another bike day - to be on the safe side. 

did 10-11 miles.  stopped my watch a couple times but it was a good workout 

I need to keep doing this.  I really think the bike workouts help my fitness in a different way than my current short runs do.

30 min bike ride at 1:30 to get the blood moving.  I sit too much with my job. 

will try to do 4-6 miles running when Q goes to dance class at 5:30 

 

6PM - 4 miles @ 7:15 ave pace - not sure what happened there... perhaps a little consistency is helping.  maybe the bike ride earlier in the day helped too.  anyway...

well I ate too much this weekend but I had a really positive run today.  It felt almost normal.  That's two good ones in a row, albeit a few days apart... Either way, I'll take it.

another positive run - lots of hills in this one.  I felt like I could push off both legs.  It turns out that makes such a big difference.  I was even was able to let loose a little on some of the downhills toward the end.    The past couple of weeks I felt like I just needed to keep my left leg under me and not push too much with it.

A little fatigue in the foot so I am being smart- at least for the day. 

just shy of 12 miles on the bike - 14.8 ave.  I sure am slow.  Great workout.

Had a pretty good 8 mile run.  I went out trying to do a nice steady pace.  Usually I crap out after the turnaround on this run, but I had a couple slightly faster on the way back.  Hot and sunny - mid 80s

Longest training run in a while - the slow half marathon excepted 

8 @ 7:40ish pace
