| First track practice with my new running club, Checkers AC!
12x200 with 200 recovery vo2 workout. Aiming for 40 sec for each repeat. Repeats were 39, 41, 41, 38, 38, 39, 38, 37, 37, 37, 38, 38. And a 0.75 mile warm up (got there late) and a 1.75mile cool down
Felt good overall, the first 9 were easy but I was ready to puke the last 3. They got tough. I was excited I did not have to do the workout solo. My pace group had about 10 in it. Looking forward to next week

| Wanted to run in the park but when grocery shopping instead and ran a little later with Ralphie (who was bouncing off the walls). Ran at a comfortable pace (7:55) as my legs were a little beat from track yesterday. I think it was a combination of the fast repeats and older shoes. These have about 300 miles on them, I think it's time to start rotating in a new pair |

| Wanted to run when it was light out so I ran right when I got home from work. Ran 7 miles down to and around the park and home (pace 7:36). I got to run about 4 of it on the cinder path which I like to do for my legs. Felt good over all, just a little tired . I'm pretty sure I saw a cat get run over on my way to the park. The car definitely ran over the cat but I couldn't tell if it was already dead from a previous car or if that was the car that did it in. On the way back though I saw a guy scooping it up with a towel. Sad :( |

| Was planning on doing it Sunday but I ended up getting, what I suspect, was a mild case of food poisoning Saturday night so I ended up lazing around on Sunday. This was my last long run before my half on May 5th. Started out pretty stead and felt good over all. Managed to finish the last 3 miles faster which was a confidence booster. 7:52 average pace for the whole thing.

| Really got lazy and skipped the last two days, now it's time to play catch up! Since it's starting to be light in the morning again after the BS time change I'm back on my trying to get up early schedule. Today was especially tough because I needed to be at school of 8:30 to proctor a test. Out the door at 6:15 to run 8 miles. Knocked off the 8 at about 7:30 pace. Felt pretty good overall.

| Left the car at work last night and went to get it this morning. There was impending rain so I had to squeeze it in. I was orginally suppose to do a tempo run but I was not up for the effort so I ran a quick pace (kinda in no-man's land) as to not completely wuss out. Averaged 7:15 overall and felt pretty ok but my right shin meat is acting up again. Back to icing and PT |

Checkers Practice #3 (8 x 400 at mile pace) 1.5 mile warm-up
8 x 400 at mile pace (~80 sec) with 400 recovery.
Times: 78.78,79.78.78.78.79.74
1.5 mile cool down
I also wore my HRM and was fitting about 186 bpm (96% MHR) at the end
of each repeat which was fun to see. Cadence during the repeats was
93-97 spm.
Felt pretty good and I was surpised by how little I was hurting
compared to the others in the group. I seemed to recovery a lot better,
hopefully that bodes well for me. Right leg shin area was a little
sore after, I'll have to watch it; these shoes are getting a little old.
I also got to meet one of my wife's former co-workers, he was in the same speed group as me

| AM: I was conisdering doing a race but my heart just wasn't in it. Had no motivation to go and run hard. Plus it was a little wet and windy out which killed anything I had left. So I scrapped it and ran 4 on the treadmill before work (working both days this weekend doesn't help my motivation). Easy 8:34 pace PM: To make up for not doing the race I did tempo intervals on the treadmill after work.
1 mile warm-up
2 x 3200 @ 6:18 with 2 min recovery
1 x 1600 @ 6:10
1 mile cooldown. Felt strong during them, hopefully I'm getting faster

| After being extra lazy this week I decided that I should maybe run. Tempo run at the park. Ran down to the park, did 3.5 miles at tempo pace and then ran home. Pace during the tempo was 6:22. Felt pretty ok but a little labored. The inside of my shin are also starting to act up again. I hope that I can pull off the 1:25 next weekend at my half

12 mile long run with my friend. Ran 3.5 to meet her (7:41 pace) then 4 with her and then 4.5 home (7:31 pace). She was feeling pretty spunky and wanted to run under 8. I had no complaints was glad i could pace for her. We ran the middle 4 at 7:59 on a hilly (for Buffalo) loop. Felt sluggish at the start but once I was moving it was ok In the afternoon I went on a running outfit shopping spree. I got some needed shorts and tops.
