10/6 mile repeats

Today we met at the intermurals fileds to do 4X1600m and 2X800m. 3minutes between miles and 2 minutes betweens 800's for rest.
Jesse told us to negative split every single one or else we would have to stop. So I did 5:38, 5:31, 5:27, 5:24, 2:40, 2:35.
Decent considering the field was muddy yet again.

10/5/09 easy run

today i just ran 5miles easy on the in-field of Bowers stadium. I ended up doing it bear-foot on the grass to strengthen my feet. I ended up running 6:29 pace (32:29). Not a bad little run.

10/4 Fartlek

Today we drove out to the national forest for practice. We has 5X 4min on/3min off. It was a solid workout considering how muddy it was. I was going about 1200m/ 4 min. I hope we get a chance to do this workout again and see if I cannot run further in those 4 min.
This caps a 68 mile week for me.

10/3 12miles moderate

Today I did 12 miles moderate at home in houston in the garden oaks neighborhood. I ran very well, averaging 6:10 per mile. It felt good, I felt strong.

10/2 easy run

Today we had practice at the park, and instead of running in the park, i ran home haha. I took 75 into town and ran a little bit intown to make 9miles. i was running great too, 6:41 pace. the weather was quite pleasant as well.

10/1 Tempo

Today's workout was a 6-8 mile tempo run, 8 if you ran a good 6 and felt good.
I didn't feel good at all. I ran decent though. i went 32:42 for 6 (5:27/mile).
I was hoping for around 32:00-32:15, but i'll get that next time I'm sure.
I went 5:27, 5:26, 5:25, 5:23, 5:30, 5:27...I was hurting really bad the last 2. Every run is not going to feel good though so I have to take it with a grain of salt.

9/30 easy ten

We had practice at the state park this morning and i ran ten miles at like 6:53 pace which is pretty solid for in the park. I ran the ten mile loop backwards.
