Ran out on the river trail today. I couldn't get the GPS started until the first mile so I am not sure what my 1st mile split was. I assume it was right about 8:00, maybe a bit under.

8:08 (2nd mile)   8:23   8:14  =  8:15 average at 166 average BPM

Great treadmill run today. I felt REALLY good. I'm not sure exactly what that was from. Maybe sleeping more last night, having a good pasta and chicken meal yesterday, or taking the weekend off. Probably a mixture of all of them I imagine.

I ran at a 8:27 pace for the most part for the whole distance and my Garmin Forerunner said I averaged a 152 BPM. That is very encouraging!

Kind of a random running day today. I did .5 mile on a track, then went to the gym and ran on the treadmill almost 2 miles, then the power went out and the treadmill stopped. It must have been a glitch because the power turned right back on, but I had to start the run over and finished with that slight break.

Hit the gym in the PM for chest day. My shoulder is not 100% and it is killing me only being able to bench press 100lbs... oh well. Slowly but surely when recovering from a surgery right?!

A great run today. It was nice and cool, probably the last one of the spring/summer for us down here in Georgia. I ran good today around a .5 mile dirt track. I ended up running faster than I normally do, but I was okay with that. I hit the last .25 fairly quickly. I picked it up, not a dead sprint, but wanted to hit it harder.

7:56   7:52   7:52   7:42 (1:40 .25 mile) = 7:47 AP at an average of 169 BPM.

Went much slower today. Used the same track, just a slower pace. My legs were kind of sore from lifting yesterday and probably for running sub 8:00.

8:49   8:29   8:23   8:22 = 8:30AP at an average of 167 BPM.

Legs are feeling a bit sore/possibly injured so did a little run with the PVTs today. It was their first run of the cycle, so it was short and fairly slow. I bet we ran between a 8:30-8:45.

Starting to feel a bit weak and maybe some over-training. I think I am going to cool it for the rest of the week and see how I'm feeling come next week.

Good run today. I felt pretty good, I think the rest from last week was a good decision. My ankle is feeling just fine and I felt really good running today. I did a warm up mile and then ran a PT test with the PVTs today. I think our fastest guy did a 11:33 which was moving. I started as the last man began, and by the time I got to the mile mark there were only about 25 guys ahead of me...and that was a fairly slow mile... These kids need some work!

7:47 (this was really a warm up, but felt good)   6:43(uphill on the first half mile or so)   7:41 (ran slower on the way back with some of the weak PVTs to motivate them)

= 7:25AP at 168ave BPM
