Run

Ran 4.08 miles at a 11:30 pace with Daniel, his wife Andrea, his mother-in-law Marilla and Zoe their 10 year old dog. The temperature was not a problem at a little above 60 degrees, however the wind was noticeable. The motionbased report is here.

It was cold again this morning, I dressed more warmly than on Wednesday’s run. I wore the same pants, gloves and headpiece. Over the mid-section, I wore a light sweat-wicking tee shirt, my blue warm up clothes, and my reflective windbreaker. For the most part, I was warmer, except I was sweating, so when I

It was cold this morning, the TV said it was in the mid 20s, thus the short run. I also did not get the GPS going until about 1/8 the way through the run so it registers a little short. It should say about 1 mile. Heres the link to the run. I wore my

One quarter of the way through my Interval run it started raining. I had adjusted the distances on my two intense legs and I was just getting them dialed in. The new interval session is as follows: Run until lap is pressed. Repeat the following 4 times. Run .33 miles keeping pace below 8:45 minutes

I ran the Trail Of Lights 5K this evening, but I just about didn’t make it. I left a more than an hour before the race, but I should have known something was wrong when I hit the heavy traffic at about 45th street on Mopac. I was moving only about 35 mph on the

I really needed to get out and run tonight, for the last several weeks I have been sloughing off. First was the two weeks in Europe then giving blood on Monday and they said not to exercise for 24 hours. Then to top it all off, my usual Wednesday group had other things to do;

Wednesday night’s run was interesting. Normally I run with my Wednesday group, but that is petering out now that daylight savings time is ending, the holidays around the corner, cold weather, etc. Several weeks ago we met Amy and her friends on the Town Lake trail and they invited us to run with them. So

I had a real hard time getting going last night for the run. Yesterday it turned cold and I just did not feel like running. Finally about 9:30 PM I changed into my running cloths and hit the road. Here is a table of the results. It’s interesting how my first intervals are very close

The Tuesday run will be very similar to last week’s run. The main difference is that I will do 8 intervals instead of 6 and the min speed has been changed to 8:45 minutes per mile as opposed to 9:00. The workout is as follows: Run until lap is pressed Repeat 8 times Run 0.25

Tuesday run went a whole lot better than expected. I expected the times to be 9 minutes or more and I thought I might have trouble getting all the laps below 10 minutes. Here is the results: Lap Time Pace RT 1 2:09 8:36 0:54 2 2:13 8:52 1:17 3 1:59 7:56 0:35 4 2:15

Here is the plan for tomorrows interval run. Wait until lap key Repeat 6 times Go .25 miles at a pace of 8:00 / mile to 9:30 / mile. Let heart rate go under 105 bps. Wait until lap key. Go 1 mile The first interval will start at the top of the hill and

I ran 10 miles today. Daniel, and his wife Andrea ran with me for the first 6 miles. Andrea’s mom joined us for several miles. It was a beautiful run, the sky was clear, the temperature about 60 with very little wind. We ran at about a 12 to 12.5 mile pace. You can check

This was my first tempo run this season also the first with my Garmin 305. I was hoping to be able to run as fast as I had last season but alas I was much slower than before and there were some strange anomalies. The most interesting one was my heart rate. I’ve used 165
