Monday: 4 miles (9:22), 4 miles (9:22), 3 miles (9:40). Two easy treadmill runs and then added a few miles at Brixx.
Tuesday: 4 miles (9:13), 6 miles (9:33). Easy treadmill run at lunch, and then added 6 miles running from the library to DCP. Cool weather outside this evening, although I still ran slow. Having not been doing any tempo runs or strides, I think I'm getting slower.
Wednesday: 3 miles (9:22), 6 miles (9:34). Ran an easy 3 miler on the treadmill and followed it up with 6 miles from the Library to DCP. Felt some soreness in the left hip at first and then alter on the right leg and felt stiff waking up Thursday morning. So hopefully that goes away.
Thursday: 1 miles (10:51). Right leg was feeling stiff and sore, so decided to stop at one mile and give it a rest.
Friday: 9 miles (9:31). Right leg felt better and I was able to get a nice 9 mile run in.
Saturday: 9 miles (9:41), 3.3 miles (9:35). I was able to get the first 9 mile run in between the rain and then ran a second run. Storm was moving in quickly and I had to do a sprint the last .3 miles to the car at a pace of 7:40. Looks like I can still get the wheels moving if I have to.
Sunday: 5 miles (9:31), 3 miles (9:30). Ran a late morning 5 miler on the treadmill and then went out on the Hendersonville Greenway in the evening to get a few more miles that I needed to get a 60 mile week.
Total Miles: 60.3 miles. Not a big week, but not bad considering I had a 1 mile day due to a sore leg. A few more weeks of easy running before getting into the next marathon training cycle.
I have decided not to run the Hendersonville Classic on Memorial Day. I'm not in racing condition and some wine tonight with no alarm clock tomorrow sounds like a better way to enjoy the holiday.

Running Log May 15 - May 21
Monday: 4 miles (9:13), 5 miles (9:25). First run on the treadmill and then the Brixx Monday Night run. Getting warm outside!
Tuesday: 4 miles (9:22), 6.22 miles (9:12). Early afternoon 4 miles on the treadmill and then ran the second run around 6:30 PM. Even though it was a warm day, there is some shade running later from the library to DCP and it felt nice out.
Wednesday: 5 miles (9:22), 6 miles (9:13). Two treadmill sessions felt nice and smooth.
Thursday: 4 miles (9:22), 4 miles (9:22). Two easy treadmill sessions.
Friday: 6 miles (9:21). Another day on the treadmill.
Saturday: 4 miles (9:22). Another busy day and I was going to run a second run, but I had a massage and felt a little sore from it, so skipped the second run.
Sunday: 8 miles (9:33). Finally got out of the house for a run. It was very HUMID out there!
Total Miles: 56.2. Life got in the way this week and I lost a little of the momentum I had the past two weeks. But we adopted a 4 year old St. Bernard named Henry on Tuesday, then Carmen's car had a flat tire in Nashville on Wednesday night while out to dinner with some coworkers who are leaving and couldn't find the wheel lock. So Thursday I went with her downtown to try and find the wheel lock, but it was no where to be found. Asked the Toyota dealer nearby if they could get the wheel off and they said not without the key. Infiniti said they could. But it was late afternoon and didn't want to tow the car to Franklin in rush hour, so I spent half of my Friday getting the car towed to the Infiniti dealer, and then another 30+ mile drive on Saturday to pick it up.
I had my running stuff on to hit a late 4 miler on Sunday to get the 60 mile week, but my right leg felt sore when I was ready to go, so I decided it was not worth running again if I'm feeling a bit sore. I also mowed the lawn after the 8 miler, so that was enough for the day.
Tuesday: 4 miles (9:22), 6.22 miles (9:12). Early afternoon 4 miles on the treadmill and then ran the second run around 6:30 PM. Even though it was a warm day, there is some shade running later from the library to DCP and it felt nice out.
Wednesday: 5 miles (9:22), 6 miles (9:13). Two treadmill sessions felt nice and smooth.

