I think that I'm over the worst head cold that I've ever had in my life.  I ran on the Gym Treadmill this afternoon and felt pretty good.  I ran the last mile @ 6:30 pace.

I was trying to stay in an aerobic zone for this run..... so I wore my leg warmers and Richard Simmons gear.

6 miles - 47:00 gym treadmill

Gym was packed.... only one treadmill available when I got there.  I felt good and ran the last mile @ 6:30 something and gradually sped up to 6:00.  I was a sweaty hot mess!

splits: 7:54, 7:51, 7:40, 7:30, 7:28, 6:57 - last .74 mile.

I felt like garbage right from the start on this run.  I wanted to bail during the second mile from the lower abdomen cramps I was experiencing.  A couple of back-fires later I felt like myself again..... that is until I stepped in the house and realized that I needed to make that last sprint to the porcelain throne :(

Bling-Bang!

10 miles - 1:15:55

My body felt pretty jankety and out of sync on this one.  A lot of little weird tweaks and pains in the first couple of miles.  Then in the second half of the run I was battling a side cramp that migrated up into my right shoulder..... annoying!

Splits: 8:03, 7:45, 7:38, 7:31, 7:44, 7:34, 7:29, 7:36, 7:24, 7:06.

2 miles - 14:30 (work treadmill)

Life has been getting in the way of my running these past two days.... if I could just break the seal on getting up early before work to run, maybe I could make it a habit.  Yeah right!

I'll try for some more running later today.... if there is time after my teeth cleaning and haircut.

4.01 miles - 26:38

I decided to go up to the 4th floor of the hospital to hit up the "Old As Dirt" Cybex Trotter treadmill in our specified workout area/closet.  I knew going into the run that the treadmill has a pre-set time of 20 minutes per workout, so I wanted to see if I could squeeze in a 5k in the alotted time. (I assume the 20 minute setting is because the mill came from Cardiac Rehab and the department didn't  want anyone dying while trying to strengthen their compromised hearts)  I started off at a 7:30 pace and gradually increased after the first half mile or so setting into a 6:40 or so.  After two miles I was ready to drop the hammer on the last 1.1 miles, but alas Cardiac Rehab set the max pace to 6:00 miles.... BOO - BOO!!!!  

The Treadmill shut down on me @ 3.01 miles in 20 minutes.  I ran another mile to round the total to 4 in a 6:38.  Sweating like a Sasquatch!

The temperature was in the high sixties today with Lots-O-Wind.  I think for me anyway, there will be an adjustment period for warmer weather running.  The run was so-so..... just didn't feel like myself.  There's always tomorrow!

First run after 4 days off.  Our Jeep was totaled last week and finding a new vehicle consumed me for the past week or so.

Fun run in shorts during a snow squall.  Isn't it supposed to be spring?

Weather was "Sweet Baby Jesus" today.  Ran my normal 4 mile route and enjoyed every minute of it.  My wife went to a Yoga class when I came back, and we are enjoying our post workout bliss.

I was trying to keep my heart rate down on this run.  I think my average heartrate was 160 bpm and my average pace was 7:53.  I would like to get my fitness level to a point where both will drop significantly.

5 miles - 36:18 / 1 mile - cool down

Splits: 7:32, 7:18, 7:14, 7:21, 6:50 - no heart rate monitor today.... it likely would have been pretty high.  That's okay, it was 53' and sunny and I wanted to run faster today.

On an unrelated note..... this vintage beach cruiser is totally B.A. (Bad-Azz)  $2500 might be a little steep, but I could picture myself cruisin down to the shore-line in Tahiti checking the waves :)

I left the house at 6:30pm for this run and it was already raining & snowing.  After the first mile I made up my mind that this really blows.  One mile left until I was back home and eating.  Splits: 7:11, 6:33.
