Runner’s diary, Thursday

A surprising day (running on the treadmill) — I felt kind of flat going in, but pushed myself pretty hard, chugging through a slow first mile (about 9:25), hit 18 minutes at the second mile and 26:45 for three. I ended up doing four today in 35:40. That gives me 16 miles for the week, beating my goal of 15.

I tried something a bit different, some interval training — increasing my speed and then slowing several times — to help build my kick.

Runner’s diary, Wednesday

Sometimes I get too busy to post. But I do get to it eventually.

Today — a surprising five miles in just over 45 minutes. I had done the first four mile at a better than nine-minute pace, but slowed for the final mile. I had started with the notion of doing three or four, so that last one was gravy.

Today’s iPod selection: The Beatles, Revolver and Rubber Soul.
