Ran 10.5 miles today and the weather was good, although a bit hot. Overall, a good run. Last long run before the 5k on Tuesday.

Only ran three miles today (an easy run to allow myself to get ready for the 5k on Tuesday)

Ran a 5k today and did so in 16:49. I am dissapointed because I felt that I did not run my best, and that I could have improved my time by a factor of at least 45 seconds.

Ran 9.5 miles today at an elevation of 6,700 ft which was quite a task. It was good however that I had the opportuniy to run at this altitude to improve my stamina. Overall, a good run!

Only ran 4.5 miles today mainly because I did not feel very good. It is hard to run when you are feeling under the weather.

Ran a total of 10 miles today with some very tough terrain. Ran up two very long hills and ran five miles at near max pace. In all, a great workout.

Frusturating day. Worked from 5am to 1:30pm, so I could not run in the morning, and by the time I got home the temp. was up to 95 degrees. I am hydrated, but don't want to risk running in such heat. I am disapointed because yesterday was my rest day, and I am being forced to take another day off.

In the end, I squeezed a workout in at night time. Nothing too long or extensive, but enough to get a coulple of miles in. A very large hill proved to be a difficult task, especially after a long day.

Ran 6.7 miles at a 6:10-6:15 mile pace. Began slower (7:00 min mile) and worked my way up to about a slightly sub 6 minute mile. In all, a decent workout.

Ran 6 miles today, but I was forced to run at night once again because of work schedule. Measured off a 5k and did it in 17:10, but I ate about an hour before, and worked about eight hours. I still ran ok, but I know that I could have ran better had I ran fresh in the morning.

Found a new running trail today that is perfect for a combination of long distance and speed workouts/hill running. Ran 10 miles total, five miles in, five miles out. Picked up the pace for the last five miles to finish in 57:56.

Ran 6.5 miles today in very hot conditions. Legs felt very heavy, and I couldn't get into any type of rythmn. Overall, a pretty bad feeling run.

Only ran 5.4 miles today because I have to work this morning, but I did so in 30 mins. flat. This averages to a 5:33 mile, with one half decently steep mile hill and a very steep quarter mile hill. In all, I am pleased with this mornings run.

Ran 6 miles total today. I ran the first 4 miles at easy pace and last two miles at about a 6:00 pace. In all, an easy run. Since my summer job ends sunday, I will begin a new workout routine (suggested by Sasha) next week.

Ran very little today due to heat and work schedule. Ran 2x400 meters at 5:15 pace after running 4.5 miles, 2.5 of which were at threshold pace. In all, a small workout.

Ran 12x400 meters today for a speed workout. For the first 1600 meters I ran 4:34, 2nd I ran 4:37 and 3rd I also ran 4:37. My fastest 400 was 66 seconds, slowest was 70 seconds. This was probably one of the hardest workouts that I have ever done, mainly because running such fast 400 meters back to back makes your legs feel like spaghetti. You know that it is a good workout when your lungs feel like fire, your legs are shot and you are only halfway done. For some weird reason, I ran 69 seconds for almost every single 400 meter lap. I guess that must just be my max pace at this point in time. Although I only ran 3 miles at max pace today, it feels as if I ran 10 at sub 6:00 pace. I started and finished with an easy one mile jog.

Ran 6 miles in the morning at about 6:30 pace. In the afternoon I ran four miles with a endurance coach that I met at a previous race. We discussed training strategys and ways to improve running speed. She had much valuable advice (seeing as this is her profession), and was very helpful as far as providing tips and strategys.

Ran 4.5 miles today at 5:30 pace, but did so in 90 degree (F) heat. Took yesterday off because I feel as if I may be overtraining a bit. I think than this is true because I am having trouble sleeping at night (I have been told that this is oen of the sure signals). I think that I will take tommorrow off and repeat last weeks training regime, paying closer attention to what my body tells me. In all, however, todays run was good.

Ran 12 miles today, my longest run to date. It took me 1:15, but I sped up on the second half, running it in 36 mins. I feel that I need to run longer distances, mainly because I need get in better aerobic shape. How fast I run in 5k and 10k races is solely dependent on my heart and lungs, not my leg power. I think that if I get in better aerobic shape, I can greatly reduce my times.
