Clearly going backwards here. Can't wait for the wife and kid to go back to work/school next week from their 3 week break. We'll see if I'm able to put a 5-6 day week together here this upcoming week.

10.03 miles in 1:14:11 (7:23s). Progressive run today. Temps around 70, mild and sunny, no wind. 10 miles progressive (mostly) today. The plan was to stick in the mid-AB range today, but I felt good and the pressed pace wasn't at all very taxing. The final mile before the cool down I focused entirely on breathing and form, the result gave me a what felt like a very strong mile (6:02). Splits as follows:

8:01, 7:44, 7:25, 7:34, 7:13, 7:31, 7:09, 6:53, 6:02, 8:34 (1.03 cool down)

No Garmin, no headphones today, 55 degrees and sunny. Very light and easy AB/Fat Run today. The miles were comfortable. Google maps says it was 8.2. I checked my Garmin for a similar stored run and I'm putting it about 8.1. Either way, the pace shows much faster than it FELT. At 8 miles in 1:00:33 would have been 7:34s, 8.1 @ 7:28s and 8.2 @ 7:23s. I'm going to split the difference and call this 8.1 @ 7:28s. Very solid considering I was running on feel and trying to stay light and easy.

Pouring rain today. 8.05 miles on the Dreadmill, progressive style. Started out at about a 7:45 mile and dropped it around 5-6 seconds/mile every mile. Finishing mile in 7:08. The humidity was crazy in the gym and when I finished my clothes were as drenched as a mid-summer run. Heart rate was probably faster than pace would indicate, so I'm going to claim all these miles were done 10-15 seconds/mile faster in terms of heart rate.
