Of Mice and Marathons

PM: 13.7 miles, averaged 8:02

1:50 easy with the last 20' somewhat moderate (about 7:20-7:30 pace).

Ran on the roads rather than the park (for most of it anyway). I was hoping to pick up some of the trails to go to Dodge Park (where I ran with Jeff Shadley not long after I got here) but the paths were flooded. I turned around and thought I would go the other way as originally planned but figured that would be flood as well, so I ran back the way I came and finished up at the park before headed home. My legs and body are not used to running on concrete. Cold and damp with some snow showers just before I left.

PM: 7.6 miles, averaged 8:32

PM: 13.2 miles, averaged 7:34

Fartlek: 20 x 1' on/off @ 5k effort + 10 x 30" on/off @ a bit faster 

30' up/20' down

I should have gone out earlier in the sun, but as usual the worst party of the weather occurs when I'm ready to go out. This happens all the time lately. Light rain and wind, but not too cold. Felt just okay throughout and then strong at the end of the 20 x 1. The 30" intervals added a touch of difficulty.

PM: 7.3 miles, averaged 8:55

Legs were a mess. Not sore so much as stiff. Zero range of motion.

Noon: 6.2 miles, averaged 8:37

Ran on the University of Toledo trail. Very hungover. A jog in the cold felt great though.

Happy Thanksgiving!

PM: 7.1 miles, averaged 9:08

Ran the first 30' or so with Megan. Did 6 x 20" strides. It was in the lower 50s, which didn't feel warm exactly but pleasant.

PM: 7.7 miles, averaged 8:26

First few with Megan from 9:48 to 9:18, then progressed from there to about 7:00. Got up late as we were up late. Having trouble getting out of bed. A touch of seasonal depression along with the typical standard variety.
