  1. RUN
    alright 30 minutes Easy on TM 3.59 mi 00:30 08:24 pace

    I had to push my long run to tomorrow and ran 30 minutes easy in the gym.

  2. RUN
    great 4 x 1/2 mile repeats + wu/cd 6.26 mi 00:49 07:49 pace

    Awesome speed workout tonight. I left the office a little late and didn't really want to go to the path or track. But I wanted to get this workout done. So I compromised for the treadmill.

    great Wednesday night on the path 6.76 mi 00:51 07:36 pace

    Base run in a nice evening. I didn't sleep well last night so I felt tired this morning and decided to postpone the run to tonight. I'm glad I did it because it was a great run. And shorts once aga... read more

  4. RUN
    good Tempo + wu/cd 9.4 mi 01:13 07:48 pace

    Tempo runs feel hard and are slower than the way I want to run them. But I'll get there (I hope)...perseverance!
    Cold and slight windy morning. I chose to run south and enjoyed the city skyline.

      I love that you put wu/cd! :) :) :) And you know that it takes a few tempo runs until you find that groove. Patience! Nice run!!

    good Monday at the Sunrise 8.49 mi 01:06 07:43 pace

  9. RUN
    good Nice and short 6.01 mi 00:46 07:43 pace

    I didn’t have too much time this morning, so I kept it short. I ran south Navy Pier and back. Still nice and no wind! I felt a bit tired.

  10. RUN
    good Windy but nice lakefront run 8.57 mi 01:09 08:05 pace

    This morning the weather was gorgeous for a run. But still very windy. I really enjoyed the run especially in Lincoln Park and took it easy. I was surprised to seeing only a few runners on the path.

    • Tony L.

      It was wonderful wasn't it! You were probably out too late because I saw many runners along the lake pre-dawn. Another great one, sir!

    I had a good run on the (c)old lakefront tonight. Windy running southbound. Walked a bit at the curve of Oak Street Beach. Very icy!
    Pleased with the run.

      I've been avoiding that curve because of the ice. Glad you are safe! See, you are making a comeback :) Nice run, my speedy Italian friend!
