got my long run in tonight. Crazy weather, it is 30-40 mph winds with gusts in the 50s. So I basically repeated similar North and South routes over and over again til I accumulated 12 miles. I did manage to time a few miles so I know I hit 2 miles in GMP, one at 6:48 and the last mile in 6:56. Overall a great run that just was kind of spurt of the moment. Total time was 1:25:08, which translates to 7:06 avg pace.

4.2 miles today in 30:17, 7:13 avg. Had to run strictly north-south routes as the west wind was constant at 35 mph with gusts often at 50+ mph. The whole state is under a high wind warning, ive never seen anything like it. Cant wait for calm conditions again!

So ran a great tempo run today. The distance was 5 miles and I wanted to stay between 6:00-6:10 as that is my GHMP. Thought it was a good sign when I ran my warmup mile in 6:51, or GMP. Splits on the actual tempo:

1-  6:05.2

2- 6:02.9

3- 5:53.8 (18:02, 6:00.67 avg)

4- 6:07.1

5- 6:03.7

TOTAL-- 30:12, 6:02.5 avg pace

Overall, ran a great tempo today, I was very happy with it. I felt pretty good and kept rolling off even splits. Pretty happy to start off so well and then run my fastest mile as my 3rd one. Still a bit windy today, but ran well regardless!

The last 2 miles I had major GI issues and lets just say that complicated matters. Overall, a decent run despite some major sore legs.

repeat miles today. Was planning on doing 4, but my left calf was hurtin so I stopped after the 3rd repeat. Goal wasnt to go all out like it sometimes is when I do repeat miles, instead I wanted to push the pace but still be able to settle in and I did that to a decent extent. Pretty good splits overall considering the 1st and last were into 15 mph headwinds. Its been windy here lately.other than that, absolutely gorgeous morning in the mid-50s. Splits:

1- 5:48.9

2- 5:47.0

3- 5:43.9

took about 3 min breaks between each rep. overall, pretty even splits.
