Ran and walked 6 miles with my running group. I wanted to talk a bit with some of the beginners, I ran the last 4 miles in a row on my own and felt the best I have felt in over a week.
3 miles after Monster Trucks with the kids at MP and I did not feel anything. I am so glad I took it easy last week because I feel I am ready to start training.
Tomorrow is the first day of an 18 week training program. Will take it easy with speed work if any for the next 2 weeks.

6 miles first day of the 18 week program. Today is just a recovery 6 mile run, I averaged 7:04 for the 6 miles. I did not feel the right knee at all and a bit on the right groin area but not a big deal so I was pretty excited when I was finished. The last mile I started thinking about how I might not ever run fast again but when I looked at my garmin I was at 6:30's so I picked it up comfortable and I was running 5:30-45's so maybe the garmin was off but it was the perfect pick up for day number 1.
Tomorrow is 8 miles with 8 times 100 strides and then my running club in the pm. | | Add Comment |

Ok here is the deal, I am proud that I handled last week mentally and emotionally. I enjoyed life last week eventhough I was not able to run. I also was very disciplined and although I cheated a couple times with testing the TM, I did rest and I learned that 1 week off running will not hurt a fittness level.
Today I felt reallllllllly alive. I am still nervous but I tested a quick 5k - 18:13, not bad and good form. I then slowed and ran most of the rest of the 8 miles at 6:50 pace which felt nice and easy after running the 5:50's for 5k.
Running my running clinic tonight so I will get a few hill repeats in and some easy running/walking.
Next test is tomorrow's med. long run.
P.M - running club, 1 mile 6:10 pace, rest was easy miles and some walking while coaching and talking.

Chrysler Green way trail. Thought it would be better for my feet but I like pavement!
7:17 avg for the 17 miles, felt slower. The first 8.5 miles was into the wind about 10mp felt good. I picked it up for 4 miles but started to get tired because I did not hydrate, I am used to colder weather were I don't have to have water for 20 miles but now I better start planning. I ran those 4 miles around 6:50 avg with the middle 2 around 6:35, felt pretty good.
Had some rain which felt good for the last 3 miles, so glad to be done.
Grabed a g2 and jumped into the pool while it was pooring rain, ahhhhhhhhhhh!
No right knee pain and the right side was ok except for the first 6 miles.

so much for the 6 mile recovery run that I was suspose to do today.
decided to do some yasso's on the tm at the gym. did not push it 5:50 pace and I took 2 mins between instead of 1 min. I did 6 800's and a mile repeat. don't have the speed like before boston but i think it will come back as long as i heal up 100%
might do some recovery miles tonight if Sarah works out downstairs with me.

Had to work this morning really busy with patients. Weird time to run and it was pretty hot, not used to the warmer weather.
First 6 miles was into the wind which was not strong but I really could not find a groove, I worked really hard the last 4 miles which were all around 6:45. Knee was fine but over all I felt a bit off.
The problem with running easy is I start to think about how the heck am I ever going to run a 10 k race under 6 min miles if I am tired at 7:20's? All mental, I need to relax.
12 miles, good effort for a negative split, average for the entire run was 7:12's | | Add Comment |

6 miles flush in the morning, tired and legs felt heavy.
Just had a quick window before going out for dinner so I played some tunes while my 4 year old Sadie sang and jumped on the mini trampoline, fun.
3.1 - 18:09, slow start up on the TM and no flats, I was actually wearing old runners that I wear cutting grass, I thought they were my regular ones. 1 mile cool down at 7 min. mile.
72 miles this week and I feel pretty good, I am suspose to be doing less speed and more recovery miles but I am glad I had some speed work in because I have a few road races coming up and I need that confidence going into them that I can run under 6 min miles for up to 10 k at least.
Hey Dave I don't ever spend the time to add runners to my fav., so if you read this I hope all is well with you and the family and of course your running.
