Some distance

Total miles for the Week: 36.7

The tentative plan for this week is to edge into longer runs and just keep most of them at a very relaxed pace (below 160). Later in the week I'll probably take a 5-6 mile tempo run targeted at 6:00 pace. Other than that, the day-to-day is going to be played by ear.

Ran up Lake to Wapello st. Came back down. Probably ran slightly slower than 7's for most of the run. I tried not to go too fast on the way down to avoid hurting my shins.
Total miles: 6.7

Friday, 6/15
Took the day off since I was generally feeling tired and my feet were still kinda hurting. I should probably get some new walking shoes too

Thursday, 6/14
Easy 5, feet were kinda hurting from being at work all day. Decided not to run the 10 miles I was planning on since my feet hurt too much from crappy shoes. My new nimbi should be here on monday!

Wednesday, 6/13
Ran an easy 5 miles around the track with Mark. After eight laps Ian joined us and mark decided it was time to turn up the pace from about 7 ish to around 6:20 or 30. This felt a little uncomfortable at first especially since I was barefoot but I held out. After a few laps I got the feeling that Mark was trying ease off, but I wouldn't let that pansy ass crap fly with me... If someone wants to start pushing the pace I'm not going to let him or her bail out mid way. I'm gonna keep pushing until they regret that they started doing it in the first place. Also, to any of you reading this, don't take it as a threat or a challenge, take this as a promise. Anyways, kicked hard on the last lap and felt good.

Tuesday, 6/12
Played a softball game, I suppose that gave me a light upper body workout. Afterwards I left to do a moderate run. Ran lower arroyo with some fartleks. finished in 53:12, 7.75 miles, 6:50ish. Felt fresh at the end and managed to muscle a little kick. Afterwards I was saw Feldman run by, so I chased him down and talked to him for a bit about possibly doing some runs together.

total miles: 7.75

Monday, 6/11
Another easy run, 8.25. Again with the heart rate monitor just to make sure things stayed on the easy side. I should probably order new shoes soon since my good old nimbus seem to be just old now and not so good. Also I'm completely loving the new apartment, anyone should stop by and say hi if you have a chance.

Sunday, 6/10
Ran an easy 4 with the heart rate monitor. Kept it cool, below 150 the whole run. Biked back from UCLA in 94 minutes
