Notes I was not "feeling" it before I got out the door this morning. As a result, I figured I was in for a slow slog of just "getting it done". Imagine my surprise that this turned out to be a real quality run.

Feeling like I did, I let the first mile just happen whatever the pace ended up being would be fine then I would assess and adjust from there. I think it ended up being 9:00. From there, I figured I wasn't going to push the next mile either but wanted it a bit faster. I targeted 8:49. After that I reassessed and decided to try finishing the run, 8:37/8:25/8:13. This forced me to stay engaged and focused to manage my splits. It worked!

Rest day tomorrow on Easter Sunday.

5M EZ

Summary

Name 5M EZ
Location Houston, TX
Start Time 4/17/2014 7:59 AM (UTC-05:00) Category My Activities:Running
Distance 5.30 mi Time 00:45:35.0
Time Moving 00:45:35.0 Stopped 00:00:00.0
Average pace 08:35 min/mi Max. pace 07:35 min/mi
Weather Cloudy; 58.3 °F
Notes Thunder and light rain when I finally got out for this late start. I was okay with it and actually hoped it would rain harder as I went along ... and I dressed for it. Alas, the rain stopped a mile into it and I was left overdressed ... and overheating.

I was pretty lethargic for this one too. I felt tired on heavy legs. Forced the pace at the end just to try finishing with an 8:37 overall.

Rest day tomorrow.

Notes It's been a long time since I've taken an evening run. This is turned out pretty good. I started a little later than planned due to going out of work a bit late. I stayed close to home since it was dark and I didn't want to venture too for off to the busier main arteries.

I felt good. Maybe it was all of the outdoor grilling I could smell. Or maybe it was the cool night air ... low humidity too!

Absolutely love this one ...

Average pace 08:29 min/mi Max. pace 07:40 min/mi
Weather Partly cloudy; 72.4 °F
Notes Turned this into another "informal" progressive run. For some reason my mind seems to enjoy the run better if it's engaged rather than wandering.

Pace Targets (per mile) (x)/8:37/8:37/[8:37 - (x-8:37)]

Felt pretty good this morning. I'm two weeks into this running reboot and hopefully, this week, I'll be able to feel that the rust has been knocked off for the the most part ... then I can get down to the business of training again. Day 1 of the Week = so far; so good.
