With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams...

It's my easy week.  And Woo-Hoo I had temps under 70^o this morning.  First time ALL summer!!!  It was heaven!!

4:40 am 66^o  with 83% humidity  

avg pace 9:21  

splits: 10:24, 9:18, 9:18, 9:18, 9:06, 9:16, 9:06, 9:06.

How's that for consistent?  I feel like my real avg pace is better than 9:21, but that warm up mile always pulls it down.  I enjoy the pace I ran at today.  I hope I can work on keeping that pace for longer distances.  Legs were a little sore but not what I'd consider "sore legs."

x-train/rest day

did shred video first (after fighting with the dvd player for 10 minutes)

then 4 mile easy run.  avg pace 9:41.  My legs felt a little trashed from just doing the shred.  Felt like I'd already been out running 12 miles (especially when I started).

splits: 10:33, 9:33, 9:28, 9:05           5:20am  69^o  with 82% humidity

had a 9.23 mile bike ride after work.  Took the long way home...it was great.

4:40 am 71^o

avg pace 9:12

splits: 10:32, 9:24, 8:56, 9:04, 9:03, 9:01, 8:46, 8:47

4:35 am  64^o

ran slower today than yesterday.. maybe it's the weight of the world I'm feeling on my shoulders, or maybe it's just that 40 lb chip I've been carrying around on them instead.

avg pace 9:43

splits: 10:07, 9:54, 9:49, 9:41, 9:40, 9:30, 9:29, 9:30

40 minutes of extra sleep was on the menu this morning.  It's my "easy" week so I took one morning break- even though my long run tomorrow is only 8 miles.

Shredded it up with Jillian & her 2 lovely fem-bots.  Then I went on the mini-run.  5:35am- avg pace was around 8:50.

easy week saturday run.  Ran a different route with some hills- good training for that bridge at mile 20.

Ran with Wyatt.  faster pace for our saturday avg..9:14 overall. weather is getting better every week!
