I ran the full hill on Iroquois park on Friday afternoon: Sunny and mid-80s. I had a sluggish start, but enjoyed being able to run in the near-summer temperatures after missing out on running most of last summer. The “real uphill” to the top never seems to give me any trouble, although it is somewhat tiring.
Distance: 7.54 miles
Duration: 1:11:52.92
Pace: 9:33 / mile
Today’s run was back on the treadmill for the first time in 4 days, continuing the streak at 56 days. I added a long sleeve technical shirt to offset the effect of being under the air conditioning vent in the basement.
Distance: 7.35 miles

- I ran 15 miles at sub-9 pace the hard way #running #twit2fit (and on the treadmill at 11pm) I decided that I'd do a progressive workout, starting @ 6.0 mph (10'00") and going to 7.4 mph (8'06"?), by 0.1 mph increments per mile.

- 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......
- At a medium pace... 5.7 miles in 47:32 (8:22 pace) #twit2fit #running After weeks and weeks of building mileage and mostly running slowly, I'm ready to start testing the waters a little bit on what my legs actually have in them. If my mileage stays steady, it looks like my legs currently have roughly a comfortable 8:30 pace in them. After a......
- Medium run, up-tempo last 3 miles #twit2fit Streak day 48, 6.73 miles in 1:00:11 (8:57 pace). I decided to do a little up-tempo work for the last 3 miles of my run today, in preparation for Johnny's 5k. Nearly four miles into the run, I went for a target of 8:00-8:15 pace for the last three miles,......
- Ran for the first time. 2.16 mi in 18:18 #twit2fit I intended to go outside to walk 2 miles, despite my back being pretty tight still. Leaving the gym, I had to decide whether I wanted to bring my iPod Classic (arm band) and phone with me (no pockets). Doing so would have guaranteed that I wouldn't have run. However,......
