Monday

hills

very hilly 4 miles @ 9:04 pace. North Marina Riverwalk- sort of a lunch run, since it was officially lunch but it was about 3pm. The weather was in the high 60s.

Saturday

Riverwalk Run

I think I left the house about 7:15 and got to the Riverwalk about 7:30. The temperature was 54 degrees with 10-20mph winds. Not so bad, just a little breezy. I was wearing tights, dryfit tank top, and a tshirt. After about a mile, I took the tshirt off and tucked it into my water belt.

Grand total this morning was 8.15 miles at 8:47 average pace.
1 9:04
2 8:52
3 8:50
4 8:59
5 9:00
6 8:27
7 8:41
8 8:23
.15 8:11

Thursday

50 degrees out at 4:20 am...... ran 7.14 miles.... average pace = 9:11...........almost got hit by a garbage truck.

Wednesday

Mini-vacation is over

Ran 7.2 miles this morning at 4:20 am. avg pace = 9:41 An easy run after taking some days off. It was a brisk 41 degrees. ls nike sphere shirt w/ ls tshirt over, tights, shorts, gloves, cap. Took the 2nd ls tshirt off after about 1/2 mile. Clothes were OK.

Saturday

what a crummy week!

Work and weather joined forces to screw up my running. Thursday and this morning I got up early and ran, which is the best answer for me. If I run early, then I don't have to worry about it later on. The hardest part is waking up and getting motivated to go outside when it's 46 degrees (or colder). Anyway, I did manage to get in 8.2 miles @ avg pace = 9:40

So... I'll try to get a morning run strategy going, maybe I can string together a bunch of 8 mile runs. I might do a 10k race on October 4th, so the morning runs of 7-8 miles will be helpful.

This morning I wore tights, l/s nike sphere shirt, cotton gloves and hat. I changed my usual route a bit and saw 4 or 5 deer drinking water - they probably go to this spot every morning - so I'll check from now on to see if i can spot them. I heard them and looked down the hill. One saw me and took off but the others stood their ground.
