Nice afternoon, just wanted to get out and stretch the legs with a slow run.

Nice temp this morning, high 40's, but after a few miles it rained a cold rain for almost the whole run. I was just doing a slow pace anyways so I really did not mind it. I usually like a nice rain, this one was a tad cold though...and I am always amused by the looks that I get since I am in shorts and a running shirt on a day that others shiver :)

50 out this morning with more rain, so my short was wet but not from sweat for a change. I enjoyed my run, but the hands were cold when I got back in. I will have to break out some morning gloves soon. Anyone have any that they recommend? 

Run felt decent, 5 base miles then some (8) short (30 sec)  strides at 6 min/mile. Overall 8:20 pace today.

Had a little trouble waking up today. 47 this morning for my run which was decent, Started with a few (2) warm up miles and then did a slower tempo run (around MGP) for the next 7 miles. I slowed a bit during mile 9 so after 10 miles I did 6x800 intervals (around 6:35 pace) with 400 rests. Last mile and a half were slower for cool down (8:45 pace) and I tell ya that I know those speeds are not epic, but I was whipped after those intervals that followed the tempo run. 

Now I am working on my presentation for work for our meeting tomorrow. Don't worry, it wont be boring, I like fun presentations :)

Nice easy run, good cool weather... at least I think so. I did run by a guy kinda jogging who was wearing long pants, a heavy shirt, coat, scarf and hat. I am still wearing my shorts and short sleeve running shirt so he must think I am crazy.

Busy day up ahead, going to get to our meeting which is always a full day. Afterwards we are going to the Reds game though (as a company) and that will be fun.

Great meeting yesterday and all kinds of things going on today. Work as always, have a new person to start/train and then tonight we have a missions meeting. The girls of the house are doing a Jane Austen study and having fun with that. 

My run today was good. A nice 47 degrees to get me motivated. First 6 miles a base 8:20/mile and then 8 set of strides (6:00/mile) for 20 secs with a 40 sec recovery. Last 2 miles right around MGP.

Nice brisk morning, mid 40's and warming up quickly (near 60 in a few quick hours). Overall felt pretty darn strong and while I was planning running mostly at MGP (7:40), that was what I did.
