Once again

I haven't updated my blog with the past couple of runs. From a priority standpoint this always seems to take a back seat to everything else. So my week thus far is as follows:

Monday - 8 miles outside. The weather was perfect. A little chill to the air, but what do you expect running in the evening time in November. The legs felt good and if I had to estimate I was in the 6:30 range. And at certain points I would put my pace in the upper 5:50's. Work work being shitty I picked up the pace on some straight aways and was basically sprinting.

Tuesday - At the gym with Tanya. I ran 8 miles on the treadmill. The first 4 were at a 6:40 pace. The second 4 were at a 6:28 pace. The legs felt good, but the Ruben I had an hour earlier wasn't sitting well.

Wednesday - 8 miles during lunch on the treadmill. No real reason to run on the treadmill other than I didn't want to go outside. I set the pace at 6:58 and just cruised on in. The legs felt good, but the motivation wasn't there. I'm just glad the miles are done for the day.

And now I only need 408.10 miles to round out my year with 2,500. With 50 day's left to run I need to average 8.162 (or 8.2) miles per day or 57 1/2 mile weeks until the end of the year. Looks like it's time to put up or shut up.
