day off to recover and movie with the boys :)

ran the hill on 56th west while trav was practicing  good hill workout

Ended up working way later than usual 14 hr day can wear on ya ,still managed 10.8 decent miles, lately seems like I am doing negative splits on my runs my body seems to just keep increasing the pace on its own go figure not sure how or why just go with the natural flow

Ok so today was much earlier than yesterday for getting off work ,set out to run 10 to 12 mi once I got going felt so relaxed my body shifted into auto pilot and just kept on going love it when that happens lol so even with the fog and all what a great night to be able to cut loose and run!!!

So greatful friday finally rolled around not feeling very much like working so did as little as could get away with lol . then home to relax for a bit and out for a relaxing 6.6 mi not pushing terribly hard ,more to stretch out and loosen up plus the fact my legs like it so

Kept rolling the thoughts of up coming races and hatching a plan for getting  more speed work in and increasing my vo2maxgot to do some research I am thinking  

turned out to be an all around good day and get to sleep in in the morning yyyaaaaayyy 

what an amazing day running set out to try average distance ,ended up on a new route at just a shade under 16 mi really had no idea how to pace it just went and put body on auto to pace its self and let my mind wander here and there like two hours of meditative therapy finished feeling euphoric maybe just the endorphines but my mind feels so clear and clean too :)  

Got to love sunday the miles just seem to unwind in front of me set out un decided on just how far was going just knew i was out and on my way enjoying every minute get to mile 5 before making the decision to go the 106th south (just over  15 mi) route was feeling rather relaxed and fresh even after going 16 just yesterday very positive feed back from my body getting more confident (and a little faster ) all the time 

Cant decide weather it was gut check or geek check but almost 14 mi in the rain and wind just because i would rather run outside not too cold but plenty pruned up from being soaked through still got some prep in for racing in poor weather all in all a good night 

a nice relaxing pace tonight didn't push too hard it was such an awesome night out wanted to enjoy the clear weather got a little carried away mileage wise but been doing that a lot lately guess there are lots worse things and after mondays running in the rain it was a lot more enjoyable ha ha

yet another great night for running wish i did not have to layer up quite as much maybe it will just add to my speed once it warms up a bit :) not having the extra weight and bulk other than that simply great times

took tonight to get some slower pace mileage in feeling that helps my core training almost as much as faster pace plus work on stride and body coordination getting everything to sync and move together with better balance

nice quiet serene night for a little run to stretch out and keep it loose the quiet falling snow made it all that much more enjoyable 

Running on the indoor track while trav has baseball practice was very different took the opportunity to try some faster pace miles since I was not all layered up was very surprised able to hold a great pace feeling very good training is really paying off  

kind of a hectic day had to get up and head to work first thing  instead of getting my run in early ,came back to spend a little more time with the boys before had to take them back . Any way didn't get to running until 3:40 finally got my I phone to log a workout for a change lol a little sluggish start but after about mile 3 started to get back into the rythm and the rest went very nicely ,hurried and showered before leaving for bowling still with tired legs but feel great after all :)

A little slow going today a 12 hour work day can wear on a person but still so fulfilling to get out under the moonlight and let the mind and body roll through all the thoughts of the day like a meditative trance helping me to just be ... 

was not feeling up to much today fighting off a bit of the creepin crud i think anyway almost took the night off but knew i would not feel any better if i did you know sweat out some of the toxins lol so decided to just stay in on the treadmill for a change ended up being a fairly decent work out now hopefully i can get some sleep been restless at night not sure why hoping things settle down soon if not just have to get to bed earlier   :)

still not feeling 100% but decided to give it a go any way mixing some speed work into my run breaking up the regular routine sure glad i went out have a whole new out look and game(running) plan lol the speedup sloow down was so much fun :) 

better night tonight except forgot i was going to try and ease up a little going into saturdays slctc 5k and run for a pr guess we will just have to see what happens got carried away tonight and ended up almost 14 mi in the moonlight which was very nice 

went light tonight loosened up and relaxed cant wait till morning for the 5k gonna be fun now off to get some sleep so i can be rested up not sure if there will be a pr but really feeling it will be a great day any way

race this morning felt good going out although a little tentative but going to try to leave it out there hit mile one feeling good stepping up the pace mile 1.5 a little faster yet  2 mile mark striding out keeping the breathing deep and trying not to chop 2.5 mi time to give it what i had left passing a few more runners sprinting it out finish 20.32 new PR very pleased only thing thinking need to work on the first part get it faster but happy with my run over all

after giving myself a few hours to recover from the 5k went out this afternoon for 13.25 moderate pace miles thought the run this morning would slow me down more than it did but kept an even decent pace thru the whole run although the last 3.5 mi started feeling the fatigue creeping in 

  over all an amazing day!!!!!!  really pleased with all i was able to do thanks to my training motivates me to keep putting it in

turned out to be a great day for a nice long run ground was wet when i was leaving with a mostly overcast set out with a longer strides and keeping a good solid pace through the whole run pushing down and back up the river bottom hills and up to 7th east turning north toward 114th south running through the construction was actually nice running  on hard packed dirt instead of concrete continued to 98th south turning west following down to where the trail is(150 e or so) turned back south winding through the park like surroundings back to 114th south everything feeling good striding at a good pace not too tired yet , mind unwinding while the body surges onward west to state street south to 123rd back west 4 mi left still not getting sloppy making sure to keep it all together back through the river bottoms (coming out the west side really wore me ) back to 27th west north to 12100 s and walk in to warm down sun out to bolster my spirits even more yet another great day running  :)
