AZ Run Dad

30 minutes on the elliptical. Excruciatingly boring. I wanted to sweat a little but it was 110 out when I made that decision.

8 miles with the last 2 in 11:29. Felt like half marathon effort which was actually good for me. I thought I was running slower. I decided to pick up the last two randomly so I literally didn't plan on the "workout" until 6 miles. It felt good to run hard and not feel completely out of shape.

10 miles at a moderate pace. This was my longest run in a couple of weeks and I was hungry all day today because of it. 4 miles = medium long and 10 miles = hungry all day. 

4 + easy. Finally 4 miles feels like a shorter run. 

8 miles with the last 4 in 23:20. I wanted to run an easier tempo at around 6 min pace but as usual I ran faster. I was 5:58, 5:51, 5:50, 5:40. It really felt pretty smooth most of the way but I could feel the 5:40 at the end with my lack of endurance and overall conditioning. This was still a nice surprise though given my recent running.

10 miles easy but it still felt long. I'm glad I got it in though and 40 miles for the week is something I'll take at this point.
