11.8 miles this week. 3.75/4/4. The 4 mile runs were really easy, I feel like I’ve reached another level in my running. They aren’t fast but I get back from the run and I’m still feeling strong and I recover very quickly. It’s been a really good running week.
It’s quite unbelievable the feeling I’ve been getting from running. I never would have thought a 4 mile run was easy 3 months ago. I still remember when going a mile was tough, now I don’t really get into my stride until about a mile into a run, that’s when it starts to get easy.

Ran 3 times this week, 3.75 miles each run for a total of 11.25 miles. My pace has picked up it seems like, I’ve been running faster but my average heart rate has stayed about the same if not lower.
I’ve been averaging over 10 miles a week for this month, slowing increasing my daily runs.
I’m still increasing my distance although at a much slower pace, I don’t have any particular goals, just enjoying the process of becoming a runner and the feeling of improvement.

Took almost a week off because I was busy and it was raining. I think the rest was good for me though. Went out this morning and did 3.19 miles in 34:46. It felt good, faster pace than normal and heart rate stayed where it should have.

Woke up early this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep so I went running. 3.68 miles in 29:43. My fastest pace yet for roughly equivalent distance. Heart rate was lower than the last time I ran at this pace. 174 vs 178 last time. I always seem to have good runs when I take Claritin for my allergies. Last time I felt this strong, I took some on the same day, this time, I took some last night and it lasts about 24 hours. I don’t know if it’s coincidence or ?.
I’ve been running more than I’ve been posting here, I did 12 miles last week, I’m almost at 10 already this week. I’ll probably do another 3 this week for a total of 13. I’ve been keeping a log elsewhere, I posted a link at the top of the page.

I’m giving up on the low HR training for now. I can barely run to keep my HR that low, I end up walking most of the time.
I started running again today, went 3.91 miles today in 45:33. The run felt really easy, didn’t feel tired at all, felt like I could have kept going forever.

Ran 3.08 miles in 34:12 on Saturday with a friend. Did the run faster than I was used to and boy was I pooped! Average HR was 178.
I did 3.18 miles tonight in 43:13. Really slow pace, I was trying to keep my HR down. Ending up averaging 158. I barely felt like I got any exercise tonight after my run. I think I’m going to have to build up my mileage a little bit more before I start to run at such a slow pace.

It seems like it takes forever for me to get into my stride. Ran 2.75 miles today, didn’t feel like I started getting into my stride until about 1.5 miles into it. After that, I felt like I could run forever, everything was working together and it felt really good.
Slow pace today, I was taking it easy to make sure I didn’t burn out at the end. Total time, 31:57.

Got the Nike Triax C8 watch today. Went for a run right after work, same 2.48 mile route in 28 flat. Felt better this time compared to my previous runs. Not a fantastic pace but I could have gone faster and I felt good after. The runs are getting easier. Average HR according to the new watch, 174.

I burnt out towards the end of my run today. I think it’s because I ran too close to lunch, I was starving towards the end of my run. I did the 2.48 mile route again in 28:05. Legs were feeling really tired for the first mile or so and then my legs got their stride, unfortunately, in the last quarter mile or so, I just crashed and had to walk for about 30 seconds.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a morning run but I made myself go to bed early last night so I could do this. I did a different 2.46 mile route today in 27:35. Faster than my last run even though I was trying to keep my heart rate down and it felt like I was running really slowly. I did burn out in the last quarter mile maybe, my heart rate just shot up all of a sudden and I just had to walk. I’m not quite sure what happened.
