Not a memorable run

Today I went out at 10:10 a.m. to the conservatory, did 6 laps there without a watch, in the last lap did 4 strides, the effort was easy, but the legs were a bit heavy plus at that time you are alone with the sun shining, a bit bored, I d rather to run in the predawn, feel better at that time also, all in all, 8.5k untimed.


8.5k total plus 4 strides, without a watch.

Trying to get the pace back

Today I went out to the conservatory alone, around 9.50 a.m., did 3 laps there, then did 2 more laps with a goal of sub 9 mins, wanted to see how I felt running that pace, the 4th lap came in 4.30 and the 5th in 4.19 so for the 2 laps did 8.49 , but still feel the breathing so labored, then did another lap easy and came back to my house to complete the 8.5k in 45.10, not a bad run, but wanted to feel better in the fast portion. In the last 2.3k did 11.56. The weather was decent with too much wind at times.

8.5k total, 45.10.

Nice predawn run

Yesterday I decided to rest.

Today I woke up at 5.20a.m. and went out to the mirador all by myself, I had to work in the morning today because I have and exam at 7 p.m. I did 8k to the mirador in 43.52, felt pretty good, when I woke up never crossed my mind to skip the run, it seems that the dicipline of a true runner is back, nice run.

8k total, in 43.52.

Back to the 6 times per week of running

Today I woke up around 7.15 a.m. and I was out to the conservatory at around 7.45 a.m, I ran without a watch today just putting in the miles, did 3 laps solo, but then ran with an artist called mariojose, a good painter and artist,then I did 3 more laps with him slower but it was better than running solo, did 8.5k today untimed. Felt good but even better that I ran 6 times this week for the first time since my gatorade's training in May so nearly 7 months.

Runs this week: 6 runs.

Kilometraje semanal: Around 46.06 kms, some work to do, but it was quite nice compared to these months.

Today I had in mind something alike than the wednesday, but this time I wanted to feel better, after to laps easy in the conservatory, I started the 2 laps fast, did the first lap in 4.32 and the second lap with the breathing too labored and te legs burned, in 4.18 , so 8.51 for the 2 laps, then did 2 more easy laps, and then from the conservatory to my house did 5.54, for a total of 8.5k in 45.54, no that bad, but I wanted to feel much better in the fast portion. Oh well, I dont know how I ll do on 24th's 5k. I would not surprise myself if I see the 22s. Happy to have gotten back to running.

Kilometraje semanal was around 35.5 kms, getting better.

Monday ran at 8 a.m. did 7.5k watchless, 5 laps to the conservatory, felt good.

Tuesday' at 9 a.m. went out to do 7.5k to the conservatory , I thought that I was running 42 mins, but when I stopped the watch it read 40.16, good time, I did 5 strides , one stride per lap, maybe that helped.

Wedenesday , at 9.40a.m. did the same route watchless, relaxed, but the sun was hot and the legs were a bit rusty from the days straight of running, However, I am getting consistent again,and I love it. 7.5k

Today I decided to rest. but Tomorrow I have an explanation in college and the morning run will serve me well to relax myself, I need to learn to run when the pressures in life are very hard.
