So I haven't posted for a couple of days so I put in my Friday & Saturday runs as well as my weekly totals. Once again, on Friday I was working for Catman (not to be confused with Batman), so I actually went running mid afternoon. I didn't look at my watch and I was kind of feeling a little slugish and slow, but I ended up running a PR on my 6 mile loop. I did not feel like I was running that fast, but my body felt it. I was definitely please afterwords.

Well, I was chillin solo all day Saturday since Kim and the kidos are out in Utah so I decided to wait until the afternoon to do my running. I was kind of dumb and ate half of a Chipotle steak burrito about an hour before I went. At about mile 6 I wanted to throw up and I had a pretty nasty side-ache, but I was glad I was able to run through it and not slow down too much. The weather was also pretty nasty and I felt like I was running into the wind the entire time. It was hail/snowing (it felt like fertilizer falling from the sky) for the run, but for some reason I always seem to run pretty good in bad weather. I was very pleased with my time and averages. I wanted to just run loose and get some good mile on the legs. I'd love to get all of my easy runs to average sub 6:30, which may be a pipe dream, but this week was a good start.

I was very pleased with my week of workouts. Once again the only thing I did was run, but I did run everyday. Also of the 40 miles I ran, only 2 were over 7:00 so I was very happy with that.

Man, your training runs are getting fast. I don't know why I always start so slow...barely hitting 7:00 pace and I feel like I am struggling. All my runs start up hill, but still.
