This is my first blog so please be patient with me. Last night I went for a run at 9:30pm.The first mile was a warm up mile at a 8:50 pace.The next mile was at 7: 12 and the 3rd mile was at a 7:43 pace.The last was a cool down at 8:45.I like running at night when its hot but its starting to cool off and it feels great.

Tonight I ran 3.1 miles and never really got into the run. Every time that I tried to speed up my legs said no! So....I just took it easy and tried to enjoy the cool night air. A long day at work and then the wife has a wonderful dinner prepared just doesnt seem to do my speed work any good. I'll do better tomorrow.

 Woke up this morning , took the kids to school and figured that I would go ahead and run because my mother is having us over tonight for a cook-out.Yummm!! My wife can cook but those mothers are awesome!

I did 1/2 mile warm up and then mile number 1 was a 7:27.The next mile was 7:55. Slowed way down ,caught my breath and ran hard the last half  a mile at 3:35. Jogged 10 minutes for a cool down.

I may try another couple of miles tonight after the cook-out,its according to how much that I eat. (ya know)

I woke up this morning ,dropped off the kids at school and ate a small breakfast. A cool front is coming through this morning and there is a pretty stiff breeze out of the north.

It took forever to get warmed up this morning and the entire run I felt like BOTH my harmstrings were going to pull at any second.After a warm up my first mile was a 7:50. Stopped and stretched my hamy's but they seemed tighter after I got back going?? The next two miles were at a slower pace and the last was a 7:18.(yay me!!)

I'm still trying to drop some pounds. Current weight is 196. I ran a 5k in August at 205lb's and the time was 26:47 :(  I ran another 5k in September at 198lb's and the time was 24:39 :) Losing weight makes me feel like a different runner. It is amazing!

I came in from work this morning and slept until 10:30am, woke up and went and ate lunch with my wife at her lunch break.Came home and slept another 2 hours (because I have to work again tonight) and then went out for a run.

I jogged 1/2 a mile for a warm up and then did a 2.5 mile tempo run at a 8:25 pace. I had to keep reminding  myself  to slow down. Then I jogged another 1/2 mile or so for a cool down. I felt strong today, I think the rest day helped.

While I was leaving my house for the run I saw the Good Year Blimp flying over. Pretty cool I never saw that before!
