Chad's Runs

No miles of the weekend.  This got to stop.  I hate getting up early on Fridays and Saturdays, but if I don't I never seem to find the time to get out.  Crap.

Super slow this morning.  I don't know what the deal was.  It was warm this morning with a bright moon and great running conditions and I didn't feel tired or anything.  I was just slow.  Average pace 9:20.

Had the alarm set for an early run but just didn't want to do it and went back to sleep.  It was such a nice day that I went home a little early to fit in a run in the after noon.  I didn't feel sluggish like yesterday and ran at 8:21 average pace.  I haven't been running enough so I'm going to take tomorrow off intentionally.  I'll be back on Thursday.  I've got to put in more miles so I'm ready for Utah Valley in June.

7 miles after work during a beautiful sunset.  Pink stretched across the entire sky from east to west.  Another good average pace of 8:15.  I started out faster but ran out of gas a little for the last two miles.  It'll come.  I'm thinking of 10 on Saturday but I'm not sure I'm up to braving the snow.  Is anyone going to run in the storm and want company on Saturday?

The wether reports were intimidating and I was a little scared about this run last night.  I woke up this morning to calm weather, damp roads and 33 degrees.  Perfect.  So, 10 miles on the JRP, 9:04, negative splits, relaxing.  My knee feels fine but my lower legs feel a little tight.  I need to pay attention, stretch, and not crank up the miles for a few weeks or I'll get shin splints.  30 miles this week is more than I thought I should run when planning it last week but I felt so good I just went with it.
