Ran two more tempo runs today (the usual routes). I ran the first tempo (uphill portion) in a new best time of 14:59 for 2.75 miles, and ran the second tempo in 18:06 (for 3.5 miles). In both tempo runs I beat my previous best. I beat my time on the first run by 18 seconds, and beat my time on the second tempo run by 37 seconds. I really didn't feel like I ran any faster that the previous times, but somehow I managed to really turn down the throttle today. After seeing these types of improvements in my times, I know that my main problem with the 5k and 10k was my ability to hold a specific tempo for an extended period of time. Hopefully my consistent work to correct this will help out my times!

An easy 8 miles today at slow pace. I feel good and refreshed, though, so I think that tommorrow should be a good workout day. This felt like a good distance and pace to run between hard days, mainly because I get my legs moving but rest up at the same time. In all, a good run (cold though).

Only 6.5 miles today, but did 1.5 miles of hill sprints. Although I did not go very far, I definitely made my running time count. This worked out well, seeing as how I have a differential equation lab due Friday.

10 easy miles today at about 6:30 pace. I felt very good throughut the whole run It was cold, but after a little while, I was definitely warm. This was probably one of the best runs I have ever gone on. It was dusk and I was up in the flatirons on a secluded mountain trail. It felt like one of the pictures you would see in a fitness magazine motivating you to go running. I couldn't have pictured a better time and place to run!

13.5 miles today at fairly easy pace (around 6:30 pace ), but did so on a route full of hills. I felt good, and I didn't feel like I overstrained myself at all. I plan on doing some tempo running tommorrow.

Ran a four mile tempo run today at 5:30 pace today. It felt terrible (I have feeling that my miles yesterday killed me today). I also think that I was tired because this was the last day of my running week (I usually feel a bit tired towards the end of the week). Thats the way it goes, though. In all, a good week of running, though.
