Day 26: 1st day of the 8's. Pretty tired this morning. Got sprinkled on a little bit too. I willing to bet the weather played a small part in my lousy mood this morning.

Day 25: Perfect way to finish the 7's - I caught one of those zen moments of running. It was only for about 3mins but it was bliss. Yay for running.

Chris ran 7.39 miles in 53 mins goodA St. - 7 – 7.39 mi / 00:53 07:12 pace
Day 24: Last day of the 7's and also 1st day with the Frees. It was nice to run in these shoes. They're very lightweight and so far very springy though I think that is typical of new shoes (and especially when your old shoes have SO many miles on them)... read more

Maybe it's just me but I love the feeling of broken in shoes. They get more flexible and something... something I can't put my finger on .

Day 22: Burr. Pretty cold out this morning. Felt relaxed the entire way and even sprinted the last mile. I am getting better at finishing strong. Maybe I will eventually learn how to properly negative split a distance/race.

Run easy on the first half, then kick it up on the second.

Hi Chris. There are some inexpensive Garmins on the market right now, particularly the 205. Check out www.amazon.com. I recently got one for $142. Take care.

Day 21: So happy this run is done. Not that it was hard but because it marks my return to my "normal" mileage training. After 4 weeks, I am finally back to what feels right and my body is agreeing with me again. It is such a load off of my mi... read more

it's so hard to not push ourselves to the levels we want to be at when we're hurt, but obviously, the rest and recovery will make you stronger than before! Glad to hear you're hittin' your stride again.

I watched till the end... had to turn away at times with all that bouncing around in your final sprint haha... where will you get your hill workouts in Bakersfield? Sad to see you go... let me know if/when you're ever back in town and we'll go running again.
5 days agodefinitely looks like an intense run... I'll have to remember this come fall, if I'm not running something else (CIM?) around then; thanks for the info David.
3 days agoI really want to do CIM this year. If you haven't run your BQ by then we should both do it and run the 3:10 pace group together.
