Chad's Runs

I slept through yesterday's run.  The alarm went off and I turned it off.  Laid there for a bit having it in the back of my mind that I needed to get up.  Finally got up and noticed that 15 minutes had past.  Pretty good, I wasn't that late.  I looked again and it 1 Hour and 15 minutes.  Crap.

So this morning I had 2 days rest and it showed.  I had a good quick run at 8:30 average pace.  Only 1 second off my year's best.  However, I did have my fastest mile split on mile five.  7:52.  Little by little it's coming back.

I also had the opportunity to clear out some spider webs on the JRP this morning, so that was nice. 

I pushed it yesterday so I took it nice and easy this morning, 9:30s.  I also struggle on the second day of back-to-backs.  I just don't have the fitness to hit that second day very hard.

I didn't want to run this morning.  The alarm went off and I really wanted to go back to bed but I'm glad I didn't.  2 miles of warm up and cool down and 4 half mile repeats.  Ran them in 3:43, 3:33, 3:39, 3:39.  I'm happy with those times but I didn't have much left.  My legs were getting pretty tired so I'm not sure I could have put in another couple at 3:45.  But it was fun. AND HOT.  70 degrees at the start of the run.  It hasn't been that hot since July.

Didn't have much energy for this run.  I don't have my Garmin with me but I think the average pace was 9:10 or so.  Would have been even slower but there was a guy to pick off on the last mile so of course I had to pass him.
