| Churning out miles. Not too impressed with my pace but I'm pretty happy that I'm still training.

| Did my longest run ever today. I've realized something. I wear a heart rate monitor to measure my effort and it just goes down continually as my run progresses. I've got to figure out how to keep my effort up. I felt like my muscles and joints were more tired than my heart and lungs.
Anybody interested in driving in a golf cart ahead of me to set pace? This is a running blog, so you guys would probably rather run and show me how it's done I guess :-)

| Decided to focus on speed today. My first mile I tied my personal best at 7:32 and I was pleased with my overall 5k pace. Just need to shave down the pace some.

| I've been noticing that starting on mile 6 or so my neck seems really uncomfortable--kind of an achy numb sort of feeling.
Could I be pinching a nerve or could it just be bad form? Thinking about seeing the Chiropractor...
Really enjoyed the run. It's fun to be outside even if the only time I have to run is at the crack of dawn.

| Nice 5 miler today. I tried to keep my shoulders loose by wiggling my arms and stretching frequently but right around the 4.5 mile mark I noticed that my shoulders and neck were beginning to tense up again. I've got to figure out how to stop that from happening or it will kill me on my long runs. I have a long one planned for tomorrow so we'll see what happens.

My mom called me in the middle of my run (and of course I answered :-)), and told me she needed help getting my dad to the emergency room. He had some kind of gallbladder attack and needs to have it removed we are told. I'm glad I was able to help out when I was needed even though it came at an inconvenient time. Now I need to get all amped up and try it again another day.

| Good run this morning with Sheridan. I can tell that my stamina has improved since the last time we ran (over a month ago). Last time we ran he did most of the talking. This time I was able to participate more in the conversation.
Halfway through the run we got hit with some pretty serious rain. Didn't get cold really because we were in the middle of a workout but I was soaked.
Really nice to get back out there after a distracting week!

| Really nice run today. Beat my farthest run by a quarter mile. Had to get up earlier than usual to have time for a longer run but well worth it. The weather was perfect and the atmosphere was peaceful. It felt wonderful to be outdoors enjoying a spring morning. Thinking about this kind of weather in February and March was about all I had to keep me going.
Just continuing to churn out miles.

| Really great run with Sheridan today. I was hoping to record my farthest run of at least 10 miles and we got it done. Miles 3-7 was a lot of hill climbing so it was tough but but it felt really good. That followed a 3 miles of downhill and flat road so it was a good level to end on. Always feels good to inch that mileage higher. I should be ready for a half marathon soon.

| Felt really sluggish today. Got through the run but not sure what wasn't quite right.
