Well, all I have to say is, IT'S ABOUT TIME!!  I finally feel focused and ready to go, and I think the work out reflects that focus!  Now, It's about consistency!!  First 3 @8:34, next 2 @8:00 then 4 @ 7:30 with the last mile coming in @7:00.  Feeling pretty good after and look forward to another good day tomorrow!!

Well, it was kind of a weird run tonight.  I started out nice and easy as planned, but then I got a HUGE side ache.  The pain stayed with me until about mile 4.5 and I finally started to feel good, but the problem was that is when it was time to run up hill into the wind.  My splits started to drop, but not near enough to reflect the solid effort I was putting in.  Anyways, I guess it was probably good for my legs to run the whole distance at an easier pace.

First 4 @ 8:34, followed by 8:00, 7:30, 7:03, then the last .35 @ 10 min pace to cool down.  Didn't want to be at the gym, but I made the best out of it!

Well, the run didn't go as planned today, but there were definitely some positives.  First the bad . . . I had to cut it short because of some frequent bathroom stops (trying to keep it PG here!) The good news was that I still hit my goal of 40 miles this week, as I slowly build up to the 60-70 miles a week range,  and I was able to finish with a decent push.  Anyways, looking forward to my slow but steady build-up!
