Gulf Shores, Alabama




10.89 Miles 1:15:00 6:53 average per mile
147 HR average
2:00 pm) mid 40's chilly

Ran a nice new route today it was a nice change. Top picture is
from the bike path I ran. It was around 5.3 miles each way. I
did not see any runners only a few walkers and a couple bikers.
I felt bad on this run. I think the increased load from the past
few days was the major factor. Legs were heavy. Still ran it
hard though.
Got to go we are going out to dinner soon.

Another good day of running. My only issue is the blister on
the bottom of my foot. It hurts! I think I will take the
morning off tomorrow and see how the afternoon run goes.
I have a new route picked out for tomorrow so I'm excited to
run it. It's around 5 miles or so each way.
Today I did the touristy things walked on the beach and picked
up sea shells and went to the souvenir shops. Having a fun time.
Weather has been great. Looks like it will get colder tomorrow
though. Still nice running temperature.

My second run today was very fast. Not sure what's going on.
I felt good but did not feel that good. Makes me wonder if my
Garmin is right. The first mile it was acting up but seemed
fine after that. I'm running much faster than at Wisconsin
and with the same HR or lower.
Wore my New Balance 800's tonight and got a blister on the
bottom of my foot. First blister I have had in a while.
Plus it's in a spot I have never had one. Maybe because with
those shoes I midfoot strike even more than usual. Will have
to keep am eye on that.
Today was another busy day. We spent over 6 hours in the car
driving. We drove to Panama City, Florida. Took over 3 hours
each way even though it was only 120 miles each way. Lots
of stop lights and speed limit was only 45 or under most of it.
Got home late and did my run. Then watched 24. Tomorrow is a
rest day other than running of course. Having a great time here.
Don't want to go back. I have a few more days to enjoy it though.

8:46:32 74.71 Miles for the week. This is the most I have
ever run in a week.

Felt good today. The wind was kind of a pain though. It was
out of the east and the road I run is along the coast and
runs east to west. So I had a headwind and a tailwind. It
would feel easy when I would run with it but difficult against
it. I hope tomorrow is less wind or north south. The weather
was nice today. Upper 50's low 60's. Better than it is at
home. I did some antiquing with my parents today and went
to some flea markets in Pensacola, Florida. Tomorrow we
are going to Panama City, Florida to visit a friend of my
parents from church.

I thought this was going to be harder than it was after yesterdays
long run. I did not really feel any effects from yesterday. HR
was low so I'm happy with this run.

144 HR average
Mid week long run. I think this is the longest I have
ever gone on a Wednesday. I felt good tonight for the
most part I felt some fatigue in the last few miles.
My HR was good tonight I was glad to see it was not
very high. My pace was a bit faster than I should
have run. I am trying to run at 7:15 pace but keep
running under that. Not really a big deal just don't
want to push to hard as I am adding more time and
miles to my schedule.
