blustery 7

 Brooks

had a good 7km run this morning. I waited until it warmed up a little but it was still chilly. A storm is supposedly approaching, even though the skies are blue (for now) and the weather is slightly warmer. It was very blustery so that might be a sign that the forecast is correct about the approaching storm. I wore my long sleeved running shirt due to the chillier weather. When I was in the sun with no wind, I thought I had overdone it with the shirt selection, but I was thankful in the sections that were very windy. Still finished with a great pace despite the winds.

very good 6.5

 Brooks

I just had a very good mid-day run. It was still chilly but warmed up enough for me to go out in the beautiful big blue skies for a 6.5km run at a very good pace. It was a bit difficult as my legs were feeling a bit strained with muscle pain from the running. 

I have not been running all that much through the recent stretch of bad weather, so it isnt overuse. I have been running faster recently, so maybe it is because of that. I actually thought that maybe I have changed my posture and form recently so maybe because of that I am feeling the muscle stress as I use different muscles now, but then I realized that I recently got faster and maybe that is also a result of a change, but I dont know if this is accurate as I felt like I was running in pretty good form for a while already and now I feel like it as well, and I dont notice any significant change in my running form. It will probably remain a mystery.

very good 7.5

 Brooks

Got in a very good mid-day 7.5km run. After last week's pain, I took some days off and that led into some bad weather, so I used the pain excuse to take some more days off. Today turned warmer than expected, though still chilly, and I got some free time around noon, so went out for a run. The run was pain-free, so all good on that front, and I ran hard and had a very good 7.5km run. The rainy weather is returning, so we'll see what is next

disappointing 5

 Brooks

I was having a great run at a great pace in the beautiful sunny weather when I stopped at a bit over 5km to take a phone call and catch my breath. A minute or two later I started up again but felt a sharp pain in my thigh. I stopped and stretched and tried to start again and it was  still there so I called the end to my run and finished at 5 (a little bit over). Hopefully it will clear u quickly but it brought an abrupt end to what was a really good run

great 7

 Brooks

great mid-day 7km run. The weather out there today is really beautiful, if a bit on the warm side. Really great day for a nice run. Pace is still great and unexpected.

great 8.5

 Altra Rivera

Just had a great mid-day 8.5km run at a great pace. 

I think I might be on to something. As I cut back my running, I am running better. Maybe those rest days in between runs is really important and beneficial. Maybe all those experts I usually ignore arent wrong after all!

great 7

 Altra Rivera

great 7km run. Was up early but I decided not to run because of the cold, but I also knew there was a good chance because of my planned schedule that I would have some time for the run when the sun is up and the temperatures will have warmed up. It worked out and I was able to get out in the beautiful weather and go for a nice run. Everything felt great and I ran at a very good pace. I felt strong. I was wavering between a 5 and 6km run, due to a scheduled meeting, and then decided I would push it and get back just shortly before the meeting and run 6.5, but then ended up pushing it to 7. And then I found out my meeting was postponed half an hour so I could have even run a bit more. Anyway, great run, great pace

great 10

 Brooks

Great 10km mid-day run. Went out late, in the cloudy and windy and cool weather and had a great run at a phenomenal pace. A pace I rarely hit.

great 8

 Brooks

With the weather turning better than expected, I went out for a run. I got in a great 8km run. My legs felt a little strained late in the run, as I was running faster than normal, but it was a really good run that I finished at 8km.

decent 6.5

 Brooks

Went out mid-day for a run. It was beautiful weather so I was extra motivated to get out, but I must say it was warmer than expected. Anyway I had a decent 6.5km run at a good pace. Felt a little on tired legs at times but overall pretty good, and the pace was good.

great 8.5

 Altra Rivera

The rain passed and the weather got beautiful again. I went out and ran 8.5km in the beautiful weather, sunny and great air. Felt strong and ran at a great pace. This whole week has been good strong runs, though a bit less distance than I would have preferred.

good mid-day 7.5km run. Felt good, very strong. Solid run. It was very windy, with the storms approaching. Made it difficult in some points running into a strong headwind, but I survived it...
