Fox River Trail

10 Miles 1:08:58 6:54 average per mile
12:45 pm) 60 degrees Sunny Very Nice!
Didn't push the pace today. I ran low 7's for the first 5
then had some sub 7's on the way back. Still feeling yesterdays
run some what. Need to take it easy this week with a race coming
up on Saturday.

61.37 Miles for the week. Good week mileage wise. Probably the
most I have ever run the week before a marathon.

9:00 am) low 50's Sunny
Not a great run today. Felt tired and did not enjoy the run as
much as I usually do. No big deal I have had way more good runs
than bad ones.
Looking forward to next Saturday. My first trail race of the year.
It's the marathon distance and is a 2 loop course. I have never
run the course so don't know what to expect. I have no real goals
for this one. I would like to place well though. It's a small field
so top 5 is probably very obtainable.

Mile/Speed/Incline
1/7.0-7.5/1%
2/6.7/5%
3/6.7/6%
4/7.0/6%
5/7.5/6%
6/8.0/6%
This was a good workout. The added incline sure made it tough.
I would like to start doing more of these type of workouts. I
need to do even more incline as I get more of these under my
belt. These should help me at Pikes Peak in August. I did lots
of these back in 2008 when training for Pikes Peak.

Fox River Trail

10 Miles 1:04:05 6:24 average per mile
5:10 pm) 40's Windy and some rain.
Was kind of pushed into running this one fast. It started to
sprinkle when I started and I wanted to get 10 miles in but
didn't feel like getting soaked on either. So I figured the
faster I run the sooner I would get done. It never really
rained that hard on me but as soon as I got home it did get
worse. So I guess I'm glad I got it done.
Wanted to do some trail running instead but it rained quite
a bit last night and the trails would have been a mess.
Tomorrow looks wet again maybe snow even. Where did the nice
weather go?

6:00 pm) Treadmill
Started out easy and slowly picked up the pace. I ran hard the
last couple miles. First time running on the mill since March 11.
It's been so nice lately I have not wanted to run inside.
Tonight though was a easy decision it was raining outside. I do
think I got a very good workout in though. My shirt was soaked
when I finished. I felt more tired after this than running 6:30's
outside. I need to do treadmill once a week in my opinion as it
forces me to run hard and not slack at all.

5:15 pm) low 60's
Started out before the group and did 3.5 miles then joined the group
and ran with the Mike S., Mike D, and Scott L. Felt good tonight.
Ran in the New Balance MT100's. So far I'm liking them.

11:30 am) 50's
First time this year running these loops. Nice to be back. These
are some challenging loops. Not technical but they have hills.

Ran in some light shoes on the Red loop New Balance MT100's.
They weigh like 7.6 oz. I like them just not sure if I can wear
them for a marathon. I'm used to a heavier more supported shoe.
I will try doing 10 in them tomorrow and see how that goes. I have
a trail marathon in 2 weeks and I'm hoping to wear them for it.

51.25 Miles for the week. Okay week only 5 runs. Had a great run
on Wednesday and Friday was a killer.
