8 miles this morning: A different route so I took the watch for the first time this week. My week off of running didn't turn out that way. I felt motivated to run so that I could eat any dessert I wanted and drink a couple of beers every night. I don't feel like running hard but I definitely want to run. I ran the last mile today in 5:41 for no good reason at all. I can't believe I ran much faster than that for 13 miles a week ago.

Managed 4.2 miles this morning. Basically forced myself to get up and get a few miles in before work. After a late night at the dealership buying our hip new mini-van and a very early morning of work I had to get up in the middle of the night to run. It' wasn't fun but I still didn't regret it. My main motivation is too not get all the way out of shape so four miles is the new medium long run. My goal for the weekend is to manage an 8 mile run.

8 miles mostly easy with a faster finish for the last couple. I ran the last one in 5:24 and felt like I had just finished a 5k. Overall this felt like a long run. I have gotten out of shape quickly but I'm not too concerned. It's nice to not go out there without a plan and just do whatever I want. Despite the incredibly hot temps here in AZ it felt okay at 4:30 am with the dry air.
