Master runner

Jake, Connor and I Lake Draper recovery run....all dirt. 7:10 pace average hot long run.

8 miles at work 7:48 pace. Solo out and back PF

 Week 11 Boston training

Track workout at Rankin Track with Connor, Andres, David and Jake ran 4 cool down miles with me.

Did 8 x 800 @ 2:36-2:30 with 1/2 mile recovery... goal was 2:36  

Felt great breathing was spot on and I felt about 1/2 my age. Weather was near perfect 1-2 mph wind sunny...shirtless Feb workout on the track.

12 miles total 

Easy out and back recovery run. 8 total 

Ran at work. Paid For (PF)

Thankful to be running healthy. 

Met Jake on Base and had a nice tempo. 8 miles were supposed to be at Boston Marathon pace 5:55...Jake pushed me into a quicker pace but felt good and comfortable I had a time of 46:16 for the 8  5:47 mile pace. Jakes watch had us at sub 46..gotta go with the old man watch.

Weather today was hot 60-65 guessing no wind super humid felt like stormy day in OK.

We saw several folks out and about running including Big Jim who is quickly becoming Slim Jim.

Met Connor on a nearly perfect running day. He had already ran 6, I did 10.56 and Connor dropped off at 6.

Ran on Earlywine 1.5 loop hardly any wind alot of folks out enjoying the nice weather. Felt pretty good most of the run..something about earlywine track bothers my shins when i first start out but usually goes away by first mile or so.

Connor and I were both sporting out new Air Icarus - so for so good. not a bad pair of kicks for 30 bucks.

Looking forward to hitting my long-run in the morning on the OKCMM course..so far Jake, Connor and I are going. We'll be celebrating Jakes new mileage PR.

Windy run

Met with the running crew(Jake, Connor, Ian, and I) at 8am with some generic 5hr energy in hand. Swigged it down and head down the OKC marathon Course.  Took about a mile in to start feeling like a runner, it was about 39 deg out if I had to guess. 

The Plan was to run 18 with the last 4-5 miles at Marathon pace or better and the other miles were to be moderate to hard.

 All was going pretty well about the first 10 miles...then we turned into what i would guess to be a cold 15-20 mph SE wind.. some how i did manage to get 4 miles marathon pace or better and averaged over with my next lowest mile split i would have managed to do the workout.

 Average 6:25 pace for the whole 19 miles. Giving serious consideration to go back out this evening and getting a little over 3 more just to even up my weekly miles to 90.... Good week of running. Buddy Jake ran a record high 140 to top the day out. He's gettin fit and I look to see him do some real good racing soon. 

Connors girlfriend whooped us up some biscuits and SOS gravy that was good stuff.
