So annoyed with myself about forgetting to post, because then I can't remember anything about the runs anyway.
Last week was 4.5 on Tuesday and Thursday, and 3 on Saturday so relatively easy in terms of mileage for last week.
We ran in the park on Saturday and it had been quite a while, but those hills sure haven't changed.
The details or lack thereof:
Tuesday, June 22
4.6 miles
48:04 ~ 10:26 / mile
Thursday, June 24
4.6 miles
48:04 ~ 10:26 / mile * turned off Garmin on accident, but we ran the same course and it felt like the same speed.
Saturday, June 26
3.12 miles
32:55 ~ 10:33/mile
Tuesday, June 29
4.57 miles
46:19 ~ 10:08 / mile * Haven't run close to a 10 minute mile in a long time so this actually was an accomplishment for me. I slowed up a little towards the end, but it actually felt pretty good.

Whoops, I did it again
Forgot to post all week, that's what.
This week I ran Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I need to get that Wednesday run it, but it's just been hard to fit it in with everything else going on. I also really want it for the extra miles.
Tuesday's run felt a little harder, but I also realized that I was going much faster than my normal. My legs just felt heavy during part of the run. Not sure if that is from not running since the Saturday before. I probably should be adding some sort of cross training in on Monday.
Tuesday
4.06 Miles
39:46 ~9:47 / mile
Thursday, we slowed down a bit and it felt more "normal." Wish I had more to add, but when we start at 5:45 AM, I'm usually lucky to have my eyes open.
4.08 Miles
41:38 ~10:12 / mile
Saturday, our plan called for 8 and we were doing the Bruegger to Bruegger course that I've heard Liz and a few others talk about. We started with a loop around the neighborhood behind Breugger's since the total loop is only 7 miles. Once we were done with that, we started out on our regular run. It was pretty hill which I expected, but you never realize how big some of those hills are when you're driving them.
I felt pretty good most of the way, but once we got to Hobbs and it was uphill, that took a lot out of me. I was fine for a while, but turning into the neighborhood and seeing more hills did me in. I walked up two of the big ones and ran again. I think sometimes you just have to and it's OK. Not what I want to do on race day, but I'm not going to beat myself up about a training run.
Time wise, I felt OK. Finished with under an 11 minute mile pace, so for 8 miles + heat + hills, I'll take it.
8.08 Miles
1:28:17 ~ 10:55 / mile

The past 2 weeks
Whoops ... it has been two weeks since my last confession, I mean running post.
So, I'll try to remember what I've done the last two weeks.
The week of June 1: Two 3.5 milers on Tuesday and Thursday and I honestly don't remember much about them. Saturday was 7 miles and it was HOT. And, then a little bit hotter. We ran through sprinklers on the side of the road hot. Did I mention it was hot? I also turned off Garmin mid-run and forgot to turn it back on, so that was a bummer.
The week of June 7: Two 4 milers on Tuesday and Thursday on the new greenway that runs in between Battleground/Lawndale. A nice change of scenery and nice to have a new place to add on a few miles.
Saturday long run called for 8 miles. Maria and I had to go early so we started at 6AM and I'm so glad that we got in some of the course early. I felt good ... we were a little slower than other long runs, but that's OK. I felt good with just a little tenderness on my knees at the finish.
Total distance was 8.03 miles, time was 1:30:06 and the average pace was 11:14.
