OK, so it really wasn't 10 easy miles; it was a 10-mile run that felt good.  The first five were at a nice relaxed pace, but on the way back I did kind of a baby fartlek to keep things interesting.

 
First five:  7:24 avg pace

Last five:  6:55 avg pace

Watermelon Classic 5k.  Fun, hilly course.

Good day of running today. I got to run  4 miles with Lynn and then 6 with Peter.  Any run during which I get to run with them is a good run.

Whereas not nearly as enjoyable as running with Peter and Lynn, today's run was nice and cool for the most part, and running in the morning was a nice change from the usual mid-afternoon routine.

I bet there's a correlation between the sun always being the hottest when your legs are the tiredest...

If Klingons were runners, they would be ultrarunners.

Ran a little 5k on the FSU campus this morning (17:58-ish).  It was a  surprisingly hilly course, which made for a fun race.  As with most races, I enjoyed myself thoroughly and am  looking forward to the next one  I can find.

A good question posed by my inimitable mother:  "How can something be inert if there is nothing that is just ert?"

 

Any takers?

Solid run today; the fastest run of the week by about two minutes or so, actually.  The best part (I think):  I was on autopilot the whole time.

Ran another 5k today as a solid tempo run with a 3 mile warm up and 5 mile cool down.  Went a little faster than I anticipated (17:32), but still managed to fill out the daily mileage pretty comfortably.

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade.

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you.

Got caught in a driving rain today.

 

 

Best weather I've had in weeks.

"If one can stick to the training throughout the many long years, then will power is no longer a problem. It's raining? That doesn't matter. I am tired? That's beside the point. It's simply that I just have to." -Emil Zatopek

Ran a little 5k this morning(17:17-ish).  Solid run at a comfortably fast pace with enough left to cover the 6 miles I needed afterward fairly comfortably as well.  Fun race.

Good run.  First half at 7:11 pace; second half at 6:43 pace.  I swear sub-7 miles are faster than they used to be.

Started a new pair of shoes today.  I figured it was almost time for a new pair given that the last pair had ~900 miles on them.
