Clydesdale Runner

Nice & easy TM this afternoon. Just wanted to keep a good pace and was able to get 23:53 (7:57 avg). I was trying to maintain an 8:00 pace and am happy to report that I was able to do that. Ran 8:03, 7:58 and 7:52.

It's definitely warming up - I was in my gym on the treadmill and got quite heated up in there. It's probably close to time to open the windows and put the fan on me when I run!

Jeff - I hope that knee is getting better - sounds like it still hurts when you run? I'd keep a really close eye on that one bud!

Man - you gotta love xc and mud - they just are the best runs!

This is my first time running this O&B since being back. I've avoided it because of the gradual downhill and uphill -- then I turn around and have the uphill heading home - it's not that difficult really - I was just gun shy.

Ran it in 33:03 (8:15 avg) and didn't really feel either hill. Pace stayed consistent throughout (8:21, 8:09, 8:16, 8:17) - so once again I am a little farther along that I had expected!

Had a new route I wanted to try - and it was fun. I was hoping to get to the backside of foremaster by mile 2, but got there at 2.75, which was alright - I just walked and jogged home after 4M. The hill was once again incredible and fun, but only went up once today.

Total time was 34:35 for an 8:36 avg - and with that hill in the way, that was an awesome run!

Had a nice little morning run in the park - actually not in the park as our park is not very big - just an expression. Ran 4M, first 3M was really good - ran 8:25, 8:02, 7:46 - then right at the start of mile 4 had some MAJOR stomache cramping that just floored me - it was just a stop, walk, jog repeat from then on. Isn't that weird, you are running along enjoying the run and then BAM - crazy!

Was running in my new Spira shoes today - the ones with the wavespring technology: I'm not sure if the comfort level was there as much as they say it is -- but my foot was coming off the payment quicker and my mile splits were about 5-10 seconds faster than normal -- so I don't really know - I probably need a little more time to see -- and a better morning than this one was!
