5 mile timed trial in 44:59
This was not a bad effort although not as fast as I would like to be. I will say that this is the best 5 miler I have had since about February or so. The split on the way home was nice too. I give myself a B grade on this run…
RUN ANALYSIS:
5 Miles in 44:59, at average 9:00 min pace and 6.67 mph; out and back splits 23:39 (9:28 pace, 6.34 mph) and 21:20 (8:32 pace, 7.03 mph); mile by mile (9:32, 9:34, 8:49, 8:49, 8:11).

Nice 16 mile run
The objective was to get a good 17 miles in...but due to an "extended" break at mile #7 (ahem), we had to shorten the objective inorder for to get home in time to get ready for church. We were averaging 11 min miles the whole way, and it felt good. There was a 1.5 stretch on the way back where we went a little bit faster because JL joined us...
Next week is a 19 miler...should be fun!

6 miles in 56:58
Not a bad effort at all. In fact, I feel pretty good about this run. I was supposed to get up early and do it this morning, but I made the mistake of signing into work…and…you guessed it, I got hooked in. Luckily, there was a 1hour break at my 2:00 hour so I decided to take advantaged…I am glad I did! The weather was nice in the mid to upper 70s, and very windy. I started with a nice slow pace, and did not really turn on the pace until the last 2 miles.
RUN ANALYSIS:
6 miles in 56:58 at 9:30 pace and 6.32 mph; out in 29:44 (9:55 pace, 6.05 mph) and back in 27:14 (9:05 pace, 6.61mph); mile by mile (9:42, 9:59, 10:03, 9:27, 8:53, 8:54)

3 recovery miles in 31:19
The purpose of today’s run was to recover from the soreness I still feel after Sunday’s half marathon. My knees still hurt a bit, as do my quads and calves. I was able to maintain a 10:30 pace throughout the run.
