running

Wanted to do a 5k yesterday but legs a little sore from Saturdays run. Today felt good. Conditioning coming back nicely average heart rate 127. Running by feel seems like I always feel like running slow. Need to add a little bit of faster stuff now. In three weeks my boys and I will run in a school fundraiser. They haven't beat me yet. They could easily if they had any strategy. They could just run with me and out run me at the end, but no they blast off and run the first mile as fast as they can and then die. I shout words of encouragement as I pass them vomiting at the side of the road.

Nice easy miles.  About 10 min slower than I was running in Dec., but not pushing at all and just feeling better.  Will probably start to drop the pace for the last few miles soon.  Today in the rain was not the right day.

3 miles at 8:00 per mile. Felt pretty good. Need to be careful about pushing too hard too fast cause I am too old.

Legs were a bit tired to start but felt better as run went on Pretty happy this week with some consistent runs.

I am a runner not a triathlete. I have a slew of runner and race director friends and we talk about all the local races. I know when something changes. I can tell you who has best food, music, bathrooms, t shirts, costumes you name it. Tri's I am so out of the loop I just found out that a big race I am doing in June, Eagleman, was in danger of being canceled. For the last month and a half no one knew if it was going to go on or not. Organizing group ran out of money. No worries now, ironman took it over. Point is I am so out of that loop I had no idea there was even an issue.

relaxed and easy.  Last 4 @ 9:00.  Last 1 at 8:27 a bit of a surprise that I had that much left  Maybe I shouldn't be taking it so easy.  Still legs are feeling the increase in milage so afraid to increase the intensity yet.  I guess that's fine I am not aiming for anything specific other than just a solid base for now.  Wondering what is the minimum number of miles I can run and still acheive my goal.
