Sat. Morning

Perfect late fall morning, brisk but not cold or windy. I left Lifetime and ran along the Mississippi doing my normal route over the Ford and Lake Street bridges. I felt good through 5 miles, however I tired quite a bit mile 6 and slowed my pace and focused on form verses speed. Overall a smooth comfortable pace and run.

Easy Today

Today was easy after 6 miles yesterday. I am slowly building as I get back into a good routine. My legs feel good, I just don't want to rush into long distances without having a good base of miles.

Weeks End

Saturday I ran with my brother in-law Dan. We try to meet Saturday mornings for a 4.5 mile run and coffee after. I arrived early and ran a 2 mile loop. When I got back to the coffee shop Dan was waiting and we hit our 4.5 mile loop. Dan was a little sluggish, but around mile 2 he found his groove and we picked it up to a 6:30 - 6:45 minute pace. It was a hard effort, but it felt good.

Sunday we had a family brunch at our house, which also turned into a family dinner. A long day and a lot of food. I got on the treadmill in the evening to get the blood moving.

Easy Three

I didn't run a ton of miles this week, but I've been running daily and working out at the gym. My legs have been fairly sore so I tryed a yoga class yesterday and I felt great after the class, howevrer today it's adding to the soreness. I think in the long run it will be helpful.

Maintainance Miles

Felt alright this morning. I feel rested mentally and had a little faster pace this morning however my legs were pretty heavy. These morning short run I am really just looking to loosen up with an easy pace.

Nice Fall Morning

What a nice first morning of Fall with a very comfortable temperature and a light breeze. I felt great this morning with a good spring in the legs after coming off a tiring weekend.

Weeks End = Tired

Even though the kids were up early this morning (5am), I got in a easy run with Carter in his stroller. My body performed as expected with a lack of sleep, oh and did I mention the 4 beers at the neighbors last night? Needless to say it was a easy run to finish off the week. I also hit the gym in the late morning to lifted upper body. This week was a good start getting back on the running wagon.
