I had a slightly up tempo 4+ mile run today: 4.27 miles in 34:55, or 8’11″ pace
My “sluggish” first mile ended being 8:16. I decided to try and kick it up tempo for the next mile, finishing in 8 minutes even. I took it easier the 3rd and 4th miles, although still well under my target of 8’45″ pace. At the 4-mile mark, I decided to run with everything I had… 0.27 miles at 6’07″ pace.
Not as much kick as I’d like to have, but still good to have that back.

- Progressive Long Run (16 miles) while watching the game #twit2fit #running One of the things that's great about football season is that you can easily do a long run on the treadmill while watching the game.

- Best run ever In terms of overall enjoyment, this was probably my best run ever, 5.3 miles in 44:31 minutes. 69'F, sunny, slight breeze, Friday, no big meetings left this week, legs fairly fresh... if every run felt like this, I'd run 100s of miles per week. I've spent the last week trying......
