Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

Long run total of 22 miles. Pretty easy till last 7. I didn't have my Garmin due to it being repaird, so clocked run in car last night. Goal today was to run 15 normal then the last 7 at goal pace. I ran down main on 50% grass/dirt and rolling hills. Felt around 8:40 pace and probably so according to time. Ran home for the last 7 on the treadmill so I could be on pace. First mile was sort of rough for some reason, splits were: 7:47, 7:27,7:32, 7:24,7:24,7:19,7:19. I wish the pace was faster on these, but I have no idea what pace I should be planning on, so due my right knee being a cry baby from mile 16 on, I played it safe. Altogether around 2 hours and 50 minutes. Two breaks total-one bathroom break at mile 6 and at mile 15 when I got home to get on the mill (9 mins total). Iced knee and went to Chiropractor today for tens therapy and ice. I also purchased some liquid glucosamine I am pretty excited about!

Easy to moderate run today. A little tired from doing my 20 miler only 5 days ago but wanted to get it in early since my half marathon is in less than 2 weeks. I'm getting excited!

Today I went to the gym but only had 30 mins so I did 15 mins of spin, and 10 of elliptical. Better than nothing, I guess.

In a hurry today again because I was so unmotivated and waited till last minute to do the workout. I did 1 mile warm up then 6x800 at 6:27 pace then 1X1600 at 6:27 with a 200m jog inbetween each interval. I resisted the urge to go any faster since I wanted to get a steady pace set for my half next week. Workout felt easy, probably should have done a few more, but ran out of time. I think my speed workouts need to be increased- I hate doing them though. If I could do a long run everyday I would:)

Afterwards went to the Chiropractor for tens treatment, ice, some exercises and adjustments.
