9 miles – 1 ½ mile warm up, then 4 x 2,000 meters, followed by 2 ½ cool down to the gym.  Was pretty pleased with the pace as it was my first speed workout in a while.  Splits for the 2,000s were 8:26, 8:03, 7:58, 7:58.  Next up will be a challenging run on Saturday.

8 easy miles, and then 11.59 miles of MGP pace miles.  Only stopped twice during the MGP section, and only once in the final 10 miles.  Needed that run....now to carry on that momentum...

It was pretty cold yesterday so I hit the treadmill instead. 1 mile @ 8 min/mile pace, then 7 ½ miles at 7:03 pace on a hill program.  “Climbed” 550 feet.

Easy pace, but very hilly run this morning. Pretty chilly, with the wind gusts being pretty biting.

Cold & raining.  Legs felt very tired so had to let the group go on ahead, but still (just) about managed to get the distance in.  Last weekend I had a great run, and today was a reminder than you need to keep plugging away and can take nothing for granted.

7 mile recovery run this morning.  Didn’t have to work so waited until the sun had some up for a change ;o).  Felt pretty good.

Nice cold morning.  Felt good until around mile 6, then started to tire.  Still managed 8 miles at MGP, but then legs really tired so bailed out early.  Oh well there is always next week ;o)

Its days like these I wish I didn't write a blog ;o).  Legs felt very tired today for no apparent reason...well its been a stressful week.  I hope its just that.  I'll run on the trail tomorrow so hopefully that will go better before a big run on Saturday.

Not the greatest run today.  However, I kept it going and managed to crank out some MGP miles at the end.  Let's hope its allergies...
