1.10 9 miles on treadmill at 2% incline in 58 minutes. First 3 miles were in 21:32, then I picked the pace up into a tempo run for a 4 mile run in 22:22 (Equivalent to about 5:29 a mile out on the track), then two miles cool down.
I am satisfied with this run because my legs feel heavy from the previous 3 weeks. I have been logging a lot of miles for me, but this run shows I am making progress.
1.11 3 miles am in 23:30. My legs actually felt awesome.
8 miles early afternoon outside in 54:38.
5 miles in evening on Treadmill at 2% incline in 34:25. I alternated between easy running for 3 minutes and 1 minute strides at about 5:20 pace.
16 miles for today.
1.12 12 miles on treadmill at 2% incline in 79:55. First 9 miles in 62:46. Last 3 in 17:09, which equates to 5:36 outside. The last 3 miles felt pretty comfortable.
1.13 13 miles on treadmill at 2% incline in 93:06. I felt a little sluggish today.
1.14 10 miles in 68:14 on treadmill (2% incline). I am sick of treadmill and I feel pretty sluggish. I was ready to quit at 2 miles.
1.15 12 miles in 87:15 outside. Nice run--nice and easy and felt good.
1.16 8 miles. 2 miles warm up. 4 by 800's with 60 second rest on treadmill at 2% incline in 2:32 (equivalent of 2:30 on track); 400 recovery jog; 4 by 400's with 30 second rest in 74, 73, 73, 72--subtract 1 second for outside time equivalent. 2.75 mile cool down.
80 miles for the week. A great week of running.
As a youth, I ran, yet I did not exist in a sense. 19 years passed. Today, I exist in one sense because I must run. Perhaps I run to escape the futility of my existence. Perhaps not. In either case, this blog, or whatever it is, will serve to chronicle my training as a runner, my development as a man, and ultimately my demise as a human, because all things pass, fade, retreat into the horizon--and while we run, as we run, the mirage that is the shimmering, glimmering future continues to assert itself just out of reach. And yet, as this picture up above connotes, it may still be beautiful. And so the question may be what is IT? What is it? What is IT?