Running Log May 8 - May 14
Monday: 4.21 miles (9:17), 7.31 miles (9:23). Didn't get up for the early run today, so the first run was just past 3 PM and then doubling back with the Brixx run for a "stacked" double as my coach would say.
Tuesday: 6.22 miles (9:00). I was able to get out for a morning run, starting just past 7 AM. After a warmup, I then was able to get 5 solid sub 9:00 miles in.
Wednesday: 6.22 miles (9:26), 3 miles (9:13), 4.22 miles (9:09). Started with an easy 10K in the morning and then ran 3 on the treadmill in the afternoon and then added an easy run at Drakes Creek Park in the evening. A nice 20K day with 3 runs.
Thursday: 4 miles (9:13), 4 miles (9:22). Didn't get the early run in, so mileage was down. Opted for two 4 mile runs on the treadmill. It's a nice, cool 73 degrees in the bonus room now that I have the extra air conditioner running.
Friday: 13.1 miles (9:08). Hopped on the treadmill Friday afternoon thinking I was going to run 4 miles and then run 4 later, but decided to keep going to just do a single run. But when I was nearing 8 miles I was feeling pretty good and thought why not do 10, but then I got this idea to go the half marathon distance, so that is what I did. Felt pretty good. After miles of 6.4, 6.5, and 6.5 mph, I upped it to 6.6 mph (9:05) and kept it there. I decided to scratch running the Bison 10K on Saturday morning since I ran this distance today.
Saturday: 7.21 miles (9:31), 5.41 miles (9:07). Was a little slower on the first run after running the treadmill half marathon late on Friday. Felt better on the second run and ran it faster.
Sunday: 6 miles (9:36), 4 miles (9:38). Ran both runs real easy today but I was determined to get in my first 80 mile week in 12 months.
Total Miles: 80.3 miles. First 80 mile week since a year ago coming off last week's 76 mile week. I am hoping I can up it to 84 this next week. It's getting warmer out, which makes it harder to get motivated to get outside. Could be some indoor treadmill running.
Tuesday: 6.22 miles (9:00). I was able to get out for a morning run, starting just past 7 AM. After a warmup, I then was able to get 5 solid sub 9:00 miles in.
Wednesday: 6.22 miles (9:26), 3 miles (9:13), 4.22 miles (9:09). Started with an easy 10K in the morning and then ran 3 on the treadmill in the afternoon and then added an easy run at Drakes Creek Park in the evening. A nice 20K day with 3 runs.

Running Log May 1 - May 7
Monday: 6 miles (9:16), 6.33 miles (9:34). A nice 6:13 AM start at Drakes Creek this morning in hopes of becoming a morning runner. If I can move my training to the mornings, this summer I should get a lot better running in compared to the late afternoon heat. For the second run, got to Brixx early and ran 3 miles and the joined Dolan for another 3.33 miles.
Tuesday: 6 miles (8:36), 6.22 miles (9:11). Morning workout - 2 mile warmup, 2@MP (8:14-8:16), 1@sub 8:00 (7:43), 1@ Cooldown. Felt pretty nice out this morning, tempo miles felt nice and smooth. Easy second run from the Library to Drakes Creek Park and back. Very windy this afternoon compared to a nice calm morning. Finally went over 1000 miles for the year, a little behind last year's pace.
Wednesday: 6 miles (9:48), 6.22 miles (9:21). Felt sluggish on the morning run, so didn't try to push to get any certain pace and just ran the pace the body wanted to run. Easy 10K on my second run.
Thursday: 4 miles (9:22), 4 miles (9:13). Treadmill day with the rain outside. 4 miler at lunch time felt pretty smooth. Added another 4 miles on the treadmill in the afternoon.
Friday: 6.61 miles (9:17). After traveling to Owatonna, I ran on the Owatonna g=Greenway.
Saturday: 1 mile (9:29), 13.1 miles (9:12). After a 1 mile warmup, I ran my hometown From the Heart Half Marathon in Owatonna, MN. Didn't really go after this race, but just enjoyed running in the parks and streets where I grew up.
Sunday: 7 miles (9:37), 4 miles (9:06). 7 miles in the morning from my brother's house before having breakfast and heading back to Minneapolis to the airport. Added a nice 4 mile second run after getting home in Hendersonville.
Total Miles: 76.5 miles. Largest volume week since last June. Being motivated to run in the mornings meant I could run twice on most days. Let's see if I can keep that up next week.
Tuesday: 6 miles (8:36), 6.22 miles (9:11). Morning workout - 2 mile warmup, 2@MP (8:14-8:16), 1@sub 8:00 (7:43), 1@ Cooldown. Felt pretty nice out this morning, tempo miles felt nice and smooth. Easy second run from the Library to Drakes Creek Park and back. Very windy this afternoon compared to a nice calm morning. Finally went over 1000 miles for the year, a little behind last year's pace.
