Quest For Boston

Ran 11 with Dave and Gary. Total time was 1:27:26 with a couple of water stops thrown in.  Average time was 7:58 including stops.  Worked out to 7:45's without stops.  Fastest mile was 7:05 on mile 9.

total time of 39:08 for an average of  7:54

Total time was 46:40 for an average of 7:53 per mile. Felt good.

1.25 mile warm up followed by 5k time trial in 20:45. First time under 21 minutews for 5k time t4ial since coming back from injury. Followed up with a 1 mile cool down.

First mile felt realy good at 6:11. Followed that up with a 6:26; which I worked hard for.  So used to falling asleep in that 2nd mile. By the 3rd mile my legs just weren't underneath me anymore. Tried to think lift and drive but couldn't get them to respond. Finished with a 7:08. Still happy with the sub 21 and the second mile was a good improvement.

7.7 miles this morning.  Managed to get off the roads for most of this run which is nice on the old knees.  I realy need to up my mileage. Looking back at my log for the past 6 month's I only had 4 weeks with more than 20+ miles.  I realize a lot of that has been because of the hip injury but I'm feeling better so it's time to get consistent. I know I'll be needing some speed work to improve my times but am so afraid of injury again. I hated not running at all for a month.

Tried to get out before the rain started but at about a mile the sky's opened up. Soaked to the bone by mile three. All the extra weight and puddle splashing was kind of fun.  Sadly; a little bit of leg and nipple rash by the end. Felt pretty good otherwise. Total time 1:11:35 for an average of 8:08 miles. Pretty consistent, fastest mile was 7:45 and slowest was 8:18.

Legs felt heavy for the firs3 miles before they started to turn over.

Garbage miles today. Just needed to get out there and get the blood flowing. time was 29:54 for 8:12s.
