Training

Whatever bug I've had  went on the assault so last weekend was not good for running.  I am now on antibiotics and hope for the best.  Ran an easy 4.5 on the TM in the morning and a faster 4.6 outside on a windy cold day at noon.  

I was late to the gym this morning and only had time for 3.6 miles, but at least I went.  Since there are no street lights where I live. it needs to get light just a little earlier and I can run outside from home.  I will not miss the treadmill!

Ran 6.1 miles outside an noon on a nice, but windy day.  I am feeling more human now and ran at a better pace.  The overall run was at a 7:22 and the last 2.5 miles were at a 7:07 pace.

I was heading for the gym late again this morning and noticed that it was light enough to run outside so I bagged the club and ran 5.1 miles from home.  It was nice with about 40 f temp and no wind.  A storm is coming in and as I was heading home the wind started to pick up a little.  The timing was perfect - when I got home the wind really started blowing.

Ran the river to Pancheri at noon.  It is a nasty day outside with very gusty wind, clouds,  and about 39 degrees.  I really got to enjoy the full effect of the wind since my running pants and sunglasses were left at home.  I need to take a long run this weekend and, if the forecasts hold (always accurate around here!), we should have some nice running weather.  Average pace - 7:42

Went for a long run from home today.  The run out was not great since our spring winds were in full force and in my face for 8 miles.  Things were much better on the loop back home with the exception of an overprotective farm dog  Temperature was in the low 40s with mostly cloudy skies and one brief snow storm.  Average pace - 8:02
