Day 350

  • 6.34 miles
    • 7:40/mile pace
    • 0510
    • From/To Home
  • Negative split by 3 minutes, helped significantly by the fact that Master of Puppets started playing on my iShuffle music player and I decided to run hard for the whole freak 8+ minute song.   I really though my average speed would've been much faster, but it wasn't...I felt fine, just not fast I guess.   Anyway, did some push ups after stretching, which led to Case riding on my back for a while, so now I'm worn out.  
  • Becca ran 6+ miles after me this morning...I think together we will log many miles in the coming months, well, as long as I get back on the train at some point.

Day 197

  • 6.26 miles
    • 7:58/mile pace
    • 0630
    • From/to home
  • First half very slow, sped up on return -- 2:10 difference between halves.   Intended to run easy the whole time as I felt a bit tired, but I ran out of patience.

Day 183

  • 6.26 miles
    • 7:36/mile
    • 0625
    • From/To home
  • Nearing what I consider irrefutably the half year mark...technically I guess 183 days exceeds half of 365 days, but as I tend to think in terms of months, I have been thinking that I can't really consider it 6 months until the streak reaches 186 days, on the impossible chance that the six consecutive months are all 31 day months...yeah, running every morning makes you think in weird ways.   Anyway, getting there.   This was just an easy run out and then a negative split return -- hmmm...runner speak, have to try to nip that in the bud again.

Day 82

  • 3.2 miles (estimate, same as yesterday, though I listed 3.3 yesterday)
    • 8 min/mile pace (25:21)
    • 1100
    • From/To Gran and Gramps house (just past 1.5 mile curve)
  • Ran a little harder today, negative split well...82 makes me think of Herschel Walker, though he may have actually won the Heisman in '83.

Day 81

  • 3.3 miles (estimate)
    • 8:30/mile-ish
    • 1200
    • From/To Gran and Gramps house
  • Felt a little sore from yesterday's long run, Bec said it's the first time she's run after a long run in a long long time.   Negative split it by 50 seconds or so, after warming up it didn't feel bad.  Hamstring still a little tight, but seems to be getting a little better/looser?

Day 67

  • 7 miles
    • 7:55/mile pace
    • 1400
    • From/To Home
  • Ran 30 minutes out easy and then negative split the return...return was 7:14/mile, with final mile being 7:00.  Somewhat surprised by the speed overall, especially the return.   Hopefully I can turn a corner soon.
