| Raining today so on the treadmill. Mentally tired. Hard to be uncomfortable today so couldn't really push as hard as I wanted. Just kept increasing the pace to 7:30 miles | | Add Comment |

| easy pace with the group. Thinking about spring marathons. Need one that is about 50 degrees and downhill and within driving distance of Philly. So far no options that I love. Perhaps first I need to get myself into a position where I can run the time I want to and then worry about where I can do it.

| 9 min average. A few in the 8:30 range. That is a bit fast for me but I will not get dropped when running in a group. There might be one woman in the group who is slower than me, out of 15 or so. It was a hard run but not so hard that I will be sore. | | Add Comment |

| Getting colder. Polar vortex or something. Worried about ice the whole way but didn't find any.

| A bit further than I planned. Was running down to meet a group and ran into some who were doing extra miles. So ended up doing the extra miles. About 6 miles under 9 min pace. Overall good effort. Still looking for that downhill spring marathon. | | Comments(1) |

| Went for a hilly course today. The legs were tired from yesterday. Not a great run but what I needed today. | | Add Comment |

| Cold and windy. Went for the treadmill. I theory I plan to use indoor days on the treadmill to work on speed. But it is so boring. Going from 8:20 to 8:12 kept my heart rate around 150. I think I should be faster. That really wasn't a speed workout. More of a 10k pace. | | Add Comment |

| Pretty hilly run. 8:30 to 9 min pace. Struggled to stay with the group on some of the hills. | | Add Comment |

| Did not run the Philly half for a number of reasons. Mainly its too big a time commitment to run it as a training run. I am not in a position to shoot for the time I want so wouldnt have raced it and needlessly came away with sore legs.
Ran 10 miles at 8:48 average. Felt pretty strong until last mile and a half. Still able to hold the pace without increasing physical effort. Mentally it was work.

| 8:30 average. Last mile in 8 min. This might have been a bit too fast especially on a pretty hilly route, but it felt good and I needed to get back to cook.

| Seems like yesterday was a little too hard. Resting heart rate was up by 10 today. Nice easy run today. Cold but I shouldn't complain about 27 degrees when others run when it is so much colder.
It's hard for me to know where that sweet spot is to train. Thirty years ago I just ran every workout as hard as I could. Now I have been trying to get in 2-3 hard workouts a week. After almost a year of this I expect to be getting better. It doesn't really seem like I am. I have picked up the intensity of my training again after the half. Been running shorter workouts faster but have dropped the 16 milers. So am I any closer to my goal?
