioning as before, right? Seems like no. I guess it doesn't really matter I am happy to be running pain free.

Slow but steady. Not a surprise was on my feet all day yesterday. Must have walked ten miles in New York with the kids. Eating on the run wasn't so good either, yummy but not healthy.

Ran this at a pretty good effort. 9:20 average. Will probably do this run again in a month to see where I am. I should be able to run under 9 on a flat course after breakfast on rested legs. So feeling pretty good about my conditioning for Broad Street. After tomorrow's long run I will shorten the runs and speed things up a bit.
