My legs felt like a million bucks today.  I don't think I have ever had my legs feel as good as they did this morning.  The only problems was I did not have a lot of time to run because I was lazy and laid in bed for a half an hour past my usual time.  My daughter doesn't have seminary this week so we were not as rushed this morning and it was a chilly morning and the bed felt so good and warm.  I did a five mile tempo run but I could have done a lot more at the pace I was running.  I will do a little longer recovery run tomorrow.

AP:  7:20

It was a chilly morning, but I did not let my warm bed keep me from getting up so I could get a decent run in.  I did a recovery run this morning, but I tried to keep it at a moderate pace.  Like yesterday, my legs felt really good and I honestly did not feel like I was pushing hard at all.  My legs actually never burned the whole run.  I will be sure to do my recovery run much slower on Thursday.

AP:  8:14

Today was my interval run.  I did 6 miles of 1/2 mile fast followed by 1/2 mile recovery.  I felt good for the first 4 miles but at mile 5 I started going uphill and my legs got pretty worn out.  I also got a side ache around mile 5.  I seem to get those when I have a rapid change of pace.  I have not done a speed workout for a couple weeks so I thought it went pretty good.

I did a recovery run this morning.  My legs felt very tired from yesterday as my run progressed.  The first few miles I felt good, but I could tell about mile 4 my legs were a little worn out.  I kept things at a fairly relaxing pace and tried to not push too hard.  When I got to work my quads were pretty tight, but they have loosened up a little the past half hour or so.

AP:  8:30

I had a really good run this morning.  Ate a little pre-run carbs and off I went.  Kept it at a comfortable pace for the first 14 miles (AP of 8:30-8:40) and the last 5 I increased the pace finishing the last 4 miles around 7:50.  I had a hammer gel and a granola bar during the run with water and gatorade.  I felt really good and even finishing my legs felt pretty fresh.  It is runs like this that really give me a confidence boost for my marathon coming up in February. 

AP:  8:30 according to the watch, but I had to stop a couple times due to phone calls and once to stretch a little so I think my real AP was around 8:25.

Recovery run from my long run yesterday.  My legs were pretty tired so I took it nice and slow.  Kept my pace in the 8:50-9:10 range.
