Well, I put 10 'easy' miles but they weren't so easy!  Warmed up 2 miles then for the next 5 miles did 1 minute hard followed by 4 minutes easy jog.  Warmed down with a 3 mile jog.  Last half mile was a walking cool down.  I was drenched from sweat!  Had a great partner to run with.

w/u 10:30, 9:59, 9:28, 9:24, 9:31, 9:42, 9:52, 13:11, 11:09, 14:00

Well, today actually turned out to be a decent run.  I was very skeptical.  This past week has been a very, very tiring week for me.  I thought I was just tired because of the busyness of life.  Then I thought maybe I was getting sick as every afternoon I felt feverish and my stomach has been bothering me a bit.  Well, I just wasn't sure I was going to be able to go the full 20 today, but it worked out and I realized WHY I had been feeling so tired during the week...I got a Yellow Fever vaccination last week Sunday and the symptoms last for 5-7 days.  So, that's why I felt so awful!  Glad that's over.  a/p was 10:33

Very hot and humid these days.  I'm having to run in the late afternoons so when we start it's literally like an oven, but the time we finish there's a bit of a wind that helps to cool us off.

Hard but great work out today.  Warmed up 3 miles, then did 5 miles of fartlek, 1 minute hard and 4 minutes easy.  Then cooled down for 2 miles.  It was tough.

11:03, 10:43, 10:55, 9:37, 9:38, 9:45, 9:46, 10:25, 11:57, 11:01

Had a nice easy run today.  Ran 2 miles, then there's a kids running club that we've started that meets on Monday's and Wednesday's.  Today we ran 2 miles with them and because it was so warm out we ran as a team and took a 1 minute walk break every 4 minutes.  Kids really enjoyed it.  Then we ran another mile to get our 5 miles in.

Nice run this morning.  a/p was 10:16

10:58, 10:28, 10:01, 10:08, 9:54, 10:21, 10:08, 10:20, 10:44, 9:40

Nice run today.  a/p was 10:24 (last week was 10:33).  Felt strong at the finish.

10:58, 10:59, 10:46, 10:34, 10:40, 10:29, 10:35, 10:30, 10:33, 10:09, 10:36, 10:35, 10:20, 10:07, 10:41, 10:17, 10:07, 9:56, 9:59, 9:30

Had a nice workout today.  Warmed up 2 miles, then did 1x100 HARD then 1x100 walk and did this 4 times.  Then did 1x200 HARD followed by jog 200 and did this 4 times.  The did 2 miles at marathon pace (target 8:55) and first mile was 8:56 and second was 8:50 then warmed down for about a miles.

Today was a 10 mile day but decided to only walk a bit as you can see.  I ended up having to run my long run on Friday so Thursday was an easy day.

Boy howdy it was a warm one today.  I had to get my miles in before dark and the earliest I could start was 3:30.  Got going at about 3:45 and it was WARM.  about 90 with 100% humidity.  So, my miles were on the slow side.  My target was 20 miles, but only made it 18 before it got too dark.
