Hillbilly Runner

AM run , mid 50's and overcast no breeze perfect day for a run. First mile was slow to warm up then kept a steady 8:20 pace till the last four miles and ran them at a 8:00 pace, ended up with a 8:15 avg pace overall.

AM run before church. No garmin just putting in some miles.

AM workout before work

Afternoon run after work 70's. I felt better on this run than I have in the last several months. I started out with a 1 mile wu then picked the pace up the next 5 miles (7-7:10 avg) the last couple miles was a slower cooldown. Not a fast run by no means but a pain free run which makes things a whole lot more enjoyable.It's amazing how much more you can concentract on your overall form(stride-turnover) when everything feels like it should. I"ll take tomorrow off from running to give everything a rest. I think me and my daughters boy friend are going to see the movie Lincoln tomorrow night, That sounds like a Good night !!!!

I was headed to the gym to endure a long run on the treadmill when I got a break in the rain so I headed out. My goal today was not speed but a steady pace and to spend some time pounding the pavement to build up some endurance. "Mission Accomplished" and just in time, it started raining again just about the time I got finished.

Got in an easy Christmas morning run after opening  presents.

I hope everybody has a "Merry Christmas" I know I sure did !!

We had a littile snow last night so took my daughter to work and worked out at the gym before coming home. It was hard not to hit the treadmill for a few easy miles but I had a rest day planned in prep for a long run tomorrow. It's so hard not to over do it when you start feeling good after working your way back from an injury !!!!  

Good old long run today to work off all this over eating that I've done over the holidays and "Boy" could I tell it. Nice day for a run 30 degrees slight breeze and cloudy with still a little snow on the roads. Not a very fast pace but I ran a course with lots and lots of hills, not a lot of huge one but a lot of them.

8:21 overall avg pace

Morning workout and a run on the treadmill.

7:45 overall avg. pace 1% incline

Afternoon run 30 cloudy, windy and snowing huge flakes, needless to say it wasn't a day for shorts but I had a good run anyway. I didn't wear my garmin because I didn't want to be tempted to run any faster than a good steady "easy" pace.

Afternoon tempo run 35 sunny and a little windy but overall not a bad day to run.

7:31 overall avg pace

Morning workout after work

Afternoon easy pace run. 35 cloudy with a little misty rain
