running

Felt pretty good. Increased pace last three miles quite comfortably. Average heart rate 130, max 155. Wasn't working very hard. I guess that's a sign of getting in better shape again.

Back on the treadmill. Roads icy in spots and just can't risk it. Kids and I pretty sick Monday night so didn't get out yesterday. I hope we are soon done with the bad weather and all the winter illnesses. Drawing for NYC marathon today. I want to go back for redemption. I have never walked in a race before and I don't intend to again. If I don't make it in via the drawing I will have to make other plans to get in. I am pretty close to the qualifying time and would just need to run it in a nyrr race to guarantee entry.

On the treadmill at work.  5 miles 8:45 average.  Kept picking up the pace throughout.  I kept waiting for it to get harder.  It didn't, whole run felt really good and easy.  Maybe last quarter at 7:30 was work but still felt good.  Happy about this run it's the first time it has felt easy and relaxed since December.

Nice easy run. Last 4 miles picked up the pace to 9 min miles. Felt comfortable. Felt a little too good at the end. Will add some distance next week.
