Week of May 2nd - 8th, 2005

Monday 5/2
9pm- I ran 43 minutes today with Rainbolt on the IF fields. It was a perfect temperature out and felt really nice, even cold. The weather has been perfect running weather here the last few weeks, even though it’s supposed to be getting hot.
6 miles

Tuesday 5/3
5pm- I ran 46 minutes on the IF fields. I’m really starting to get sick of this place. I need to find some other grassy areas to run on, that or get back to Greenbelt etc… Felt good though.
6.5 miles

Wednesday 5/4
1pm – I ran 50 minutes with Rainbolt on the IF fields again. I think this will be my last day here for a while. I felt good, and started rolling the last 20 minutes.
7.5 miles

Thursday 5/5
10pm – I had a really long day today getting my car registered, and really didn’t have time to run. I was going to make this my day off, but decided to squeeze in a 25 minute run in the dark at IF, and put in 3 hard strides near the end.
3.5 miles

Friday 5/6
11am – I ran 50 minutes from 0.0 on TL. I ran a short loop over the I35 bridge and then back to 0.0, where I had to add on an extra mile. I felt tired, and the legs didn’t feel so good; maybe because it was getting pretty hot and the sun was beaming down on me. I was still running pretty fast though 6:10-15’s.
7.5 miles

Saturday 5/7
9pm – ran 8 miles on Town Lake on my own. I didn’t wear a watch because I couldn’t find it. I ran pretty hard, but obviously no idea of the pace.
8 miles

Sunday 5/8
11am – I ran 60 minutes today on Town Lake. My legs were really tight and tired from last night, but I struggled through it (felt like the end of a long run), and the last 20 minutes were especially bad. But, I think I was still running 6:15’s or so.
9.5 miles

Week Total – 48.5 miles
