Another long run for me today. It was very windy and I to double back on my route a couple of times today because the streets were flooded. My legs were beginning to ache as they have not adjusted to the longer distances yet. But they will...right??

I went for a run today in the afternoon hoping it would warm up a little.Today something was different , I felt really good.

I started off at a 8:45/pace and worked quickly down to a 7:45. I tried to keep it around a 7:55-8:00/pace but my legs wanted to go faster. So...why argue with them right?? I threw in some strides at a 6:40/pace during the run which helped out on the average pace.

6.30 miles in 47:47 @ a 7:34/pace.

A great day of running for me.

I went for a run this morning after carrying the kids to school.

I am confused, Yesterday I ran 4 miles and it felt like my fitness had melted away.I struggled to finish.

Today I ran 5.53 miles in 43:53 @ 7:55/pace and it felt comfortable.???? I haven't got this figured out yet.

Update** I felt so good today that I went back out this afternoon and ran again.I did'nt warm up I just took off.

3.1 miles in 23:26 @ a 7:33/pace This would be a new pr by 28 seconds if I were running a 5k. I dont want this day to end.

Feeling better again today. It felt wonderful to get out and stretch my legs!The temperature was probably 60 degrees, the only draw back was that the wind was gusting 35 - 40 mph.The head wind was rough but the tail wind was fast and furious.I am starting to get back to normal. :)

6.44 miles @ 8:33/ pace

Finally feeling well enough to run again.I kept it slow and easy because my legs felt like noodles.Still quite a bit of drainage which was kind of gross.I am glad that I was by myself.

It still felt good to be outside on the road.

3.26 miles @ 8:45/pace
